looking at the size, shell pictured above is SAANG (which is now slowly becoming a street food in cebu @ 5 pesos per stick or 3 for 20 whole shells that they smash right in front of you) 🙂

I love food trips in Cebu!

I am in Cebu right now for a vacay and I’m telling you, I’ve been eating almost non-stop. LOL.

I love Abuhan, be it Uno, Dos or Tres. I always go there with friends after an all-nighter. Their Pochero and Sizzling Pochero were superb. Golden Cowrie’s Crispy pata and scallops are one of the best. The prices are also very affordable. I haven’t tried Mooon Cafe though. Maybe when I get back to Cebu for the Nth time.

By the way, have you tried the warm brownie cup of La Marea? If you haven’t, please do try it. The best brownie ala mode I’ve ever tasted. Also, drop by AA for fresh seafood and frothy iced tea. One more thing, visit Casa Verde for their baby back ribs. Very affordable for Php188.00. 😉

I’m going to visit BTC this sunday to try MarketMan’s Zubuchon. So excited!

Thanks for sharing your Cebu experiences. More happy travels to you and take care!

nina, bchai, the tip is called the operculum of univalve shells. this is hard and inedible and in the case of this kind of shellfish, serrated and sharp.

lawstude, di uso ang sarsa sa lechon cebu. eat it as it is.

heidi: You have to eat at Golden Cowrie if ever you find yourself in Cebu 😀

Kristine: There’s a lot to love about Cebu!

Lawstude: Sobra! Kahit di kami masyado naka-explore, okay na dahil sa food.

I want to try this baked scallops and it is for sure on my list to do.

Estan: the one we had can be eaten as is. Or maybe it was removed from the shell already?

Bryan Karl: It was good! You have to try it 😀

bchai: The tip is like the tip of a crab claw. It’s pretty hard.

teeyah: I was looking through my photos this evening and my mouth waters whenever I see the photo of the scallops!

Oh…WOW. Talk about LECHON! I haven’t seen the No Reservations episode where Bourdain visits the Philippines. Must. Get. It. Thanks for reminding me. Oh, and I must have some of that…erm…squid-thingee. Why can’t you eat the tip? 😉

nina, the second photo is a shellfish. i’m not sure but it is either of the two: saang, a big univalve shellfish or any of the bigger conus like shell we call aninikad. you have to use safety pins or thin metal spikes to get the meat off the shell. its one of my favorite shellfish 🙂
