A Yummy Day Delight At Days Hotel

CEBU, Philippines - When dining out, we do not only consider the kind of restaurant, the ambience, service and price but also the actual ordering of the food.

Would it be fish, chicken or pork for your soup? Or the Batangas or Bicol adobo? Will it be leche flan or buko salad for your dessert? This is quite a lot to think of for someone who just wants to eat and feed his grumbling stomach.

This is why Days Hotel has come up with a unique way to satisfy what you are craving for.

Instead of thinking so hard on whether to have fish, chicken or beef, why not have all three in just one serving? Or why not have five kinds of desserts in one plate? You can have all the food you want with Days Hotels’ “18 pillars of Filipino Cuisine.”

Originally thought of by the hotel’s president James Concepcion, Days Hotel in Mactan Cebu, recently introduced this new kind of menu offering 18 different dishes, three to five of these in just one serving, at very affordable prices.

Alejandro Jun Perocillo, the resident manager of Days Hotel Mactan-Cebu shared how unique the 18 pillars is and how they are aiming to gather more customers, not only their in-house guests but also those who would just want to try something new.

Starting of with their Pampanga Trio, you can already have tokwa’t baboy, burong mangga, kamias at papaya and gourmet dulong in Virgin Coconut Oil for just less than P200 and the Paksiw Trio that includes the paksiw baboy, paksiw isda and paksiw manok for just the same price.

The all-time favorite Sinigang could also be tasted in three different varieties in one order namely the sinigang Tagaytay, seafood sinigang and sinigang Tagalog or if you’re in to nilaga, they have this in trio, too - the nilagang isda, beef nilaga and pork ribs nilaga. Filipino favorite kare-kare is also served with beef, seafood and chicken with the Kare-Kare trio.

Party favorites like pansit and lumpia are also available in the “three servings in one” with the spicy canton, bihon guisado and crispy fried pansit for the Pansit trio and the ubod, chinese and chicken lettuce for the Lumpia Trio. Sisig is also cooked as original pork with egg, seafood made with gingery taba ng talangka gravy and as vegetable with eggplant, singkamas, carrots, onion and tokwa.

The hotel also offers four-in-one dishes called “Cuadro” like the Ensalada Cuadro that includes the ensaladang talong, pipino salad, togue salad and labanos salad and their Adobo Cuadro which has the Adobo Illustrado, Adobo Chinoy, Adobo Batangas and Adobo Bicol.

But if four dishes are just too much, you can have their duo dishes like the Kaldereta Duo, Laing Duo and Pinakbet Duo.

The desserts also come in threes with the Pampalamig Trio Express that includes guinumis, sago’t gulaman, and buko lychee and the Panghimagas Quinto that includes leche flan, ube halaya, minatamis na saba, buko pandan and bukayo.

“This is definitely different from what other hotels and restaurants have been offering and this is not only to prove that Days Hotel is open for everyone but this is our promotion of the unique and delicious Filipino dishes,” Perocillo said.

Aside from the exceptional menu, the hotel is also pleased with their clients’ patronage of their products like homemade jams and bread cakes which has become a favorite of foreign and local visitors alike.

With all these food offered at very reasonable prices, your day will surely be complete at Days Hotel! —AJ de la Torre
