The Cebu Experience

Last week we went to Cebu over the weekends to attend the 2nd comic convention. It was a 3 days 2 nights weekend getaway for me and my hubby (it was our first trip together outside Luzon). We stayed at Marriott hotel, just to experience the place. It was near Ayala mall. As in literally at the back of the mall so it was really convenient. As soon as we arrived and got into our room we rolled in the bed and feel the mattress. The room was YOU-GET-WHAT-YOU-PAY-FOR room. They have almost everything you need inside the room. Like electrical thermos (if you want coffee), mini refrigerator (off course that's normal), hair blower, lot's of towels, toiletries, BATH TUB, and my most favorite.... TELEVISION. The bed was really big and comfy. The pillows were soft enough that when you lie down you can slowly feel that your head is sinking and your body starts to relax. Layers of  blanket to keep you warm in case you decide to put the room temperature into 10 degrees. There is a bath tub with a hot and cold water that is quite hard to manage, either it gets tooo hot or cold but we were able to manage how to set it eventually. They have a ready bath gel (oh how i love you) in case you want to soak and have bubbles effect like in the movies. Clearly the place was really nice. 

We ate our late lunch at CNT Lechon. Tastes good even without a sauce. And it was also a best seller. I wonder how many pigs do they have. Because they serve lechon everyday and everyday all the get's consumed. Lechon is one of the famous food in visayas area. They want to promote that their lechon tastes good even without the sauce. Ask Rex Navarette about how special the pig is here in the Philippines. LOL

Then for dinner we tried the resto at our hotel. That time they were serving seafood and grilled streak. We decided to try the grilled steak. I ordered their grilled chicken and honey tried the grilled steak. The chicken was literally dry. I know it's grilled and there is a tendency that it will really dry up but this one is really really dry. I guess the chicken is not fresh anymore. Plus the sauce included doesn't taste a thing. I tried asking for other condiments, there is no difference. I cannot believe also how the grilled steak tasted. For a price of 1000+php it should be worth it. Well we were wrong. Nothing special with the steak. We just wasted our money paying that much for the food. The only good thing about that dinner I guess was our waitress. She was really accommodating. She even gave us one free soup. 

We had our breakfast at the hotel. Room service. Their breakfast reminded me of the my Bantayan trip where they serve "farmer's breakfast." The serving was really big. 2 muffins, 2 eggs, a coffee, one juice, hash browns and bacon. It was a heavy meal. 

As much as we wanted to roam around Cebu to maximize our time we just stayed in our room because it was hot outside. I keep on watching TV, while Jonas takes a nap from time to time. I also realized that the rooms aren't sound proof. On our way back to our room we heard a girl moaning. Loud and clear. Sexy time haha!
