mga sis based in Cebu, I'm doing a draft of my itinerary, sang CNT ang malapit sa  Quest? Gusto ko sana dayuhin yung branch nila where they actually cook the lechon para fresh. 4Pm kasi flight namin ng Sunday and balak ko dumaan sa CNT sa umaga. If sa airport or sa mall kasi baka hindi naman maganda ang quality. Nabasa ko yung V. Rama branch is a restaurant on its own, pero parang ang layo ata from Quest? TIA!

^ The branch you mentioned is a little bit beyond V. RAMA Ave. It's already within the Guadalupe area, but it's quite easy to spot. Let me ask my friend on how to go about getting the freshest lechon for you. You plan on bringing back CnT to Manila, right? Lemme ask C or T and I will let you know!

Ay thank you sis! 2kgs lang naman iuuwi ko. Parang malayo na kasi sya and balak ko sa last day bumili talaga. Kung sa Ayala mall OK lang sana pero sana fresh pa

^ayan sis family friend nga pala nila sis insanelypurpleprincess owner ng CnT. pwede sigurong pa-reserve ka na lang then pick-up mo sa ayala mall

[insanelypurpleprincess]

^^ Yikes! I don't have an update yet since I went to bed na last night and this morning, it was crazy at work kasi ang daming may sakit. Will get back to you as soon as I have the info!!!

Ugh! Our flight to Cebu is bumped early, I can't move it to a later flight kasi 4pm na yung next (airasia). our flight is 7:15 and dadating ng cebu ng 8:40, di kami aabot panigurado sa 9:20 na alis eh, masyadong hapit, right?

Would you recommend upon disembarking sa airport na magtambay someplace else to rest/have food before heading to Pier 1? 11AM pa kasi alis ng Oceanjet to Tagbilaran.

^hindi abot sis. don na lang kayo sa zubuchon, nasa hotel lobby ng island stay mactan. sakay lang kayo ng yellow multicab sa airport

^ Hey sis! Spoke to my friend na and this is what I was told.
If you buy in Ayala, it's going to be Php610/kilo. They can put in a box the 2kg that you plan to purchase.
Now, if you will be at Quest Hotel, you have two options - can go find their Panagdait Branch, which is in a complex called GnD, short cab ride from Quest. Or you can also go to that outlet right across SM City Cebu.
Here are the rates for the branches mentioned & their store hours:

Panagdait & SM (across the mall) - Php480/kilo - On Sundays, they open as early as 6.00am, so you can go early and have something reserved due for pick up at a later time. Hope this helps!

^ If you arrive at 8.40am sis, you can perhaps try to check out places that may be available to stay in at for a meal. You can either go to fast food places in the North Reclamation Area or you can also try to spend about an hour in IT Park, just for a decent meal since a ton of the restaurants there are open 24 hours. After wherever you decide to go to, you can now head to the Pier for the Ocean Jet Trip.

Thanks! i do not remember the north reclamation area thoug, is it along the way pag magtaxi kami to oceanjet? i think IT park is out of the way na kasi.

[insanelypurpleprincess]

^ The pier is within the North Reclamation Area lang sis.

[daveigh]

Got it, thanks so much! I am excited na kahit 3 months to go pa.

[insanelypurpleprincess]

^ Okay lang yan sis. I am sure you'll have a blast in Cebu and Bohol. Let me know when you're here na. Baka we can meet up or something --- suppose I am around by then!

Hi sis,

Any feedback on Costabella Tropical Beach Hotel in Mactan, okey ba dito medyo mura kasi compare sa iba so I might consider this.

[insanelypurpleprincess]

^ Pretty_aye, haven't been yet and not quite familiar with the name of the resort. Just the same, let me ask people from work later. Will post feedback, should there be any. Thanks!!!

Hi sis! I've stayed here twice na ata for company events. We like it kasi nice ang rooms and pool. Masarap din ang food. As with most Mactan resorts, maliit lang ang beach. We actually don't swim sa beach when in Mactan kaya important na maganda ang pool and facilities.

[insanelypurpleprincess]

^ Now that you mentioned it chubbycheeks, I am now considering checking it out myself. Thanks for sharing!!!

[chubbycheeks]

^yw! Most people overlook it coz it's not as hyped as maribago or crimson or shang. Well, actually, di naman sila magka-level but close enough hehe. Value for money sya.

[insanelypurpleprincess]

^ Yeah! I checked out the website and it looks awesome. Pretty cost efficient, too!!!

[insanelypurpleprincess]

Yes, you can do it within the 4 days that you're here @tinapay
