Villalon Drive, Capitol Site

I went to a friend’s house located in Capitol Site to borrow a camera lens.

Going to Capitol Site, one has to take OPRRA bound jeepney, or simply when you see a number 15 , that’s going to OPRRA.

Lola Eats in Guadalupe

I ate past lunch, probably around 1:30pm. I decided to try this carenderia or could be categorized as low end restaurant.

The dining area. I like it, not too cramp, not too spacious either. The chairs are of good quality.

This is just below 60 pesos. Two barbecues, one banana, one bottled water and one cup rice. The soup is free.

What’s my  verdict? I only ate barbecue, but the taste was just okay.

Thirsty? Juices and Shakes

This Thirsty? cart is located inside Ayala Center Cebu, in the second level, me thinks.

Me and my friends used to plan of getting a Thirsty? franchise more than 10 years ago. The last time we heard, the franchise fee was about 150,000. The original owner of the business also was the Osmeñas, forgot which clan.

 

Thirsty Juices Shakes Cebu
I’m a fan of Thirsty. Whenever I’m in Manila or go back home to my hometown in Iligan, I make sure to sip a Thirsty shake.

The prices of the shakes are too steep for me, that’s why I seldom get one, I think I only tried it once. Maybe I’ll get one once in a while, because of its health benefits.
