Cebu City
Uncle never really told me what to expect when I got here, except that he wanted me to go find Magellan's Cross.
He told me that somewhere on the cross is an inscription, a clue as it were left over long ago by one of my ancestors and that something was indeed hidden inside the cross; that the cross as it stands today isn't the original.
Ah but enough of that, I'm starving and thirsty. I haven't eaten since this morning and besides, I've heard that Cebu is well known for its delicacies, especially when it comes to dry mangoes, bibingka and my favourite, Lechon Baboy (Pig).
Cebuano Mango - a very sweet & yellow mango when compared to it's Indian cousin, this mango is a national favourite, eaten all over mainly during breakfast.
WARNING! This fruit is to be eaten lightly since over consumption may lead to diabetes.
Not all fruits are healthy when eaten all the time. 
Bibingka-a sponge cake like snack covered in coconut and sometimes melted butter hmm YUMMY!
Lechon Baboy - whole spit roasted pig usually stuffed with herbs & lemon grass, a typical delicacy here all over the Philippine Archipelago. Hmmmm arhrharchrharhhh!
This dish is usually served & eaten at social events, such as parties, weddings, aniversaries, well you get the picture right.
It's a personal favourite but
WARNING! Recent studies have shown that eating too much fatty foods isn't good for you.
Beware not to over consume Spit Roasted Pigs as eating too much may lead to high blood preasures.
Wow so much food, I'm stuffed! I guess Magellan's cross will have to wait till tomorrow because right now I need to rest and catch some nap time, even if it's just for a tiny bit hehehe.
