Catching up with friends in Cafe Laguna and Coffee date

Earlier this month, my girlfriends and I planned a "quarterly meeting" 😂.

We don't see each other very often because of work, but when we do, we always make it a priority in our schedule.

This time, we went to Cafe Laguna in Ayala Center Cebu. It is one of the busiest restaurants in this mall because it is spacious and ideal for large groups and families and they serve Filipino cuisine.

We went there for lunch, and we ordered these dishes.

Beef Kare-Kare with Bagoong

A beef stew mixed with vegetables in a peanut butter sauce is how I can describe it. It's one of my favorite Filipino dishes and paired with bagoong (shrimp paste) is the best!

Fish Fillet with Sweet and Sour Sauce

A dish served in a Filipino or Chinese restaurant. It is fried fish that has been cooked in a sweet and sour red sauce with carrots. The combination of sourness and sweetness is delicious

Pork Sinigang

I love Sinigang! It's a delicious sour soup that can be made with pork, beef, shrimp, or any seafood of your choice, but my personal favorite is Pork Sinigang. So whenever I ate out with a group, I always ordered this dish. Also, I keep asking Hive account@explorewithsasha to prepare this dish for me

And, of course, there was rice. We ordered 6 cups to share.

We had a great time at this restaurant. They serve large portions, so one dish serves 3-4 people. It's an excellent choice if you're planning a lunch or dinner with family or a group date with friends and colleagues. In Cebu, there are several branches to choose from. I'm not sure if they have them in other cities in the Philippines.

We then went to get coffee and spent the afternoon catching up.

It's always nice to catch up with old friends. Until next time, fellas.
