Christmas is here once again! Season for gift giving, loving and forgiving, not to mention Limited Christmas Muchers! Christmas had always been one of my favorite holidays, not just because of the gifts but because everybody gets a bit nicer on December. haha. (At least some peeps gets to be a bit nice for at least a month!) Haven't been going out that much, but when I do, I check out what's new around town! So now, am on the hunt for Christmas Grabs - grabs and munchers that are offered only during the festive holiday season - Christmas! Below are a list of what I have tried so far!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div>1. <i><b>Red Ribbon's Choco Mango Mousse</b></i> -<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Trying it out with a date, it definitely was a magical treat! Red Ribbon's Holiday offering to it's patrons - <i><b>Choco Mango Mousse</b></i>! It's made of creamy mango mousse with mango bits on top of chocolate mousse and moist chocolate pound cake and embraced with Chocolate Ganache! Then finishing off with a scoop of Mango and Chocolate shaving. Priced at 70php per slice and 700 for the whole cake! I would also recommend their Choco Fudge Cake! Yum! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJAU17YdvB1qFmqQ-FB3aVsITUDOuHjCJq7XYoSULupvRvbt0lrkBKGMv5uPcEqzcHu2nAR-MV8CMMNp9uagIuEb3zdv-7huyWaihAqLLVK7UDn0VjqEtY9r3BCNiVOPigrv4MtH7qdexd/s1600/Mango+mouse.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJAU17YdvB1qFmqQ-FB3aVsITUDOuHjCJq7XYoSULupvRvbt0lrkBKGMv5uPcEqzcHu2nAR-MV8CMMNp9uagIuEb3zdv-7huyWaihAqLLVK7UDn0VjqEtY9r3BCNiVOPigrv4MtH7qdexd/s400/Mango+mouse.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. <i><b>CoffeeBean's Holiday Harvest </b></i>- <i><b>Apple Caramel Ice Blended.</b></i> Well, I am not a fan of Coffee Bean's Ice Blends because they have a strong powdery base which is very distinguishable in all of their non coffee ice blends. So sadly am not a fan of their Christmas Drink! Another thing that's disappointing is that there's no whip included yet as shown on their table ads. :( You have to pay extra for the whip. Priced at around 150php. Coffeebean also have the Planner Promo wherein you get a 2011 planner once you complete 24 stamps. 1 beverage = 1 stamp. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjepUejkLF07jbKnYbP8fTxp7zkOIdI-alhPpQMidgyb9QwM4zFfkWPEad7rlgeADlQiB4H6_5s7ZwVH5b_mnPG9ygTQgTac4m20dikMieF31yjFyjS6mu_tPOZ-tu6U3XqPGo-bDRzSs5j/s1600/coffeebean+Holiday+Harvest.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjepUejkLF07jbKnYbP8fTxp7zkOIdI-alhPpQMidgyb9QwM4zFfkWPEad7rlgeADlQiB4H6_5s7ZwVH5b_mnPG9ygTQgTac4m20dikMieF31yjFyjS6mu_tPOZ-tu6U3XqPGo-bDRzSs5j/s400/coffeebean+Holiday+Harvest.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">3. <i><b>Starbucks Christmas Specials</b></i> - Peppermint Mocha, Toffeenut and Praline Mocha! Probably the most exciting drinks of the season that my friends and I are crazy about, waiting every November for it to be available again. And with every drink you get a sticker and once you complete all the stickers on the Starbucks Christmas Card you get a 2011 Planner. This year you need 18 stickers (9 christmas Special and 9 regular starbucks drink) to get the Planner. 1 beverage = 1 sticker.</div><br />

I had been counting calories for more than a month now but I always give in to my sweet cravings! Cakes is one of the strongest temptations that's nearly impossible for me to resist. New at <i><b>Red Ribbon</b></i> is their <i><b>Choco Fudge</b></i> Cake! It's chocolatey and gooey goodness makes it irresistably and delectably delicious! 3 layers of thick chocofudge in 3 layers of moist chocolate cake! I just love the new Red Ribbon Choco Fudge! So as the other peehgs! <br />

So what sets <i><b>Tutti Frutti</b></i> froyo from other froyo stations? First, they are the only <i><b>froyo </b></i>station that is self service! Yes, you make your own froyo cup! From the dispensing of your flavored froyo, to the fruit toppings and sprinkles and syrups, you have every liberty of putting what you want in your cup. But be careful because an ounce/oz of whatever you put in your cup is priced at 20php.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another thing that's different at <i><b>Tutti Frutti</b></i> is that they have lots of flavors to choose from.Though I find some TF Froyo flavors too sweet, like Cookies & Cream which was my nephew Lenard's pick which he enjoyed very much and coffee which was Shakey's pick ; these flavors are surely a hit for people with a sweet tooth! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

