  1. Holy smoke mate i was having chest pain just watching you walk so far, and then walking all over the mall. You are in fantastic shape i don't know how you do it. Good ole Ayala wow has that place changed since i was there in 2011, it looks like it has been enlarged. The nice women in the social was so beautiful, she looked like a keeper. The prices for what you bought there seemed very reasonable i was quite surprised, enjoyed the video mate thanks so much.

  2. 13:20 next time i really recommend rib shack… you can see it in this timestamp… they're around the country and its my go to place everyday if one is available. its cheap and really delicious

  3. Try Casa Verde for your cheap but amazing baby back ribs. It's a homegrown Cebu chain and it has been voted a few times as Cebu's Best in the annual Cebu's Best award. Its main and first outlet is still operating today, along Elizabeth Pond/F. Ramos St., a few minutes' walk from Fuente Osmena Circle. It has branches in Ayala Center Cebu, SM City Cebu, SM Seaside City, etc.

  4. You may also visit SM Seaside City which is almost twice as big as Ayala Center Cebu. SM Seaside City is the largest mall outside Metro Manila. It is located in SRP but you can catch a free shuttle ride (by myBus) from Fuente Osmena Circle, near the under-construction tall building next to Robinsons' Cybergate Mall or Chong Hua Hospital. Alternatively, you can catch a regular bus ride (operated by CIBUS) with a bus stop near Fuente Osmena Circle, specifically across Metrobank building.
