Casa Verde

Photo from Casa Verde's Website
It was my then boardmate in Iligan and roommate in Cebu, Engr. Jennifer Felisilda who first introduced me to Casa Verde.  She always bragged about their baby back ribs and by the time I tried one, I couldn't ever forget how divine it tasted!  It was superb to the max!  The tenderness of the meat melts in your mouth, the sweetness of the sauce lingers in your lips, and the hint of spices plays a myriad of flavors in your tongue.  After that night in Ramos, Cebu City, I officially declared baby back ribs as my favorite dish in the world!


Casa Verde is a Spanish term for "green house", the color of the ancestral family house in Ramos which became the very first Casa Verde restaurant in 2002. (source:  Casa Verde's official website) For more than a decade, the humble restaurant grew to become an American-style casual dining chain of restaurants.  And I am elated I have had visited their Ayala branch in Cebu for a quick lunch the day after Cherry Ann's birthday last week.  With that, I was overjoyed to try the new additions to their menu aside from their house specialty, baby back ribs.

So for serious eats, visit Casa Verde in any of their branches listed here in Cebu and also in Manila.  Oh, how I wish there'll be Casa Verde in Ozamiz too so I don't have to wait years to have a taste of their back ribs again.

The After-Party of #yrech32

And the party didn't end yet!  The morning after Doc Cherry Ann's birthday, we had an early morning dip at Mövenpick's luxurious swimming pool with the radiant sunrise.



Then off we went to another resort nearby, the Shangri-La Mactan Resort and Spa!


For further party-party, we had the best spareribs in Cebu for lunch at Casa Verde.


To digest the big lunch, we had tea at Cafe Noriter while also having fun like little kids at playtime.


And to cap it all, Ruth treated us an early dinner at Bucket Shrimps!


There you have our road trip, food trip, and laugh trip!  Oh, how I wish it will always be this way.  Far from worries, far from responsibilities, far from pressure.  A get-away like this with fun-seeking friends are to be treasured forever.  Once a while, we need a breather and sweet escape from everyday's reality.  So thank you so much to my girl friends, Cherry Ann, Ruth, Quennie, and Liza for a very memorable vacay!  Hope we can do this again sometime soon! :)  

And to you my dear blog readers, thank you for the sweet comments and follows!  Because of you, I'm inspired to write and share with you "the happenings" of my sometimes-up-and-sometimes-down life.  These three blog entries are only a summary of my recent trip.  This ain't over yet for I will still be blogging more of our #yrech32 experience!  So stay tuned for reviews and suggestions of each place we had checked-in. :)
