After eating lechon, the next logical thing to do is find some sweets. When in The Terraces, Ayala Center Cebu, an option could be Maitre Chocolatier. It's not an exclusive Cebu restaurant though as it has a branch in Makati. 

Maitre Chocolatier Ayala Center Cebu branch

It was quite late already so we were left with a few options available. Their cakes are quite pricey at almost Php 200 per slice. 

Inside :)

So what to choose?

• Tiramisu- presentation is nice. It's not so sweet and not too fantastic for its price. It wouldn't carve a "bring me back here again" or "I shall hunt this in Manila" feeling.

Tiramisu

• White Chocolate with Mango- cute presentation too. Same feeling though of course, I love the mango on top.

The mango pulled it, really

Not the best place for a sweet cravings. So now the question is, what's a good option? Any help?

Rico's Lechon is claiming to be Cebu's best, directly competing with the famous Zubuchon. Alright then, it's a new kid in the town of Cebu so when we visited there again, second time this 2015, rushed to taste their offering. Glad there's one near Ayala Center Cebu. 

Trying to get a picture but it's too dark outside.

It's us, don't be afraid. Haha

Lechon is an order for sure but choosing between regular and spicy was a debate. They said spicy lechon is so good but not wanting that, ended up for the regular. One half (1/2) kilo Regular lechon is at Php 310. Their lechon was good, not so salty alright but I somehow missed the aroma and flavor of Zubuchon's, making the latter still better for me. Although admittedly, the result could be otherwise if we chose the spicy. Anyhow, Cebu is just a few hours plane ride from Manila, hahaha. :p

Regular lechon

Aside from lechon (though I don't have photos already), ordered also:

• Monggo (good for 3-4 persons) at Php 180. Now this one's a good deal. Nothing so special but good enough for a chilly night.
• Chicken Skin at Php 135. Wow, chicken skin is almost as expensive as monggo but then again, that's chicken skiiiiiin and you can never go wrong with that (assuming we don't count the bad cholesterol, of course)

It was a challenge well fought, Rico's. That's evident with the many people lining up for dinner in their full house Kamputhaw branch.

During our recent trip in the Queen City of the South, we accidentally found Cafe Noriter's Cebu version: SODA Cafe.

It was called SODA, I just can deduce because they offer various concoctions of drinks with this. But that's not the only thing interesting about this place. Just like in Cafe Noriter, their seats were interestingly cute and stuffed toys were everywhere. In fact, a humongous pink bear was at the entrance to welcome. 

My sissy with the humongous bear I was talking about :)

My friend, Cha, with some of the toys

Tried their Oreo Pizza at about Php 100. On the crust were bits of Oreo with drizzle of syrup. Sweet!

Sweet pizza

For drinks, tried their Mixed Berries Soda at Php 140. It's amusingly refreshing, too! Though I can only recognize strawberries. Good choice for us, anyhow.

In Mason Jar

So for those just exploring Cebu, pass by Soda Cafe and enjoy the playground feel.
