The Road to Exciting Culinary Discoveries at The Outlets

Known for its year-round discounts on branded must-haves, The Outlets at Pueblo Verde now offers shoppers a new and delicious kind of experience as its new wing, Fork in the Road, opened on December 12.


This new wing is in tune with The Outlets’ mantra of #GreatDeals and #GreatFinds in that it will serve as an avenue for homegrown culinary discoveries that complement the outlet shopping experience. Craving for authentic Italian? Try the Gamberi alla Padella or the Risotto con Funghi at Pigafetta, a restaurant named after the first Italian who arrived in Cebu. Shopping in a big group? Bring your family or your barkada to Big Flat Bread and have a slice or two of pizza heaven. In the mood for elevated native dishes? Zubuchon will satisfy your craving for what world-renowned chef Anthony Bourdain has hailed as the “best pig…ever.”


Other restaurants that are part of the Fork in the Road family are: Manggahan Restobar, the beloved sleeper hit that specializes in grilled meat and seafood dishes; Kogi-Q, a Korean-inspired joint known for its all-you-can-eat yakiniku; Choobi Choobi, sought for its Shrimp and Seafood in a Bag house specialty; and Tea Kingdom, for fans of organic milk tea drinks. These diverse food options add to the existing culinary finds at The Outlets that include Bo’s Coffee, Calda Pizza, Black Pearl, Cherry’s Nutritional Value Juice and Smoothie Bar, Famous Belgian Waffle, and Naidz Goodies and Cream.


In a manner of speaking, the launch of Fork in the Road provides shoppers a figurative fork in the road, in that one way leads to an adventurous culinary journey, the other a mad hunt for treasures offered at 20% - 70% discounts, with the opening of additional outlet stores that include Oakley Vault; Onitsuka Tiger Outlet; Asics Outlet; Comfit; Casio/G-Shock; Fusion, which carries Keds and Merrell; The Bench Depot outlet, which offers brands such as Cotton On, F&X, Celio, La Senza, Aldo, Call It Sprint, New Look, Pedro, and Kashieca; and Red Tag by Rustans carrying brands like Armani Exchange, Reiss, Ralph Lauren Kids, Roots, Women’s Secret, DKNY, Diesel, A2, Castell, and Amazonas.

“As a developer, we make it a point to stay responsive to worldwide and local trends,” said Rafael F. de Mesa, VP of AboitizLand, Inc. “Fork in the Road is yet another milestone in our continued response to the increasing demand for a spectrum of retail and restaurant/café formats.”

Indeed, Fork in the Road serves as the grand signpost that points to promising roads ahead. As AboitizLand takes The Outlets to expand on a national level, the company goes beyond being a developer by commissioning retail real estate that creates unique and distinctive experiences through dining, shopping, and entertainment. For its retailer partners, this means a golden opportunity to thrive in the most robust markets in country. In this regard, shoppers and retailers alike are to expect new, exciting, and unique features in future developments of The Outlets, details of which will be revealed very soon.

Easily accessible by jeepneys, taxis, and private vehicles, The Outlets at Pueblo Verde can be found along M. Patalinghug Jr. Avenue, MEZ II, Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.
