Welcome to Dumaguete City everyone. It is basically the capital city of Negros Oriental. The city really attracts both local and foreign tourists because of these reasons. First, it is easily accessible from Cebu City by a fast ferry. Second, it offers a wide variety of sightseeing spots that include dolphin / whale watching, beach resorts and dive spots. Third, it offers locally grown restaurants and food stores like the famous silvanas.
Basically, this is what this blog entry is all about. It is my journey where I capture my food experiences as I discover the beauty of this quaint city. Let's go and enjoy my food diary.

** Photos gotten from the net.
This is actually a good place to eat good foods as well as mingling with the local people. Of course, I have to try the budbod which is sticky rice with chocolate syrup mixed in it and paired with a hot real thick cocoa drink. Sounds so simple but truly hits the spot. Adding a slice of fresh mangoes saves the day too.
