If you’ve ever been to Cebu or is living in Cebu, you probably heard of this restaurant. They have a couple of branches in major spots of the city so it’s hard to miss. Hukad or Golden Cowrie, for that matter, is known for serving authentic Filipino dishes.

Many, many, many Fridays ago, my former boss, technically she wasn’t my direct boss, and a former co-worker met and greeted at Hukad. The restaurant wasn’t my personal choice because I’m a Chika-an fanatic 😦 Anyways, it’s been ages since I’ve last seen them so it was an opportune time to hobnob with them again. Of course, I brought MSFM with me as a chaperone.

As always, Hukad was full of diners especially that it was a Friday. Be warned, make a reservation before going to Hukad as you’ll be greeted by throngs of hungry people. For any major restaurants, it’s always best to book ahead or else you’ll end up waiting for more than 30 minutes or worse an hour. Now, who’d want that?

Here are the snaps I took inside the resto 🙄

I took particular interest of their “puso-shaped” lights. It’s cute and very authentic 😀

Madam Rosel, moi, and TJ

If you must know, Madam and I share the same birthdate 😀 Perhaps, that’s the only link between us other than our love for traveling 😆 Actually, we live in the same town but whenever I go home it’s a rare chance to bump into each other. TJ, on the other hand, is one of the purest of souls. She’s so kind you’d probably melt. I so love her and treasure her friendship. And to prove my loyalty, I flew all the way to CDO just to attend her big day, her wedding day 😛

Nuf with the nonsense, here are the food courtesy of Madam. Of course, she’s the moneyed one so it’s just rightful that she took the bill, eh? 😉

Crispy Pata

Yum! This so delicious. Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

Shrimp and Garlic???

Eh, I totally forgot the name of this baby 😦

Kare-Kare

This is actually a Filipino version of a stew. It’s made from meat, lots of vegetables, and peanut sauce. It is usually eaten with shrimp paste. Hmmm, another cholesterol-laden food 🙂

Shrimp Sinigang

This is one of my fave soup. It’s particularly sour because of the tamarind. There’s shrimp in there, trust me 😉

Calamansi and Chilis

Favorite “sawsawan” or dip for Pinoys. A must whenever one eats meat or grilled food.

Hungry, yet?
