I recently had the most satisfying and unforgettable lunch in Gorliz Tapas y Vinos . And at the end of it, I said to myself, why did I wait for so long to try this restaurant out. I so loved the experience that I had with Gorliz that I've been recommending the place to my friends and colleagues.  I've come up with 13 reasons why you have to try Gorliz Tapas y Vinos to make it easier to convince people to check out the restaurant in Streetscape, Maria Luisa Road, Banilad.  You might be wondering what Gorliz is all about. It's a gastronomic journey to the heart of Basque cuisine. The owners' family can trace their origins to Gorliz which is a town in Biscay which lies within the Basque Region of Northern Spain. Most of our Spanish food heritage came from the Basque region as the majority of those who emigrated to the Philippines came from this area. It's a little weird that Cebu being the first island to be colonized by the Spaniards, I could count in one han

One of my favorite TV shows is Masterchef Australia. I can't believe how amateur cooks and chefs can come up with amazing dishes using unusual ingredients. Their creations were restaurant-quality and something that we don't normally experience when dining in Cebu. Nutella Cheesecake-  Hazelnut Nutella Truffle, Candied Hazelnuts, and Granola Crumbs And so when I first entered Kayu, it was like walking into a California restaurant. It had that Napa Valley atmosphere to it. Dark wood interiors, hardwood table tops, artsy lighting, and the only thing missing was a fireplace. For some, the place might be intimidating, but for me it was cozy. It's not every day that you get to sample dishes made by chefs who are passionate about their food. Each dish is presented with enough joie de vivre to infect anyone and everyone who try their dishes. Food artistry at it's finest. Kayu's food is not your typical Filipino or Cebuano fare. You have to prepare your taste buds for its mo

It took me 25 years to join a McDonald's Kiddie Crew Workshop. Even though it was just for a couple of hours, it was fun seeing kids from SOS Children's Village participate in the Summer Workshop.

C olon Street in Cebu City has the distinction of being known as the oldest street in the Philippines. Throughout its more than 400 years of existence, Colon has been the center of trade, fame, prominence and even notoriety. Colon Street Heritage Marker 2001 Named after the famed Genovese navigator and explorer, Cristobal Colon or Christopher Columbus, Colon street appeals to tourists and locals alike. Bargain shopping and deals abound the various establishments that surround the street. Its historical and commercial value cannot be surpassed. Similar to going to Quiapo or Divisoria or Recto, one has to be on high alert and aware of everything that's going on around you. It doesn't help that the years of neglect and the "I don't care" attitude added to the atmosphere of grittiness and griminess that exudes from Colon. Last Friday, I was doing research for an article I was planning to write about Colon when I came across a couple of posts pertaining to Heritage Ma