We just love <i><b>Coffee Bean Tea Lattes</b></i> specially Morrocan mint and Passion! What we love more is we get free drink upgrades since we are <a href="http://lingawcebu.blogspot.com/search/label/Enjoy%20Card"><u><i><b>Enjoy Cardholders</b></i></u></a>! ;) Peehgs Nike, Edd and I were invited by Cybill and Kaye of Alist to join them together with fellow Cebu Bloggers Ethe and Jason with photographer Roui Faelnar (who by the way is responsible for the food shots you'll be seeing on this blog entry) for breakfast at Coffeebean The Terraces Ayala. Been a fan of Coffeebean but never really had a chance to order munchers; haven't even noticed that they served salads and pastas. During the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf breakfast we were treated to fresh and healthy servings of pastas, salads and sandwiches. And did I mention desserts? Yum!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

A great way to cool down is to have a sip on a cold Ice blended coffee. And if you are counting calories, no need to worry because you have a choice to lighten up your <i><b>CBTL </b></i>drink! Shown on the picture above is a Double Chocolate Ice blended drink.As for me, I ordered the Lightened up Ultimate Mocha which is made of coffee extract blended with chocolate covered Espresso beans and special Dutch Chocolate! What I like about <i><b>CBTL </b></i>Ice blended drink is that the ice is blended into a consistency that is close to a melted ice cream. So there's a less chance of you chewing on bits of ice. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

But how about their food? </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">My first <i><b>Alpa City Suite </b></i>food experience was great, superb actually but it was because the company's European Chef was there to facilitate the cooking. I came back to taste <i><b>Amo's European Cuisine</b></i> after being sent a gift certificate from the president/owner of Alpa City Suite which was given through foodie and Sunstar editor Sir Jigs Arquiza. I booked and reserved lunch since I have another set of food tasting event scheduled in the evening. The Amo restaurant's waiter was very accommodating and seated me to my table setting the utensils with a big smile on his face. After setting the table he then asked for my order. Since the gift certificate says a set menu can only be ordered, so I settled for the <i><b>European Cuisine Menu B</b></i> which is a 5-course meal consisting of soup of the day, Chicken Cordon Blu, Fish Fillet Foristiere, Brocolli & Cauliflower Casserole and Dessert of the day. (as far as my memory tells me, Set meal B cost is 700php++ for 2 persons).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiijRoERkDnkWQWheKoE_wXkMChzNXWoM2nbTm-OxNvPXh20fchOn6a7CV_wZ9D6pSugfdgsqwEijXabFR8XgcfZx11ridG3fHl_R8tG-KZwIHQ_mlHcwMk11ByMV8XfzUJCrsjkXj3WATz/s1600/a1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiijRoERkDnkWQWheKoE_wXkMChzNXWoM2nbTm-OxNvPXh20fchOn6a7CV_wZ9D6pSugfdgsqwEijXabFR8XgcfZx11ridG3fHl_R8tG-KZwIHQ_mlHcwMk11ByMV8XfzUJCrsjkXj3WATz/s400/a1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> Started the meal with the soup of the day which was <i><b>Pumpkin Soup</b></i>. It was creamy and rich, loved it! </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5PSidI5eMv2vHVCopTPvSF5kJR1iZJ343Pax34JJkVKbxD6c38ywMC_JFXdU5M41mQoxn-y2yGmouGqIoX4RP0Pvquxhj5jM2kGzGSKpqTers521IL8sTplR7P0HNarzBcQL2fu6kEnYA/s1600/a2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5PSidI5eMv2vHVCopTPvSF5kJR1iZJ343Pax34JJkVKbxD6c38ywMC_JFXdU5M41mQoxn-y2yGmouGqIoX4RP0Pvquxhj5jM2kGzGSKpqTers521IL8sTplR7P0HNarzBcQL2fu6kEnYA/s400/a2.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><i><b> Broccoli and Cauliflower Casserole</b></i>. Steamed broccoli and cauliflower then topped with cheese then baked 'til the cheese melted and browned. I enjoyed munching on crunchy brocs and caulis!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRDWUNni0AZxQ8_xjBMNXKzh44PszJ-EcStTnojipHnEogYRWxBPGOW-5MlvxrEpReHIqndEkyuD-USXqWTg4GtXKUKm82LF74koWZCchCEJOBRAv_6E-cfJW9iSQ2KjeodXMY0h9UNGJf/s1600/a3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRDWUNni0AZxQ8_xjBMNXKzh44PszJ-EcStTnojipHnEogYRWxBPGOW-5MlvxrEpReHIqndEkyuD-USXqWTg4GtXKUKm82LF74koWZCchCEJOBRAv_6E-cfJW9iSQ2KjeodXMY0h9UNGJf/s320/a3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Fish Fillet Foristiere</b></i>. This was kinda weird for me. Foristiere which means "of the forest" has deep and strong flavors which includes mushrooms. Don't get me wrong, I love mushrooms but what's weird about it is that the filleted fish tasted like it was deep fried in a bread coat giving it an oily taste in </span>a brown musky sauce. </div><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL9rDS7nXruIhDj35JZSXU90wnNottkttjhE146SOGKSaLWsl5Xe4RsL3M3x6VAqKysJCOynPIukyEGVTfgKckUixZgnptJ2Vg_tTn-qLdekRvdVl_E8M5Co0Ta1WSODj86WVezgkci7Cl/s1600/a4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL9rDS7nXruIhDj35JZSXU90wnNottkttjhE146SOGKSaLWsl5Xe4RsL3M3x6VAqKysJCOynPIukyEGVTfgKckUixZgnptJ2Vg_tTn-qLdekRvdVl_E8M5Co0Ta1WSODj86WVezgkci7Cl/s320/a4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<i><b> Chicken Cordon Blu/Bleu</b></i>. Amo's version was quite hard and dry. Even with the sauce sidings, you can still taste the chicken's dryness. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGRdXTNyVpycYLOdQlA-emsdp3-YXMuExbc7oQvM4vuu8lJRpY4UQGGkMXzUbdIXr6tlB7Cvh1j-4PfgZnCCpNWF5ICkxteHbGMaKti14kHkCy62_lvyrrO6XoPiqtZ2id8541j1achxJD/s1600/a5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGRdXTNyVpycYLOdQlA-emsdp3-YXMuExbc7oQvM4vuu8lJRpY4UQGGkMXzUbdIXr6tlB7Cvh1j-4PfgZnCCpNWF5ICkxteHbGMaKti14kHkCy62_lvyrrO6XoPiqtZ2id8541j1achxJD/s320/a5.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The finale was great! <i><b>Canonigo</b></i> is soft and heavenly in custard sauce . This resembles much like Brazo de Mercedes without the middle yolk part. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I wish I could say that I enjoyed the 2nd lunch I had at Alpa City Suites just like my first dining experience at the hotel, but I didn't, the soup and dessert made me happy though, so it wasn't all bad. The food was fairly priced though for a hotel resto. :) </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

