Aussie Cuisine in Cebu

If you want to experience an outback adventure on the gastronomic landscape of Australia... better visit "Canvas" - a unique restaurant at the upscale and eye catching Terraces Ayala in Cebu.... This restaurant offers a unique blend of fusion cuisine (that means both eastern and western recipe's blended well to form a unique taste of Australia with a touch of local ingredients to suit Filipino taste).....

As the name itself, Canvas is also and ART gallery..... with an ambiance that is ultra chic and modern (check out their regular Art exhibits done by world class Artists)......the price is a little bit upscale but it is reasonable considering you've got a taste of the best gourmet qualities in town...and their technique in plating is awesome!...definitely, everyone will have a pleasurable dining experience...

The food featured in this entry was served at the Opening of Sio Monterra's Art Exhibit a month ago and it was just right, served with refined sauces that is somewhat mouthwatering ...... paired with a good red wine or a lemon lime drink.... and the best part is, they have a long list on their menu that is somehow exciting if your a foodie lover....

This resto-bar seems to be attracting good crowds....and they've got the best Aussie Shiraz I guess!?!... curious enough?... meet their Chef to make your dining truly an awesome experience!

Sweet Intoxication

I was told that in one of the old towns of Cebu.... there was a woman in Carcar who made the best pastillas de leche.....story has it that.... no one can compete her business during her time.... and everybody was crazy of her creation..... T'was a sweet intoxication!

for years .... she was the queen of the south when it comes in making pastillas...as this town is located in the south of Cebu.... Every time she prepares her recipe she kept herself locked in a room wherein no one can see her doing her magic...... her recipes are SECRET... locked like she was having a solitary conclave... LOL!....

Until the time she died she didn't pass on the recipe to her descendants....and pastillas banished through time.... it no longer became the sought after delicacy of the town.... coz no one knows how to make the best......... her secret recipe died with her.....

if Heaven has a kitchen.... would she be allowed to enter and do her magic again?.....
