A rainy day in Banilad

I’ve always thought of rain as something to do with relaxation and loosening up some tension right from my busy thinking.

The place

First off, the building is big enough for a hefty number of customers. People outside can see the customers dining inside and that's actually a strategy there for me. When people see people eat their lunch or dinner, there could be a chance for them to try out that certain restaurant. Anyway, the place inside is indeed “spacey”. Interior decorations, perfectly lit, tables and chairs are neatly arranged plus the warm welcome of waiters and waitresses and the Ma'm Emeyn M. Calunsag, the OIC of Sugbahan.

Up one level: www.totallycebu.com

If you’ve been visiting TotallyCebu for a while now, you can always tell, by the look, of our layout that it simply denotes TotallyCebu. The topics may vary but there is still that lingering feeling of solid and partially comprehensive review of certain subjects while some are just tell-all experiences that we had in the past. It’s not entirely egotistical for us to brag (at least to our friends) that we've been in Olango, Waterfront, Alegre, Hilton and dined in some fancy restaurants for sometime in our lives, but it’s all about sharing. Now, I’m being sarcastic. I apologize for that one. Anyway, what can I say, it’s all about Cebu right? continue reading » »
