SuTuKil

We planned something special for lunch on our first day in Cebu because it's our friend, Dianne's birthday. We all thought SuTuKil was some kind of a restaurant in Mactan but we  were so wrong. We should've asked around first before going to Mactan from the city proper of Cebu. It was one hell of a road trip, it took us a couple of hours to arrive. I will never do that to myself ever again! Hah! 

It turned out, SuTuKil is the way the food was cooked, not a place to eat at. We ended up in a place that cooks SuTuKil which is hell of a lot like Dampa here in Manila. 

After our realization, we felt so stupid but anyway we've gotten there safe and sound so we just availed what's in front of us. It's an experience to remember because of all the effort, time, and money we've spent just to be there, it's literally the other side of Cebu!

Sinigang na Hipon or Filipino Shrimp Stew 

Inihaw na Liempo or Grilled Pork Belly 

Buttered Shrimp 

Inihaw na Pusit or Grilled Squid  

Fried Squid or Calamari

The reason why we went there! SuTuKil, abbreviation gotten from Sugba, Tuwa, and Kilawin. The picture shows grilled(su), stewed(tu), and ceviche(kil) lapu-lapu or grouper. ☺

It wasn't the best meal we've eaten but it's fine enough for our grumbling stomachs. The food were under average and I'd choose Dampa here in Manila in a blink of an eye over the place we've eaten but at least we've experienced what we've gone through and we now know better. It wasn't the best birthday lunch for our friend here but I hope our presence filled in with what the food lacked.☺

"It's the company, not the cooking, that makes a meal."

Toodles!☺
