Duz Grill : a taste like home!

It has been a while since my last blog entry. Well, i had been very busy at work plus just had my excursion to Bangkok and Malaysia 2 weeks ago and just last week i was bestowed by the beauty of Ilocos region.
With a number of my out of town trips, i realized i had to come back and find something new in my hometown. You know how it feels being back from a long trips. Geez! work and work and work - waiting for you.
Good thing one night, i crashed into my friends's apartment. We were looking for something to eat and out of the blue while walking along the bustling asphalt-bricks streets of Apas, Ivy was telling us of this new restaurant within the village. So off we started to ignite Dora's spirit. Where's the map? 

It was quiet difficult for us to find the place as there were no signage on the streets at all. Lucky we were born in the technology era! Thanks to the world wide web i was able to find information. The restaurant Ivy was telling us was Duz Grill. According to Mr. Google, it is located in Apas along 4th street. While information were available online (through several blogs i.e. iluvcebu), we still had difficulty finding the place as online facts were not as detailed as we wanted to have. How even funny it was coz we barged into a wrong house. Haha. 

After asking a couple of 'Kanto Boys', finally we found the place. Eureka! 
That night was supposed to be an ocular visit only. We wanted to check the actual place out of curiosity on the featured blogs online. We would have to make a reservation then if we like the place.
To our surprise, just after we step inside the gate we were fascinated with the place. It was literally a home. That feeling you'd have when you just want to wear your pajamas and have coffee - homey feel indeed. 
This used to be an exclusive family billet but now transformed to a restaurant.

09.29.12. Saturday. 
I had an appointment for my regular diamond peel in one of the derma clinics in Ayala and May2x is going to meet up with her friends at around 4PM while Charity is gonna look for some stuff for her Macau Trip. So we decided to look for a place were we could kill the time and eat  some sweets as well since we just had our lunch. Maitre Chocolatier comes into my mind as i saw this on the blog (forgot the blogger though). Off we go!!! Catching up with friends on a sweet place while reminiscing those sweet moments at work. 

Here are our photos.

The Food ....
Since we just had our lunch, we opted for some light food. We decided to try their best seller Chocolate Fondue. It is a platter of fresh fruits like Apple, Riped Mango, and Melon plus unsweetened mallows and nuts coupled with a hot chocolate dip. For the chocolate dip, you have 2 choices, white or black. Here we go for black chocolates. Chocolate Fondue is perfect for friends who love sweets. It is very affordable at a price of Php 360.00.

Sunburst Chicken || Ayala Terraces Cebu

09.29.2012. Saturday Afternoon. May2x and I had been constantly exchanging tweets as i was winning her to come with me to Ayala Center to try the newest offering of the mall, BonChon. When we arrived at the Terraces of Ayala, we were already so hungry and went off directly to Bonchon. To our dismay, Bonchon is not open to public until Monday :( sigh!

Caught with our disappointment, we were looking for some other resto which offers fried chicken. We passed by at Sunburst and agree to just dine there. We were joined by our common friend - the beautiful Charity. 

Now, let's talk about Sunburst Restaurant. This is located at the 2nd level of Ayala Terraces Cebu. They offer a wide variety of fried chicken and some other Filipino dishes. The food is good yet affordable. We only paid around Php 160.00 each for a single meal with drinks.

Here are our photos