The bistro is located at Parian which is very near the heritage monument of Cebu - just right after you turn right to the Pari-an Fire Station and Police Station. Cafe Elysa was named after the owner's mother, Elysa Aznar. Stephen Aznar talks about the food being classified as Filipino with infused tastes from his travels overseas and abroad. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Classical and simple yet chic - that was my first impression as I entered the wooden door of <i><b>Cafe Elysa.</b></i> With chill out music on the background which sets the contrast between the wooden and classic facade, you'd know it's not gonna be a boring dining experience. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhblKjonYVRuNGUVC2lHKUI9humzak-XH2tBhVQJipGSqmyDV0SSa-euHOCh4h-0vwcL4NdOQNUmqi3yuAuLEeErbxIs9_MG7lnhdXTOwQ25Ho2bCothd_4pRlomgHKMO-PURngIlx_-WoR/s1600/b.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhblKjonYVRuNGUVC2lHKUI9humzak-XH2tBhVQJipGSqmyDV0SSa-euHOCh4h-0vwcL4NdOQNUmqi3yuAuLEeErbxIs9_MG7lnhdXTOwQ25Ho2bCothd_4pRlomgHKMO-PURngIlx_-WoR/s400/b.jpg" width="400" /></a> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">We started with a special Tapa (not on Cafe Elysa Menu) prepared by Chef Skippy Borromeo - Caviar on white cheese and salty crackers. Different Cafe Elysa Tapas or appetizers was then served. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj8ccxUUE-HnXWQTDeiRPQMNTWhxhCrwaAAN9BUJUL3qoR4jTYV4m5MuX2erX9E3XIxKoNTq3l9VxAf2MdlcrAmJsZKe_rzm3wrIHofT-m4KWkqoyjl8pCZcioIAhY1hMlNYp4M6_QUsoS/s1600/a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj8ccxUUE-HnXWQTDeiRPQMNTWhxhCrwaAAN9BUJUL3qoR4jTYV4m5MuX2erX9E3XIxKoNTq3l9VxAf2MdlcrAmJsZKe_rzm3wrIHofT-m4KWkqoyjl8pCZcioIAhY1hMlNYp4M6_QUsoS/s400/a.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><i><b>Chicken Liver Paste with Sauteed Apple and Triple Sec</b></i> priced at 85php. If you like the sandy and strong taste of liver then you'd enjoy this appetizer. It's not like the liver spread we buy in the supermarket which is spicy and sweet which blends and masks the strong taste of the liver. This one tastes like liver. :) <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhblKjonYVRuNGUVC2lHKUI9humzak-XH2tBhVQJipGSqmyDV0SSa-euHOCh4h-0vwcL4NdOQNUmqi3yuAuLEeErbxIs9_MG7lnhdXTOwQ25Ho2bCothd_4pRlomgHKMO-PURngIlx_-WoR/s1600/b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><br />

