"One of the best places for fried chicken and many more in downtown Cebu with several branches. You have lots of options in terms of chicken cuts but i usually have the chicken thighs. The sauce/gravy is also good. Other than chicken, they have pork chop, tororot, and several fried food best with puso."

"When you want fried foods "on the go" at very affordable prices, this is the place to go. Pros: - lots of selections from fried foods like chicken, ngohiong (chinese style lumpia), dynamite (chili and cheese wrapped in lumpia wrapper then fried), achara (pickled young papaya), to fresh lumpia and other delicacies and desserts. - the affordable prices catered esp to students - drinks limited to soft drinks and locally made calamansi juices, or coconut juices - the free gravy, and other sauces - their 'puso' or hanging rice is way bigger compared to other eateries Cons: - not hygienic enough - people don't practice safe social distancing - if you're after "healthy" food, look somewhere else ...otherwise knock yourself out"
