Crocodiles are Tasty! : 5 Reasons Manggahan Should Rule Cebu's Resto Scene

Enthrallment is the new word I learned and it means to be fascinated of something so much you're an inch away from puking. I ate with my Lola at Manggahan Lahug and the lunch is almost an enthrallment. I say almost because the langaw, which is not the resto's fault, gives the store away.

Reasons The Manggahan is a place for foodies who are ready to be judged for eating scones and 6 luwags of unli MAIS and unli HUMAY.

1. They serve unlimited cups of mais for 15 bird's twat in the mouth of a hippo pesos. Unli humay is 20.

2. They have mirrors you CANNOT actually use, so that means you won't see yourself get fat from the shovels of rice you shove in your dry dysphoric mouth. Dysphoria is the opposite of Euphoria.

3. For decor they frame quotes in beautiful typography from Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden because the resto is a garden and because you know, they want you to rule the Trivia Nights.

4. The Humba (P50) and Lomi (P60) in what I am sure is floating in Campbell soup and the almost liver spread texture Barbecue nga Atay sa Baboy (P9 each stick) are delicious in a very decently priced suki carenderia way, and that's fine because familiarity gives you safety and you know that eating at a clean artsy wifi-ready restaurant with a USB outlet for charging and compelling exhibit of scarred mirrors and that serves stuff your reliable Turo-Turo sa Unahan can deliver well is kind of not bad. Well, kind of. 

It's still better to eat in fancy pretentious restaurants if you ask me, says no one.

5. They have Crocodile Sisig and if Alejandro's Crispy Pata has claimed the tag line "The Home of the Best Crispy Pata in Town", Manggahan should also claim the line: MANGGAHAN: We Serve Crocodiles.