This one is clearly Thai/Vietnamese inspired as you can taste the glass noodles which is being used in both Thai and Vietnamese spring rolls. Perfectly fried and seasoned! Me likey!</div><br />
<br />

Spicy and semi sweet sauce which complemented well with the Bok Choy. For those who doesnt know what Bok Choy is, it's Chinese cabbage, which is a good source of Vitamin C and A. <br />
<br />
<br />

So why did they call it Popcorn Shrimp when there's no corn ingedient on this tapa? Well, it simply is because when they first cooked the dish, the popping sound like a popcorn popping was heard on the kitchen so they called it "<i><b>Popcorn Shrimp</b></i>!"<br />

I eat raw fish but am not a fan. But what's good about Cafe Elysa's Ceviche is that the vinegar is not too strong but just enough to kill the fish's sea taste. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

New Froyo Places in Cebu!<div style="text-align: justify;">Cebuanos now had been so health conscious! Cebu brands like <i><b>Thirsty</b></i> came up with their new <i><b>Lite Drinks</b></i> with no sugar (substituting sugar with Splenda) and using low fat milk. Not to mention ,desserts with low sugar content have been the talk of the town, with more and more Cebuanos counting calories. ;) And one of the best things that happened to Cebu since late last year was the opening of Frozen Yogurt or FRO YOS stations in Cebu. They have been sprouting like crazy beans, which for me is really good! I just love Fro Yo! But as everyone is expecting, probably next year, the best froyos will be left standing and open! ;) </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">With their soft opening last week of September, <i><b>Yummy Yo</b></i> had been visited by many including Cebuano models and photographers! Owner <i><b>Dan Douglas Ong, </b></i>one of Cebu's best fashion photographer, created the yogurt flavor that is unique from any other yogurt place in Cebu, Frozen yogurt with bits of fruits! Dan had me tried the Strawberry Flavored Frozen Yogurt with Mandarin and grape toppings! It was definitely a treat that's equally good and healthy! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
Yummy Yo is located at Ground Floor the Forum Building Cebu City. Forum Building is the building at the left of Grand Convention if your facing Grand Convention.<br />

<i><b>Teriyaki Boy</b></i> now also serves their own version of the Frozen Yogurt treat! Yogato as they call it, it's probably my 2nd LEAST favorite frozen yogurt in Cebu. Though their toppings are yummy and very Japanesey, the taste of their yogurt is not that yogurty and yogurt tartness is not that distinct and distinguishable. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Quite pricey for the size and the taste. But as they claim their yogurt is 98% fat free. Teriyako Boy is located at the Terraces Ayala Center Cebu.<br />

Wootwoot! The original frozen yogurt in the Philippines has now opened their doors in Cebu! <i><b>Red Mango</b></i> is located at the 3rd level of Ayala Center Cebu just beside Cinema 1. The amazing thing when you get inside Red Mango is the smell of the fresh warm waffle. Been there 3 times already and the same great scent is noticeable. As with their yogurt, it's very similar to <i><b>YOGO</b></i> of <i><b>Coffeecat</b></i> with the same tartness but a bit creamier.<br />

Beetroot has for many years been used as a treatment for cancer in Europe.

