KK Fine Dining

For a taste of a multi-racial cuisine, try KK Fine Dining. Malaysian-Chinese chef/owner Shauming Lo shared that Malaysian cuisine is a mix of Chinese, Indian and Thai cuisines; hence KK Fine Dining (where KK stands for Kota Kinabalu, the capital city of Sabah, a state in Malaysia) offers just that.

Must tries: Pineapple Chicken, a sweet and spicy Thai dish with onions, chilies and torch ginger; Tongporo, the Chinese version of the famous humba; Stewed Fish Head with tofu, Chinese pechay and pork cuts; Native Chicken; Fish Maw (fish bladder) Soup with crab mushroom; and of course, you should not miss out on their fried noodles, curry choices and the staple food – fried rice. They also offer lunch buffets. KK Fine Dining is located at the Al Fresco of Parkmall, Mandaue City. 

SenRyu

Now a Korean-owned Japanese restaurant, SenRyu offers a reinvented ambiance and improved menu. Since its inception way back in 2000, SenRyu has been around giving Cebuanos a taste of the specialties in the Land of the Rising Sun.

If you are on a tight budget, Bento/course meals/ set menu such as Unagi, Sashimi, Gindara, Sukiyaki, Ramen Chahan are available for P400.

TOSH

What is a celebration without spaghetti?

If you crave for pasta and pizza delights, visit The Old Spaghetti House in SM City Cebu, the 27th branch in the country. Your favorite pasta meals come in affordable price range not exceeding P200 such as the Eggplant Parmigiana with Penne Pomodoro, Vietnamese Garlic Spaghetti with Shrimps, Pasta with Pepper-Crusted Fish, Seafood Marinara, and other red, white and specialty sauce-based pasta dishes. Their US Angus Beef Bistro Steak with Parmesan Spaghetti is only P235! Combo meals that include a pasta meal, a slice of pizza and a glass of iced tea are at P80. Their Pizza Taco and Pepperoni & Cheese are commendable, as well.

The interiors will directly transport you to a different world, bringing back old memories because of its antique furniture and collectibles, stained glass lamps and walls made of bricks. TOSH is an ideal setting for an intimate dinner.
