Restobar Hop : Handuraw at the Square

Hearing Handuraw reminds me of my college days when my barkada used to hang out here sometimes. So when a friend invited me to Handuraw I was eager to come. Well, I thought we were heading the one near UP. But to my surprise, we went to JY Square and in the far end is their another branch (Sweet!)

It's pretty quiet here since it's very secluded place. And the serving capacity of the store is mostly likely 20 people at max. There is no band but they have music (one time I heard them playing Pusong Bato! lol). 

What I love here is their Below Zero beer. Well, if you do drink beer, you'd flock here since the beer taste good in below zero temperature ^___^..

We also did order their meat overload pizza. It was good as well.

I love to spend some time here since it quite and not much people. This will definitely in my Place-to-be-Chillin place now :)

Bon Appetit.

Resto Hop : 30 Kitchen

A foodie friend from Japan asked us to have a dinner somewhere just to somehow catch up with a few things with the rest of the circle.

So Ethz (another foodie friend) coordinated with me for a nice place to eat. After a few checks, we came to decide to eat at 30 Kitchen.

Well, Ethz did some research and as per her, 30 Kitchen had good reviews. So we went there last 08/14/2013 to have our dinner.

The restaurant was located at The Gallery, Lahug Cebu City. It was kindda small so if you are planning to have like 10-20 people, you might think twice spending it there. What caught our attention was the chair inside the resto. It was short like a kiddie chair wahaha.. You can barely lend back cause you might fall.

After we made ourselves comfortable in our seats, we asked for the menu. Well, the prices were in Casa Verda and Mooon Cafe range. So, we ordered the following :

• Pork Steak - common dish so I want to know how they prepare this

• Pork Schnitzel - sounds foreign for me :)

• Belly Crunch - sound new to me as well :)

 

After 15-20 mins, our orders arrived. The Belly Crunch dish was good for two I guess. Then proceeded with the nam-nam session (eating).

So here's what I could say.

• Pork Steak - I have eaten pork steak before but this is different. I loved the sauce. A very delicious combination of the pork and the sauce.
• Pork Schnitzel - A very tasty combination of pork and sauce as well. The sauce in this dish was a lot creamier than the later.
• Belly Crunch - more like a battered beef to me. It was tasty as well.

All in all, we were satisfied for the dishes we ordered. We had good time also talking about things had happened in the past few months that we haven't seen each other.

So that concludes my visit in 30 Kitchen.

Bar Hop : Perking at NorthPerk

I've been hearing a few new places to hang-out and one just close from my crib. So after a friendly invite, our group came into this place and had a great time at NorthPerk Billiards.


This bar is located near the old Mandaue Public Market. All jeepneys bound to Mercado Mandaue will never miss passing this place. And its huge Label won't let you miss it too. You can see it on your right side. And for all those who easily gets lost like me, sit at the left side so you'll be facing the right side. Okay?

This bar offers an area to listen for band music, rooms for karaoke, and billiard tables. They offer limited dish and drinks. So don't expect that they have everything here. 


If you are around Mandaue area and looking for a cool place to have fun while listening a good music or singing your heart out, drop by here!




Amusez Vous Bien!