Sunstar Editor and foodie Sir <i><b>Jigz Arquiza</b></i> invited me to join him for dinner with RCTV's <i><b>Alexis Yap</b></i> featuring of course <i><b>Chef Ipar Miranda</b></i>'s bestsellers.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It was a scheduled dinner at 7pm but I was 15 minutes late battling off traffic in Mango Avenue on a weekend. It was drizzling and as I parked my car and got off, the guard was already holding an umbrella making sure I don't get wet! Pretty cool huh? hehe. For a few seconds I felt like a prince.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As I stepped in the restaurant, I noticed the interiors and decors are very homey and very hacienda-like, very much similar to the Spanish soaps we used to love during the early 2000's!

After more than a month of operation, lots of Cebuanos had been addicted to <i><b>Yogo Frozen Yogurt</b></i>.Below is a list of what had made me crave for Coffeecat for the past weeks. <br />
<br />
<b>My Personal Coffeecat Top Picks are</b><br />
<br />
1. <i><b>Yogo Frozen Green Tea Yogurt</b></i> with Kiwi, Grapes and Butterfinger! I find Coffeecat's Yogo yogurtness just right - sweetness and sourness just right! Priced at 155php for Medium Size cup with 3 toppings. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEienJEaRwga0H1q0IF-p_cEOfc0eNHUa3XMYtdCh6rLctzxVEYlGh4NdxcumF8bUXf4JiXBDfiC4s3iMbqr4rnqNCy1SEvpbCLvhTscxxMb9PmwmQ5_b3NdkKqvblDK1BGd3CxqhsAxaur0/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEienJEaRwga0H1q0IF-p_cEOfc0eNHUa3XMYtdCh6rLctzxVEYlGh4NdxcumF8bUXf4JiXBDfiC4s3iMbqr4rnqNCy1SEvpbCLvhTscxxMb9PmwmQ5_b3NdkKqvblDK1BGd3CxqhsAxaur0/s320/4.jpg" /></a></div><br />
2. <i><b>Coffeecat's Angry Harry Pasta</b></i>. Priced at 165php, Be cautions for Angry Harry is peppery hot! Angry Harry is made of Arrabiata sauce made with ham, mushroom, garlic, tomatoes, basil and red chili cooked in olive oil. Al dente cooked Spaghetti made the texture of the pasta even greater. If you are not into chilis then you can have the Napoletana Pasta priced at 16ophp.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5KJSwu-cStOys-OFQwjG9eF2casGO7GiwQIFpqWzCvE6ljjiLM7nby2qBzqpCOl9ig-ReW7gvrjm2gZZfO9QDmASiM8g-ADpXrEQPwIKkRaECTtBZtRAIOnyVsTD6tAyyPN25a_GWVKTb/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5KJSwu-cStOys-OFQwjG9eF2casGO7GiwQIFpqWzCvE6ljjiLM7nby2qBzqpCOl9ig-ReW7gvrjm2gZZfO9QDmASiM8g-ADpXrEQPwIKkRaECTtBZtRAIOnyVsTD6tAyyPN25a_GWVKTb/s320/1.jpg" /></a></div><br />
3. <i><b>Coffeecat Chai Tea Avalanche. </b></i>My fave Avalanche so as with Ache(Chai Rico), my lil bro Edd and my adopted lil bro Ryan! haha. You can taste the tea-ness and its not that sweet. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Least Coffeecat Favorite</b>s<br />
1. <i><b>Coffeecat's Pistachio Lamington</b></i>. It looks really yummy, it's name is so intriguing and its affordable! Priced at 55php, I would not suggest you buy this if your not into oily desserts. Pistachio Lamington is layers of chiffon and butter cake covered with butter and then topped all over with artificially colored dehydrated coconut flakes. So oily I must say!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsc09IgkJCpoIvo_cuHV6BMylB3HmrSLQEJ_DR7TfPjWZmZTGcjPkJ1Nukh3dBiIU-olzaHnMGrzW9-ztfqQK7pUV9IRzzP_2s5X28GdiW2-reLRgWQh6knTuXHY-OiW5GCux2-6OyOK3c/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsc09IgkJCpoIvo_cuHV6BMylB3HmrSLQEJ_DR7TfPjWZmZTGcjPkJ1Nukh3dBiIU-olzaHnMGrzW9-ztfqQK7pUV9IRzzP_2s5X28GdiW2-reLRgWQh6knTuXHY-OiW5GCux2-6OyOK3c/s320/3.jpg" /></a></div><br />
2. <i><b>Yogo Waffle .</b></i> Don't get me wrong but I love Waffles.<i><b> </b></i>Yogo waffle,<i><b> </b></i>on the other hand is priced at 80php for the waffle and top it with your size choice Yogo Frozen Yogurt and toppings. In the picture below, that's a medium sized yogurt with 3 toppings. So 155php+80php =235php. I love the yogurt but if you put the yogurt as a topping on the waffle, the serving size of the yogurt seems to be a bit little less than the yogurt on the cups. Inconsistency? I think they should have a fixed price for the Yogo waffle with the standard sized yogurt topping. <br />
<br />
<br />

