Honest to Goodness Bistro Food

CEBU, Philippines - Since its decision to offer bistro food other than its coffee brews, shakes, and delightful cakes and pastries, Cream N Cupz was seriously thinking along the lines of serious food offered with a twistingly atypical flavor.

Contrary to its popular character that it is thick and sticky, Callos here is light and fresh, making it a perfect merienda fare. An Urgello Family recipe for three generations, this stew uses stock that comes from the simmered ox leg. Component ingredients are cubed uniformly so: spicy Bilbao Chorizo, veal shanks, carrots, chick peas, bell pepper, olives rendering an alluringly consistent texture. One is guaranteed to fall in love with the succulently soft, fatty flesh and spongy feel of this popular Filipino-Spanish stew; you would want to use the bread that comes with it to wipe the soup bowl just so no flavor will go to waste.

Another item in their menu is a fried chicken that gets its clear-cut flavor from an incredible sauce. At first glance it appears to be a plain tomato sauce but as soon as one gets a taste of it, the mind would start to wonder what is it that makes this velvety sauce appetizing, rendering a singular twist to the ordinarily fried chicken piece. Of course, its components are Cream N Cupz best-kept secret.

Also offering remarkable sandwiches and crisp salads, Cream N Cupz banner store is located at Gaisano Country Mall, with branches at One Acacia Place along Archbishop Reyes Avenue and Gaisano Grand Mall in Basak, Mactan. They may be reached at 416.2327.
