Cebu: Parilya Lunch Cebuano-Style with an Old BFF

My visits to the Philippines is always about food and I am not complaining =)

It’s just that every time I am visiting, I always gain an extra kilo or two. Gaining weight in your late 40’s is easy as breathing air and losing it is like signing up to a 100-kilometer marathon that will happen in a week’s time.


Old girlfriend Sheena and moi go back to our high school days.


My parents joined us for the lunch.

I have personally lost between 6-8 kilos since my trip to the Philippines (and China and Vietnam as well) last year. The only consolation I have is that I do eat healthy food. I eat huge amounts of vegetables and fruits daily. We cook at home. I bring my own food to work. So it’s more the portions that I am watching now because I love eating. In addition to this, I do some running on the weekends.

Anyway, this post is about one of the lunches I have had in Cebu. I love lunches, especially if they are long and lazy. The best lunches, and dinners as well I have had was always the relaxed summer holidays in the Greek Islands with the Dutchman. But this is another blog post I think.
