    REDMOON Chinese restaurant - Banilad

    food's authentic chinese and very affordable. where can you find a decent resto in which you would only spend 500 pesos for a dinner date? beat that =)

    Alavars de Cebu
    Address: The Hangar, Salinas Drive, Lahug

    Cuisine: Filipino
    Price Range: Around 180-250++ per person
    Meals are priced at: P90 - P600 (but mostly 100+)

    Well the new Alavars de Cebu is definitely a must try. Although there is not a lot of variety on the food choices, they do have good food. I highly recommend their crispy pata, which is priced around P280 (serves 3-4) and the banana-wrapped lapu-lapu, which comes with this really good sauce. If you're a fan of seafoods, they have a seafood platter which has a lil bit of everything (like scallops, etc.). The place is also famous for their crabs (i forgot the dish name, sorry!) which is around P500+ and serves 3-4.
    Drinks range from P25-P70.

    The interiors are nice, simple yet classy. And the place has both airconditioned and non-airconditioned areas. The waiting staff is also friendly. Oh, and they serve complimentary tea! Sweet! I'm definitely going back.

    @junpei,

    the restaurants on your list are pretty good...but it really depends on who your taking out to the restaurants...your cousins are balikbayans? how old? are u trying to introduce Filipino dishes to them? you want to give them food they are familiar with? or impress them?

    Krua Thai is ok...safe and predictable, you wont really go wrong unless they dont like Thai food and the price is just right
    I take my foreigner and balikbayan friends there, they werent disappointed. Lemon grass is an alternative...

    Golden Cowrie Lahug ... good if its Filipino food you want. i havent been there in years, but if its the same quality as before
    im sure they will enjoy it

    yup, they're just here for a weeks' visit. 2nd time around this century after spending 20+ yrs abroad.
    nawh, just wanted to let them enjoy our available dishes here in cebu not really for the sake of trying to impress them. last time they were here they never got to like any of the food (native, japanese, korean...) except for a few dishes. they preferred fastfood over any restaurants anytime. I couldn't even believe they turned down roast pig (lechon) lol. its been quite a while and restos are popping up since the time from their last visit.

    never had thai food but I might go and try it out one of these days. is it pricey? recommended budget?

    @Galadriel
    so its mostly native dishes in golden cowrie? would you mind if I ask for a budget range?

    thnx guys. really appreciate it

    La Mignon Steak House("the Best Steak House in the City" or so they claim) in Ayala Entertainment Center...

    SUCKS! There was like 5 of us, and bill was 2,500 pesos, and the service and food is one of the suckiest. We dont mind paying for such price if its worth it. But this is one of those in which its not... not at all!

    First we ordered our meals, gave the beer one of us specifically said to be served ahead. Then they, on 3 occassions came back that 3 of our different orders were out of stock. They said food will be ready in 15-20 mins. It came to us 35 mins. after. Steak tastes like homemade steak, nothing special. Then we almost finished our food before the rest of the drinks came(and we kept on asking them about it). Their pasta is too sour. We ordered mushroom soups(it came along with our dish) and they served onion soups, and when we complained, they said they ran out of mushroom soup(if we didnt complain they didnt bother to explain)... the onion soup got more onions than soup, seems like they put all onions then add a bit of water then heat it up.

    Its a total rip off! I prefer Jollibee or "pungko pungko" over it, that much I swear to God. WORST RESTAURANT I BEEN!

    Avoid it at all cost unless you really have too much money to spend and have this thinking that we all got different tastes. But let me tell you, this is the first time my family and I agree on a restaurant's food/service. Usually we have different opinions.

    -5/5
