Nino & Khisty Dried Fish Stall in Taboan Market, Cebu City

Wow Danggit! The famous dried fish is Danggit. A small and thin fish available as salted or unsalted. I prefer both as both salted and unsalted taste good to me. Taboan Market is a place in Cebu where you can buy sweet delicacies and known in our country as public dried fish haven as pasalubong. I bought dried danggit for only Php300.00 You'll get a lot of dried fish when you buy 1 kilo. Taste good specially when you dipped it to a vinegar with garlic and have a best fried rice - a very tasty breakfast. Aside from dried fish, other Cebu's delicacies can be found there like dried mangoes, otap, chicharon car-car and other delicacies.             


Pacific Mall In Mandaue Cebu City

I had quick dinner at Pacific Mall Food Court to try their lechon cebu. The area clean and a lot of people are there to have their meals or merienda as well. I watched singing contest at their Activity Center located at 3rd level of the mall. The Mall is easy accessible by multicab and taxi which bound to the city center of Cebu.


Roaming Around at SM City Cebu

SM Cebu is the 11th biggest mall in the Philippines. After roaming around the city proper, I immediately take a jeepney bound to SM City Cebu.It's my second time to visit the mall but for now I travel solo backpacking. It has a land area of 11.8 hectares and a gross floor area of 268,611, becoming part of the world's 15 largest shopping mall.


Cebu City Hall and Santo Niño Church

Infront of Magellan's Cross you can see the old Cebu City Hall and in the other side is Santo Niño Church where people go every Saturday and Sunday. Which also still retains the original stone texture and natural color. The statue is permanently housed under bulletproof glass at the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño in Cebu City. Its feast is celebrated every third Sunday of January.Cebu City is a highly-urbanized city, which makes itself independent from Cebu province.


The Historical Magellan's Cross in Cebu City

My second day in Cebu was a very busy day for me where I roam around mandaue and city proper. One of the most visited place in Cebu is The Magellan's Cross where people got some pictures for souvenir when coming to Cebu which is also known to be "The Queen City of the South" . Old Magellan’s Cross is housed in a small 8 sided polygon chapel next to Basilica Minore del Santo Niño across Cebu City Hall along Magallanes St.  The street was named after the Portuguese explorer Magellan. You can also witness several women selling candles for P 1.00 and P 5.00 each. These women would ask for your name/s, dance in front of Magellan’s cross as they say a prayer for protection and security. This has already been a tradition along with the lighting of candle.
