Bigby's Cafe

Last semester, before going home to our hometown, we had tried out Bigby's Cafe. We're quite interested when we heard that their dishes tastes good.

This Bigby's Cafe branch is located in Ayala: The Terraces in Cebu City, as usual :). Since it's our first time and we didn't stay long, I have nothing much to say except that their staff are good, and of course their dishes are really good. I forgot the name of the dish but similar to Casa Verde's best sampler where parts of different dishes are served in one plate and the combinations are really good. But as we thought that we got Calamares included, we we're disappointed to find out that it was Onion Rings, we didn't read the menu thoroughly, we just looked at the pictures.

Anyway, we had our fill in there and this place is really recommended. To traveling tech geeks, they also have free WiFi!

Golden Cowrie (Hukad)

Next stop is in Golden Cowrie also known as Hukad. This one's in Ayala: The Terraces in Cebu City's Business Park.

Being placed in Ayala's new park or zone, The Terraces which looks really classy, one would think that all restaurants and fast foods here are expensive and can really burn a hole to your wallet.

Not with Hukad. True that their restaurant sure looks classy and expensive, but try to dine in and you'll be surprised to find out that most of their dishes are very affordable compared to other restaurants of the same caliber. Here in Hukad,
P300.00($7.00) to P500.00($11.00) is already enough to fill 3 to 4 person's stomach with their delicious dishes coupled with unlimited rice!

We went here twice already and their staffs look friendly so we have nothing to complain about them. They attentively come to your needs like when you want another serving of rice, or you want to order for more.

During our visit here, the dish that we really liked was the Baked Scallops. They also serve Chicken Pandan, and their Lechon Kawali also tastes great! And if you want to be tropical, you can have coconut juice for your drink!

By the way, there is also a Hukad branch in SM City Cebu. Can't wait for our next visit to either of their branches.

To tourists and locals alike, I recommend you Hukad.

KFC's Krushers

Ok. So I based this one on the KFC branch in Metro Ayala in Cebu City. So what do I have to say?

It's not so long ago that they've released to the public their new product "Krushers". A sort of shake that was available in three flavors namely, Caramel, Cookies and Cream, and Strawberry Yoghurt. People have different tastes and in this case, I like them all but my most favorite is the Caramel followed by the Strawberry Yoghurt.

The Caramel Krusher is a very nice complement to their wide array of choices of food. I usually dine in with "Chinese Imperial" paired with Caramel Krusher. By the way, when you dine in a food with accompanying softdrink, you can upgrade the softdrink to a Krusher instead by adding P 40.00. If you're buying the Krusher in solo, it's P 60.00 for you.

So then, Caramel Krusher was great and it's really commendable. In its early release, it is loaded with chocolate crumbs inside until about three months later, there are no more chocolate crumbs for you but just pure ice shake with caramel flavor, but at the same price. It is somewhat tolerable to some extent but now, they have phased out the Caramel flavor for unknown reasons. One speculation is maybe the ingredients are not feasible or too expensive for them? I wonder. But the surer thing is I don't like the flavor they have replaced for Caramel: Mocha.

I do love Mocha, I just don't like the way they make it. Or I like the way they make it but it's not worth my money anymore. They didn't change the price but they made their products cheaper in quality.

I hope not all KFCs compromise their food quality over savings. Customers are your greatest assets. Until then, have a good day to all. :)
