If you plan to travel outside the Philippines, this is a helpful tip for you. I discovered this painfully after a recent 17-day business trip last March. I was charged expensive fees for data services even when I was only using the internet when my phone was connected to the hotel's wifi.
Although the restaurant has been around in Cebu in years, I have just recently discovered this place. I fell in love instantly. I have not been to Japan yet (hopefully, soon) so I could not vouch for its authenticity based on taste. I can say, though, that of the times I have been there, my companions and I are the only non-Japanese customers.
My favorites are:
Here's the menu:
We tried all their Signature Steak. Steak is best served in medium rare. If you are like me who order based on picture, I was dismayed not to find any in the menu. I checked Foursquare and there aren't that many tips that would help me order.
I've heard of unlimited chicken wings by some restaurants but the reviews weren't that great. This, by far, is the best. It's a much cheaper version too.
Paku (translated as wings in English) offers Php199.00 for unlimited chicken wings and unlimited rice. The meal is best enjoyed in a group. If it is your first time to try, I suggest that you take all 8 flavors. You can ask for the flavors of your choice later. Make sure to order enough, though. Leftover chicken costs Php20.00 per piece.
My favorite flavors are teriyaki and lemon pepper.
One of the applications that has proven to be useful to me is the Audionote app. I'm very happy of this purchase. I use it when I attend conferences or meetings. When I attend meetings, I just leave it recording. It allows me to freely listen without worrying of missing any information. It frees me from writing while listening. It also frees me from overthinking too much. What I like about it most is the fact that I can upload my notes to Dropbox or my iCloud Drive. That way, I am not limited with my iPad device's memory.
I've finished reading a book by James Whittaker entitled, How Google Tests Software.
For a quick bite of Mexican food, I recommend El Taquito. What I like about the place is that it's not too fancy so I don't have to dress fancy to eat. The place satisfied my craving for burritos, tacos, and quesadilla. It's affordable too.
