[2025 Cebu Attraction] Travel Guide for Fuente Osmeña Circle (Updated May)

My boyfriend’s first trip to my hometown, the Queen City of the south, Cebu!!! We went there after typhoon Odette and i wanted to make the trip enjoyable even if there were only few places we can visit, considering the damage Odette made to beautiful, Cebu! I was amazed of the people who showed positivity after what happened. Our pungko-pungko experience is one for the books, it’s his first time to eat hanging rice and the famous ginabot ( deep fried pork intestine part ). He enjoyed it and told me this is one of the best moments of our trip. It is in Fuente Osmeña which is like the heart of city, we got there via taxi and it was easy to go there. The place is bigger with more tables to accomodate more customers. This is something that i always do when i go home. A must try if you are into trying local food. #christmasgiveaway #christmasgiveaway #cebu #cebutrip #philippines #queencityofthesouth #amusttrylocalfood #pungkopungko

First of all, I know you’re all wondering what Cooee means and most of all- how to pronounce it. For starters, it means “come over/ come here” in Aussie slang and it’s pronounced as koo-wee, preferably in a high pitched tone. Like I like to say, you learn something new every day! Cooee, which is a passion venture between friends and their love of food and adventures, is home of baked, blended, brewed & juiced goodness. By the slogan alone, you can expect food offerings of desserts & pastries, smoothies/ smoothie bowls, brewed coffee and different juices. Aside from that they also offer all day breakfast variations, tropical poke bowls, healthy breakfast offerings, sandwiches and so much more! I super love how the interiors are super chic and chill. It’s the perfect spot to catch up with friends, take photos and enjoy yummy food. I was really impressed by their selections and how affordable they are and the amount of their servings. #bestislandtraveltowns#beautifulsunsets#naturaloxygenbar#café#romanticrestaurant
