BUDDIES

Our spontaneity led us to Escario St. It just so happened we've never been to much of the establishments here, so we were excited!

We had dinner at Buddies. The restaurant's pretty obvious along the street and it's famous for its burger challenge that you just can't ignore it.

Since this is a burger place, my 3 colleagues ordered burgers while I had mild spicy sizzling squid. We never took the challenge of eating a huge burger in 5 minutes coz aside from the fact that the burger is too big for any of us, we were there to relax and not to hurry things up. Maybe next time.

So, while waiting, I took some pics.

Our food finally arrived. And I tell you, I'm not joking, it was one of the best-tasting sizzling squid I've ever tried. The mild spices, the flavor, it was really perfect.

THE SQUID!!!

It was the kind of food I really think of whenever I'm hungry or the food that whenever I think of, makes me hungry.

The burger was also good. We tried their cheeseburger and loved it.

We even thought Buddies was just a franchise of an international chain but I found out we were wrong. But indeed made me proud.

When I happened to talk with the store's manager, who is my best buddy's sister. She shared that Buddies is a product of 3 friends' travel experiences. They've made an idea out of the places they've been to abroad.

It's either they've been to really great places or they're just so brilliant, or both. But I do hope Buddies would not stop here in Cebu.

Looking forward to my next sizzling squid encounter! :)
