Kainang Pilipino at Chika-an sa Cebu

Cebu has always been a cradle of good eats here in the Philippines.  Starting from the world famous Cebu lechon, chicharon sa Carcar, chorizo de Cebu to Siomai sa Tisa, ngohiong, tuslob buwa, etcetera, etcetera.  You just can’t go to any other place in the country to satisfy your gastronomic needs!  From the streets to high-end restos, Cebu just got it all and one of the best places where Filipino food is served at its finest is Chika-an sa Cebu.

Chika-an is very accessible all over the city ‘coz branches are strategically put up in malls.  What I liked best in their menu are the lutong-bahay veggie dishes namely utan bisaya and pakbet.  These are ordinary viands served usually in turo-turo and if you are in big cities, you’ll surely have a hard time finding ’em.  So if you want something that would taste like home, do try Chika-an’s for its surprising twist too!

And for the rest of the dishes, it’s history!  No need for more blah blah blahs, you have to try ’em for yourself!  And oooppss, don’t forget to order their biko for dessert.  It’s a must!  So if you are an OFW who misses Filipino home-cooked meals a lot, do drop by at Chika-an sa Cebu.  They also have branches in Manila, Davao, and Cagayan de Oro so you can’t have an excuse.  Tag along your whole family ‘coz as Filipinos, “kainang pamilya mahalaga“!

Mary Rosalie Olandesca, a lover of the arts, humanities, and social sciences, found herself entangled in the realm of applied science and engineering, a path that didn't align with her true passions. Determined to break free from her "chemical engineer" title in the Philippines, she embarked on a brave journey to Toronto, fitting her life in only two suitcases. Despite completing her Chemical Laboratory Technician program at Seneca Polytechnic just recently, she realized that the chemical world failed to ignite her heart. A momentous realization led her to embrace her true calling as a writer, with a Creative Writing course acting as the catalyst for her long-time passion in wordsmithing. Thus emerged the extraordinary persona of Mae, the other side of her multifaceted identity.
