| - My friend wanted to eat palabok and we didn't know where to go. DT's palabok was watery so we were not gong to go there. So I quickly yelped and chose Café de Cebu.
The restaurant was very clean, the guy that worked there was super friendly and helpful. There is also a check-in yelp offer...a free egg roll! Both my friend and I got the lunch special for $6.50. She got the bbq pork and I got the chicken skin. They were skewered. Our lunch came with an eggroll and a bowl of soup and rice. I don't discriminate again any kinds of egg rolls (Vietnamese, Chinese, Lumpia), but this eggroll is the most different I have tasted yet. Instead of the typical eggroll wrapper, it was rolled and dipped in flour before frying? I am not sure, but it was too strange for my taste. I passed up on free egg roll offer, and knowing me, I don't normally pass up on anything free.
I liked my friend's bbq pork. My chicken skin, though it was crispy on the outside, it was soggy where it was skewered. The sauce on it was not for me.
I ordered a halo halo to go. After I placed my order, I saw a picture of it on the tv, there was chocolate sauce on it....I quickly stopped the friendly guy and confirmed that they put choco sauce on it. I requested to hold the choco sauce. Wow...I didn't know Cebuan Halo Halo is different than that of the other Filipino restaurant that I have gone to. This halo halo doesn't have beans either. There was a lot of jelly and macapuno. I think I like the typical halo halo more.
For now, I will rate it A-OK. But, I am planning to give it another try. Service was really good.
