After the wedding of Emil and Sui-ling on November 19, 2017, most of our guests went home to their respective places. The family of Lucas C. Tan remained billeted at Quest Hotel. Then on November 21, the entire family together with the newly wedded couple, Luz Co (the mother of Angel), and Marion Olmillo, my daughter Marion's boy friend from Manila, altogether we embarked for a week long family excursion going through a Cebu loop tour. My son Tomas arranged with much enthusiastsm this our family outing. We went to the beaches, river and mountain. It was a great and enjoyable family reunion!!!
We hired a van to take us to places. Our first stop was a snack at Jessie's Cebu Torta. The first picture shows Lucas sitting near the wooden stove posing with the uncooked and cooked tortas. The other picture shows the family eating the snacks and awaiting for the sikwate (chocolate drinks) to arrive. The torta was a sweet coarse cake with a little tart taste because of the tuba (coconut vinegar wine) mixture.
We had lunch at a good restaurant on the way to Sumilon. Along the coast, we took a resort boat to ferry us to the island. It took awhile waiting for the boat to arrive. We reached Blue Water Sumilon Island Resort after 4:00 PM. A nice breezy scenic place to get away from the maddening crowd.,

We stayed for three days and two nights at Blue Water Sumilon Island Resort. The air was clean and breezy. The water had big waves though for this particular season. We did not venture much to the sea but stayed and swim at the more serene sandbar most of the time. The first supper at Sumilon, we had Filipino buffet. The food was superb. I specially loved their ginataan alimago and hipon, and also their green mango salad. I went back for second and third servings. Hahaha. For their buffet breakfast, I loved their fried crispy dangit and pusit. Their fried manto was also good. I got plenty of pineapple and rambutan fruits too. Sarap!
Our next destination would be a land trip to Moalboal and other stop overs.
To be continued on next posting....
