Nomnoming Johnny's Fish and Chips


Me, together with 2 friends who I work with were Nomnoming Johnny's Fish and Chips which is located in Parkmall, number one Mall in Cebu.

If you still can't find the place here are some specific location guidelines: Johnny's Fish and Chips, Parkmall’s al fresco area (ALF 3 - 8 Parkmall), 168 Ouano Avenue North Reclamation Area, Mandaue City, Cebu, Philippines (across Cebu International Convention Center - CICC).

Whenever I go to Restaurants I always take a pic of their light fixtures :)

The mall's working hours are as follows: Mall Hours: 10am to 9pm; Supermarket Hours: 9am to 10pm and Al Fresco Dining Hours: varies between 10am to 2am. So basically, you can go there to visit and buy something in the mall, shop some supplies in the supermarket and go to the Al Fresco area to choose among Parkmall's different choices of restaurants. I would most deinitely recommend you to go with Johnny's Fish and Chips since it gives off a familiar home like feel, it is best to dine their with one's family!

Super Spicy!! mmmm

There is a variety of food choices to choose from in Johnny's Fish and Chips. We basically chose to eat spicy chicken wings (Whoooo hoottt!!) and a really awesome beef steak (In which was really really soft, it almost melted in our mouths as if it was not meat) with garlic rice. For our beverage, we had mango shake, bottomless Iced tea and a Coke in can.

Mouth watering beef steak

The area is really comfortable to the point that we chatted like we were in our own homes and failed to realize that we almost chatted for an hour without realizing it. If you wish to try out Johnny's Fish and Chips, then i suggest you try it in Parkmall, number one Mall in Cebu!

Mang Inasal after Cleaning Posters


Our route during our Colon After Elections Clean up Event basically started at the Parian Area, near the Parian monument then towards near Zulueta and then to colon. Although we were unable to clean the whole Colon street, it was still good to have cleaned up a good number of political candidates' posters in the area. Along the colon street stands the 138 mall where in we got in to chill from the heat of the sun and to fill our hungry stomachs. Inside we opted to satisfy ourselves with Mang Inasal!

Da Vinci Mother's Day Treat



We treated our Mom to Da Vinci Mother's Day Treat! We ordered the "Another Da Vinci Masterpiece." In the Philippines, mothers, who are referred to as the “ilaw ng tahanan” (light of the home), continue to have significant influence and share their wisdom even when their children have become adults.


And so as we mark the special day for mothers this year, let us give them a break from their daily household chores. We can give them a bouquet of their favorite flowers, treat them to a good movie, or gift them with a nice book or spend time and treat them to Pizza!

Sweet Attack at Dessert Factory


Ayala Center-Cebu Terraces is the place be if you are looking for classy and sophisticated setting for dining. So after a company Sportsfest we needed something to rejuvenate our senses, this led us to Dessert Factory!

Dessert Factory serve more than just those delicious dessert plates but we wanted dessert so the non-dessert palate will have to wait when I go back there. Dessert Factory has a selection of meals that you can choose from, like the Tennessee Pork Barbecue and Steamed Fish Fillet. Sound Tasty? I think so too but I was still full we opted for the cakes for now. Once seated, you receive a menu which contains a surprising number of dishes to choose from.


Ambiance plays a role in one's meal I think and despite other people chit chatting while eating, the place gives off a relaxing and homey environment. The place is modern and comfortable as well with its couches and plush cushioned chairs which is unique with Dessert Factory.

Choco Extreme

Brownie Experience

Brownie Alamode

Eskimo Alamode

Each of us spent in the range of Php75.00 to Php90.00 for dessert excluding beverages. All this, only at Dessert Factory


Salamat sa mga Kuyug nga gikuraw pud: Tier2-Nelson? TL-Lois & Sup-Cherry!!
