Good Eats in Cebu - Part 2 - Abuhan Restaurant

For lunch on our second day, we went to Abuhan Dos Restaurant which is touted to serve the best pochero in Cebu.

The following photos are shots of Abuhan Dos' menu to give you an idea of the restaurant's various offerings:













We did not think twice and ordered the dish which made this restaurant famous.

Beef Pochero, Medium Php 304

This was just the medium size order and HB and I had much difficulty finishing it. To say that it was sinfully delightful is an understatement. HB and I exercised self control in eating the bone marrow and each of us just took small portions. (pa-healthy kuno ;) ) The broth was very tasteful and it instantly warmed our tummies. In addition, the meat was very tender and easy to take off from the bone. 




And while Cebu's pochero is actually what Manilenos and Batanguenos call bulalo, we had no regrets in taking time to sample the Cebuano version of this classic Filipino comfort food.

Hi Kat, thanks for posting about Abuhan Dos. We ( My colleagues and I who work at IT Park) were craving for Pochero and baked Tahong. We didn't know Abuhan's contact number and their menu so we googled it and bumped into your page. Thanks heaps! Our cravings were rectified.
