Where to Eat in Cebu: Backstory Kitchen

After getting married, my husband and I vowed not to eat out as much in order to not just save money, but also to stay healthier. We also agreed that if we do eat out, we would eat out “responsibly.” This to us subconsciously meant that we would eat out at local eateries/restaurants. It is not difficult to find local eateries/restaurants here in Cebu City. In fact, what is difficult is choosing where to eat. Cebuanos do not just love food, they also love businesses. And the small restaurants/holes-in-the-walls popping in the city are proof to that. Anyway, we chanced upon Backstory Kitchen on our drive to our family weekly lunch.

Where to Stay in Cebu: Wellcome Hotel

I now understand why “staycations” are a thing. It is having the best of vacation plus just staying inside. I used to not get the concept but I love it now especially maybe because stress at work can sometimes take the better of me, and all I want is to do nothing — just lay in bed all day, watching Stylist Inc. (I enjoyed the show so much!). Last November, my husband and I booked a double room at Wellcome Hotel, a small hotel located near Ayala Center, for a “staycation.” I highly recommend the hotel for couples traveling in Cebu City because of its proximity to Ayala Center.
