HISTORY TRAIL
Don’t miss Capitol University Museum of
Three Cultures
which
has a collection of artifacts collected by
philanthropist Madame Rosales. Also
make time to visit the Xavier University
Museum
here you’ll find
the only copy of the menu card that was
served during the Malolos Congress —
the first constituent assembly of the First
Philippine Republic.
YOU’LL
NEVER GO
HUNGRY
Steve’s BBQ,
a Cagayanon
chicken
barbecue
place, started
as a small
food cart that
only opened at
night along the
streets of Cogon
Market. Now, they have
their own place at JR Borja
Extension, so you can have their chicken
barbecue and the most sinful chorizo all
day and night. Foodies can also go to
Cogon Market, where they’ll find one of
the best food courts in the city. There’s the
special Humba ni Aling, a great selection
of Persian delicacies and dishes, the
binaki and the special puto maya con
tsokolate. Bring home Pine Ham, one of
the original pineapple hams in the city.
ADVENTURE SEEKERS
Have the best CDO experience at Dahilayan Adventure Park (
com
)
.
It has all the thrill-seeking rides you can think of and the weather is cool all year round.
Also go on a mountain bike adventure or run from the city all the way to the beautiful mountains
of Bukidnon — it’s only a short distance away. At night, head to Limketkai Center (
limketkaicenter.com
)
for upscale bars and restaurants, and Corrales Street and Divisoria for that
vibrant university vibe.
MUST-BUYS
Find high-quality garments at
unbelievably low prices in
Gaisano City Mall
.
Even the
Manila bargain hunters of
Divisoria will have a field
day here. Mags Boutique in
Limketkai Mall, on the other
hand, is an original CDO
concept that’s getting the
fashionistas excited. There’s
also Gazebo Home Store
(
Don
Apolinar Velez St
)
for country-style
furnishings.
PROUDLY CDO
My wife, our childhood friend and I created
Bigby’s
facebook.com/Bigbys)
out of our passion
for food and eating out. It’s our hometown
and we wanted to introduce something
new and exciting to the restaurant scene.
We also saw the potential for offering big
servings at value-for-money prices. It was
a hit from the start, and since then we have
expanded to other major cities in Visayas
and Mindanao.
Bigby’s is proud to be Cagayanon. We
have already infused a Cagayanon delicacy
into the menu called
sinuglaw
—
raw fish
marinated in spiced native vinegar and
mixed with grilled pork belly. A special
spice — the
tabon tabon
—
is added, which
turns the vinegar milky white. Our bestseller,
though, is the Rack A Bye Baby Ribs.
The meat is really tender and the special
barbecue sauce makes it unforgettable.
