ei JOrge! You forgot to mention the OTAP and the CASAJOS (died carabao meat). Everytime I come home to Cebu, my officemates never fail to ask for OTAP and CASAJOS for pasalubong..
And the mangoes… One of the most expensive variety of Mangoes sold in Japan for around 5,000 yen a piece is from Cebu.. my boss and japanese co-workers love it and when we are in Cebu for business, we never fail to dropby 7D to buy some..

Cebu is also known for the best lechon. Especially sa lechoncebu.com. Ang sarap ng lechon nila. Napaka crispy pa ng balat.
