Sugba and Tula Anyone?

This summer season, Cebu becomes a destination for everyone looking for BSS – beach, sun and sand! The island boasts of its white beaches either up north going to Santa Fe in Bantayan or going south to Moalboal and nearby Badian Island.

Being a native, coming home for the summer means food trekking as well.

Cebu started the “su-tu-kil” rave and everyone now knows what “sugba, tula, kilaw” means! If you still don’t then you must really visit Cebu and ask to be taken to the nearest SUTUKIL place. Anyways, my dad is a fan of these places and he and my mom used to frequent this place near SM City Cebu known as A1. He told me the “tula” is the greatest (fresh fish all the time) and they have various seafood “sugba” that are just charcoal hot!

We recently visited with my dad and husband in tow (who needs to watch over his cholesterol) the said resto. Of course its al fresco! Meaning its carenderia style with no aircon and monobloc chairs and tables! The resto was packed with people all ordering seafood dishes ... the sugba and the tula lived up to expectation! And the best part is, it’s value for money! For the three of us ordering sugba fish, tula fish, seaweed salad, rice and drinks (minus dessert), all under P300.00 or USD6.40 ONLY! What a lunch and you still have extra money for dessert.

I just love Cebu and the cheap local places where one can eat and enjoy! If you’re looking for this place, its outside the SM City Mall, walking distance from the CNT Lechon place, there’s parking and you won’t miss it because of the grill that’s outside the resto!

Until the next chow!
