TOTAL
SHOESTRING
BUDGET:
PHP3,100
(
PHP200) and gorgeous chandelier
earrings (PHP150).
All the foodies in the group should
end the trip on a delicious high note:
at One Claypot House (
68
Don Gil
Garcia St, Capitol Site; tel: +63 32
236 5003,
claypothousecebu
),
a tiny 20sqm
space. First-timers find their way here
by word of mouth, but return for owner
Winston Desierto’s reinterpretations of
comfort food from across South-East
Asia. The Lah-lah-lah Claypot rice
(
PHP150) is an entire meal of chicken,
pork, sausage and salted fish cooked
on a bed of rice in an earthen pot.
Wash it down with the
Milky Bandung
(
PHP50), a Singaporean drink steeped
in the essence of rose petals.
You should have enough left over for
the shared taxi ride and a generous tip
for the blind musicians strumming on
their Cebu-made guitars.
Shoestring budget for
Day 3:
About PHP900
each
Cebu Pacific flies to Cebu from across
the network.
