Cafe Laguna

Continuing with our Cebu trip--dinner with the barkada was a unanimous vote for Filipino food, and we opted to try the food at Cafe Laguna at the Ayala Center in the Lahug area.  The restaurant is a popular choice amongst the locals and we had a feast with several dishes--pork sinigang (tamarind soup), chicharon bulaklak, fresh lumpia (spring roll), fried beef ribs, sweet-sour shrimp & stuffed crabs.  All in all, the bill came to something like P500 per head.  At the end of the meal, we realized that the food was actually Luzon-style cooking and it was quite ironical that we came all the way from Manila to Cebu just to eat Laguna cooking!  Well, good ambience and good food gave us all a good time.
