Cebu is my 2nd home,
because Cebu open my eyes in a lot of things.
The city is located on the eastern shore of
Cebu island. It is the first Spanish settlement and the oldest city in the Philippines. For me Cebu is
a very good / nice place to stay. Cebu also known for a lot of title such as
the queen city of the south, a very well known the sinulog festival, bacilica
de sto nino de cebu, people are warm and kind, beautiful beaches / island destination,
tourist spot ( many to mention ),etc….etc….etc….. but for me Cebu is also the
best when it comes to street food. ( whenever I’m here I try to drop off once In
awhile to my favorite street food location )
------This is my top food street-------
1. Siomai sa tisa ( a lot of siomai
version in cebu but siomai sa tisa is the one for me )
When I’m eating siomai I will not
forget her partner the pancit canton ( original flavor by lucky me ) and puso (
hanging rice )…hehehe plus very cold soft drinks.
Location: siomai sa tisa is located
at labangon ( tisa area ) siomai sa tisa open at night beacause they just
set-up their stall at the highway. ( there are some open in the morning but for
me its more nice eating siomai at night. )

Ngohiong…….this is also my old time favorite ngohiong with a perfect
sauce ( in cebu a lot of ngohiong version, but what I love must is the ngohiong
