This is what they call Chocolate Torte Cake. Most of the Chocolate addict will be more satisfied by this European Style cake with a creamy chocolate espresso that provides the filling for two layers of impossibly moist chocolate cake topped with coffee ice cream sandwich and dark chocolate crumble cookies. You can also add some dark chocolate shavings that make the cake as beautiful as it is delicious.

Hanging rice or puso is a food originating from Cebu, Philippines. The food is made of rice wrapped in coco leaves and is then served by cutting half the food. Traditionally this is best when eaten using barehands and served with roasted pig and Philippines spring roll (ngoyong). One of the advantages of eating puso is its availability almost every corner in the city where it saves time rather than cooking.

I grew up eating dimsum starting from a very young age and would like to share to you some of my all time favorites. Literally, dimsum means a light Chinese meal coupled with tea. But as irresistible as it may seem to be I always end up eating a heavy dimsum meal. Here are some of my all time favorite menu.

Pork Steamed Rice

Pork steamed rice is normally served in a bowl mixed with classical oriental Chinese sauce with pork cubes, shrimp, and peas.

Shaomai

Similar with meat balls, but is a steamed ones. This is wrap around a small thin flour wrapper. This comes in many different kinds: mushroom shaomai (topped with mushroom), quail egg shaomai (topped with quail egg), or just simply a plain shaomai.

Shrimp Dumpling

Shrimp dumpling is a chopped up shrimp covered with a thin starch wrapper. This specially tasted good when eaten with ginger or chili sauce.

Spring Roll

Is a deep fried roll mixed with meat, carrots, mushrooms, and shrimps all under a thin crispy wrapper.

Stuff Taro

Made of deep fried mashed taro stuffed within are pork, mushrooms, shrimps, and other vegetables.

Empress Roll

Similar with shaomai, except empress roll is wrapped by a cabbage layer instead of a thin flour wrapper.

Now, if you are lingering for more of this menus Dimsum Break, Ding Qua Qua, Harbour City, Cafe Marco, Cafe Shang are offering a wide array of these Chinese dish.

Lechon or roasted pig is what Cebu is known for. The lechon is a must have food for any special occassions including birthdays, Chritstmas, weddings, as well as celebrations of fiest in small towns in every locality in the Philippines.

Lechon is normally eaten together with hanging rice (puso) which makes tourist really get a feel on the true Filipino culture using bare hands. This is something they should not miss when visiting Cebu. Although the food is available all over the Philippines, Cebu's lechon is exceptional as there is no need for a sauce as they say!
