Ten years ago, Busay was probably not as busy as it is today because\u00a0now, several restaurants, resorts, and gardens have been popping up, attracting more tourists. We can’t blame them though because the place indeed offers a sweet escapade and a perfect spot for intimate moments.<\/p>\n

Balay sa Busay<\/h3>\n

Balay sa Busay is not a house nor a resort, but it will make you feel at home by dining in this modern restaurant located at the top of Busay mountains. This restaurant provides Filipino cuisine to quench your craving Filipino soul. If you have been away from the Philippines for a long time, I am sure that your food cravings are strong. You missed so many parties and family gatherings. You miss the people\u00a0and the taste of authentic Filipino food.<\/p>\n

If you are the person above, or simply someone who wants to try great Filipino dishes, your place to be is Balay sa Busay. This restaurant is not a regular Filipino restaurant though, because they take time creating excellent recipes that play in your mouth.<\/p>\n

Take for example paella.<\/p>\n

\"Balay

Paella is a Spanish food which was adopted by the Filipinos as our own. Balay sa Busay gave the dish a twist by incorporating\u00a0Dinuguan (pig’s blood) and Pinakbet into the sticky rice. That, for sure, is very Filipino.<\/p>\n

Pochero, a local dish, is also\u00a0upgraded!<\/p>\n

\"Balay

And the simple Binagoongang Baboy is perfected. Balay sa Busay takes a regular Filipino dish and turns it into something that your tastebuds will\u00a0vener forget.<\/p>\n

Even as simple as lehon and tinola are fused together to bring a whole new level of flavor explosion!<\/p>\n

There are still many more must-try dishes prepared by the restaurant for you. Great food, great ambiance and great memories are waiting. If you need a weekend booster, going up to Busay will indeed refresh you and remind you of your roots.<\/p>\n

Location<\/h3>\n

You can find Balay sa Busay at\u00a0Cebu Tops Road in Brgy. Busay. It would be a little hard to commute all the way back to the city coming from tops, but to give you an idea, and also if you are driving, start your adventure in JY Square. For habal-habal commuters, take a habal-habal from JY and tell the driver to take you to Balay sa Busay.<\/p>\n

For those with a personal vehicle, turn to Transcentral Highway then follow the road to Marco Polo, Busay Brgy. Hall, Mountain View Nature’s Park until you reach La Tegola Busay. A little more, turn left to Skyline Garden Columbary until you see the Balay sa Busay signage (beside Delice Recipes).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
