Sinulog 2013: Lantaw Floating Native Island Restaurant

The Sinulog festival in Cebu is a renowned celebration that somewhat goes at par with Mardi Gras. I later on learned that Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday, referring to the practice of eating rich, fatty foods before Lent. True enough, this trip turned out to be a literal feast; a total tummy party!

GV and I flew to Cebu last January 19 (Saturday) but since our friends took the first flight out, they already started with the Island Hopping activity. We flagged a cab going to the Lantaw Floating Native Restaurant and settled in to wait for the castaways. Although it is located deep in the heart of Cordova in Lapu Lapu, I was surprised that they were fully booked for lunch service. Luckily, Lloyd already called for a reservation a few weeks back.

The place is really breath taking! You can either dine inside a nipa hut or al fresco where you can embrace the open air space. Looking at the scenic view of the sea and the distant city made me forget how long we waited for our marooned friends.
