Elevating Cebu (an island in central Philippines) cuisine to another level is a rather difficult task to do, yet Sialo with its formidable Chef Ron did just that when me and my wife had the wonderful opportunity to dine there last May 18th. It was a weekday and I was pleasantly surprised that we were the only couple who had a dinner reservation that night (could be because everyone's busy with end of the school year activities.)

To post celebrate our anniversary, we wanted a unique dining experience. One that would challenge our palate, tickle our senses and enhance our culinary delight! Sialo did that for us and personally - so love the experience! .. fun, colorful, playful and just out of the usual dining box experience. Food is subjective to each palate, i love many of what was served in their Summer menu.. kudos to the food presentation, local ingredients used and labor of love! presence of passion was truly visible in each plate that came out of the kitchen- for me it was divine! Service was great! I love …