I would commend the service staff at <i><b>Coffeecat </b></i>for they offer a very personalized way of taking care of their customers.From the guard opening the door for you to the cashier who smiles and greets you well. <i><b>Coffeecat </b></i>is doing good for the first month for many had been coming back to its chic coffee shop, but will they be able to keep month old patrons and customers within the coming months as Starbucks would soon be releasing their new 2011 Planners - meaning Starbucks Patrons would soon be going back and drinking those Starbucks Signature Christmas Specials like Toffenut Latte, Peppermint Mocha and Dark Cherry Mocha. Let's see if the cat still charms Cebuanos on November. ;) </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

If you were born in the 80's then you must've grew up eating at <b><i>Mcjoy</i></b> and Orange Brutus! <b><i>Myjoy</i></b>, or previously known as <b><i>Mcjoy</i></b>, is one of Cebu's fastfood chain that had captured the hearts of many Cebuanos. My <b><i>Myjoy/Mcjoy</i></b> favorites would be Beef Taco, Chicken, Halohalo Special and their new offering <b><i>MyJoy's Hungarian Sausage</i></b>! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Retails at 75php, <b><i>Myjoy's Hungarian Sausage</i></b> is peppery spicy, juicy and meaty, topped with grated cheddar cheese in a bun with special spread.<br />

And how do we distinguish a good tasting yogurt from the bad ones? hmmm. That's very tricky indeed. Personally, I'd consider it good if the tartness is distinguishable and at the right amount and of course how natural the flavor is. According to a source, some yogurt stalls in the city are just using yogurt flavoring to create a tartness so the frozen delight would taste like yogurt. hmmmmm. So we have to be vigilant coz when its just artificial it means it's packed with the same calories as ice cream. I have been tasting some yogurt around the city and I must say some are rather disappointing. :(</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://pigginoutsessions.blogspot.com/search/label/Yogu"><i><b>Yogu</b></i></a> probably is one of the first yogurt shops in Cebu and made Cebuanos a bit curious about the frozen treat. <a href="http://pigginoutsessions.blogspot.com/search/label/Yogu"><i><b>Yogu</b></i></a> is located at #11 Gov. M. Cuenco, Banilad, Cebu City and serves Frozen Yogurt, Yogurt Crepes and Yogurt Smoothies. They opened last qarter of 2009 and sadly their frozen yogurt is not "yogurty" - meaning sourness isn't that distinguishable. On the other hand, they have lots of topping choices and unlimited free syrup, but who would want more sugar on their yogurt right? Would defeat the purpose of less calorie, less fat and guilt free dessert.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

They also have "Hats" available like "Health Nut Hat" which is by the way my fave Hat with different Nut toppings. Also another best seller Hat is "Pinoy Hat" is a best seller with ChocNut and Cashew nut toppings with barquillos. Other Hat Suggestions are "Love Hat" and "Cobbler's Hat." BUt as for me my fave toppings would always be Fresh Kiwi, Grapes, Mango and Mandarin.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

Review? ;) Well The coffee jelly wasn't that good because the jelly was a bit stiff and hard and has no flavor, the blended coffee was smooth and tasty though and the whip is rich and smooth as well. :). As for the Yogo Frozen Yogurt, I love! The Peehgs had consistenly been craving for it! Yogo Frozen Yogurt is creamy yet the sourness is distinguishable just like the yogurt we buy from the groceries. Sourness at the right level and not too sweet. Favorite toppings are grapes, kiwi, butterfinger, cherry and strawberry.

<div style="text-align: justify;">You might be wondering why the owners named the coffee shop "Coffee Cat." Well "Coffee Cat" is a product of an intriguing play of words coupled with a serendipitous association to a cat-sized mammal called civet cat having a close affinity towards coffee berries!<br />
<br />
The Coffee Cat president JC R Tan is just 24 years old so it's no surprise why the shop is chic and exudes a young vibe and aura! Below is a picture of Marie Peluchi Tan (corporate secretary and district manager for Cebu) and JC Tan president and general manager of Coffeecat!<br />
