Foodie Tuesday: Hukad sa Golden Cowrie

Blog

We all got hungry after hours of strolling around the mall, right?

And when it comes to food, I want them served pleasing, and satisfying.

If you’ve been to Ayala Cebu or Ayala Centrio CDO, you’ve probably heard of Hukad sa Golden Cowrie.

(I heard they’re everywhere in Visayas and Mindanao)

Hukad offers our favorite Filipino dishes in a modern dining experience.

I am positive you will love Filipino food more when you try their specialties.

Crispy Liempo

Calamares

Hit Me Baby-Back Ribs One More Time (See what I did there? ^__^)

Be sure to check out the nearest Hukad Sa Golden Cowrie.

They have the best customer service (especially in Ayala Cebu).

And oh, did I mention? They’re easy on the budget!

PIZZA FREDDO EXPERIENCE

Cagayan De Oro

It started when I have this friend who keeps on tweeting about this pizza place in Cagayan De Oro City. It’s called Pizza Freddo and she’s been blabbing about it personally and online! I honestly got curious and planned to check the place out.

We all have those days when we crave for something, and our taste buds would seek for a certain tang. This time, my taste buds are craving for carbonaras, so I tagged my two other buds to check out the place.

There’s another branch of Pizza Freddo in Gran Europa but the one we went to was the one in Patag, right in front of the day care center.

My friend ordered her favorite Carbonara Chicken, and I followed suit. I made a point to her that I have set my expectations high because of her constant blabbing on how good it is.

Home-made carbonara with mushroom. Who can say no to that?

And alas, IT REALLY WAS!

I am no food critic, so I can’t describe how good it was with all those flourish words but all I can say is that my expectations were met. It succeeded my expectations, actually. All those craving I had was gone. It had the right cheesy taste that my taste buds enjoy. Not too much, and definitely not bland. I can say that their carbonara is definitely the best one I’ve tasted so far.

And the aftermath? Well, look, Ma!

Their Carbonara’s are worth a hundred and thirty bucks and it was all worth it. Quality is indeed their recipe.

They also have other home-made pastas and pizzas as well, for a very reasonable price.

Go and check Pizza Freddo out!: http://4sq.com/1BTTFtQ

Exploring Lawis: Iligan’s Another Hidden Gem

Everybody loves to indulge on cold waters especially during summer as their way to beat the summer heat. And what else will be better than dipping into it and feel refreshed?

In Iligan City, normally, when you ask the locals the best places to chill, common answers will be Tinago Falls, and Timoga. However, there’s another place that is now getting a lot of attention from tourists and locals who wants to take a dip in a cold spring water during this scorching season.

Around 25 minutes from the City proper, Lawis Natural Springs is another hidden gem of the City. Located in Barangay Buru-un, Lawis will definitely satisfy your need to relax and unwind in a nature scenery.

Surrounded by tall coconut trees, a calming breeze from the springs will welcome you after a few minutes stroll from the main highway. The nature scenery is at its most charming and dipping in an icy-cool, crystal clear freshwater is the best part.

There are cottages that can be used, surrounding the natural springs, which ranges from P75 to a hundred bucks. Few mini-stores are present, and also Karaoke’s for those who would love to sing their hearts out while relaxing.

The narrow and rock-strewn path from the highway to the springs could’ve been better to provide easy access for the tourists, however, it can be considered as part of the challenge for those adventure-seeking nature lovers.

Lawis has a potential to be another well-known tourist spot in the region, and the best way to preserve this God-given gift, is to be well-disciplined in maintaining the cleanliness of our nature.
