Ahhhh. Cebu was such a gastronomic heaven! It was my first time to go to Cebu for a vacation, and I came home with lots of new discoveries, and a very very happy tummy! There are so much great restaurants in Cebu, and let me name one in my post now – Kanyoen.
Kanyoen is a Yakiniku place in Cebu that has been well-recommended by locals, and my friends in Manila who have dined in there swear that it’s the best Yakiniku around. With my love for beef and yakiniku, I was more than game to try this food fare during my last night in Cebu, just before D and I were about to fly back to Manila, carrying with me a box of lechon. Haha!
I already forgot what kind of beef we ordered ( there were two kinds ), but the beef was just illegally tender ( mmmmm!!! ) as there was no chewy drag on the beef as you sink your teeth in it. It was an effortless bite as it was really tender, and the flavor was really bursting on my mouth – a mix of the barbequed taste, as well as the very, very rich marinade. Love it! The chicken was also very, very tender and delicious, and the mushrooms really balanced the meal with some “non-meat” add-ons.
By the way, back-tracking on our appetizer, we were served with kimchi. By far, this has absolutely got to be the spiciest and most delicious kimchi that I’ve ever tasted, that I could not stop from getting more, and more of it! I even poured the red sauce from the kimchi to my saucebowl to dip my barbequed meat with, as I am a lover of spicy food.
Okay, I am shivering, and my fingers are shaking as I am typing this, as I am telling you, I have tasted the most heavenly yakiniku ever, in Kanyoen. No match to those in Manila, I swear!
That’s gotta be one reason to go back to Cebu. Love, love Cebu!

I forgot what Yakiniku place we ate at the last time we went to Cebu. We ordered a lot of seafoods back then. I’m not sure if this is the same as that.
