CEBU CITY

My first time to Cebu City was work related. We had to go inspect "Sundance Cebu" and my hubby was required to check the progress of a project inconnection with Metro Cebu Water District. Since, the trip was officially business, we tried to make the most out of the remaining time we had to enjoy and tour the area, plus, there's a storm coming so the afternoons were rainy...

I enjoy observing how the pilot manoeuvre the plane

I'm always in awe on how pilots and their big birds soar high!

A history of crude beginnings through the struggle to perfect new air crafts and techniques in manipulating the metal birds.. :D

Well, that's another story.

Moving on, after less than two hours we landed at last...

Mactan Cebu International Airport - the plane landed on Mactan Island, where Mactan International Airport is located, it is one of the major airports in the Philippines that cater local and international flights.

My hubby used to stay at Crowne Plaza Hotel, but during 'our' stay, we had our reservation at Metro Park Hotel in Lahug. Below where some of our picture before taking our breakfast.

The usual commute ride here were jeeps, tricycle and "habal-habal" which is a motorcycle than can carry 4 to 6 pax! I'm not ready for that so we ride a pedicab. :D

 Here's a peek on inspections we made during our stay there. :)

The trip was short but was jam-packed! We will definitely go back here and maybe next time, longer! hehe

FOOD TRIP: Ato Ato Barbeque and Restaurant

Ato-Ato Lahug branch is one of the restaurants in Cebu my hubby was bragging about! lol If Jack's Restaurant is one of Baguio City's local favourite pig-out, Cebu City's bet would be the Ato-Ato Barbeque and Restaurant aside from the well-known Lechon Cebu. 

I first noticed that the parking lot covers half of the lot, and is always almost full. A lot of foreigners are coming in, and take note, they are willing to wait! J Which made me curious, “Why?” The place is simple. The parking lot is not even fully furnished. The wooden structure is mostly made of bamboo. The ads on the walls are simple coloured posters. There’s nothing special with the dining area just plain plastic tables and chairs. Few decors are displayed...

Not, until I saw the menu. They offer seafood and meat grills, soft seashell soups, fresh fruits and drinks from sodas, juices to cocktail. And that didn’t stop at that. The serving is big for a price that is incredibly cheap!

Panaw Soup

I really enjoyed munching the giant squid for Php12 per stick! The other barbeques ranges from Php15 to Php35, less than a dollar... Amazingly cheap!

When you dine in, don’t forget to order a seashell soup and the “Fruit Twister”, at less than $4 or Php150 you could enjoy a pitcher of fresh fruit juice with real fruit chunks. It’s perfect to pair up with the juicy greasy salty barbeques to balance the flavour.

"fruit twister" is in every table

Ato-Ato BBq & Restaurant is perfect for good quality dine-in at a budget! I would give four stars out of five to this authentic seafood haven.


Whenever, I'm hungry of seafood I always wish I could fly to Cebu to eat at Ato-Ato! :P
