A Flavorful Experience at FoodLab Banilad

We had such an amazing dining experience at FoodLab by Creative Cuisine Group in Banilad, Cebu! 😋 From the very first bite, it was clear that this restaurant is serious about delivering flavor-packed dishes that satisfy both the taste buds and the appetite.

Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor — no misses, just pure satisfaction. From the Bird’s Nest Soup, Beef Broccoli, Sweet & Sour Pork, and their showstopper Crispy Pata, everything was cooked to perfection. 🐷✨

The highlight? Definitely the Crispy Pata. With its golden crunchy skin, juicy tender meat, and rich flavors, it easily became the star of the table. Honestly, if we could eat the bones, we would — it was that good! 😂

What Makes FoodLab Special

FoodLab stands out for its consistency and quality. Unlike some restaurants where one dish shines and the rest feel “okay lang,” here everything was well-seasoned, freshly cooked, and carefully prepared.

  • ✅ Perfect for family dinners – generous portions and variety

  • ✅ Great for group celebrations – sulit sharing-style meals

  • ✅ Casual get-togethers – comfort food without breaking the budget

Their dishes don’t just fill your stomach — they leave you satisfied, smiling, and already planning your next visit.

Value for Money

One of the best parts about dining at FoodLab is their generous serving sizes. Whether you’re coming with family, officemates, or barkada, you’ll get excellent value for your money.

  • Bird’s Nest Soup – rich and flavorful, perfect for sharing

  • Beef Broccoli – tender beef strips with crisp veggies, a healthy balance

  • Sweet & Sour Pork – a classic that’s done right, with tangy sauce and crunchy meat

  • Crispy Pata – the ultimate indulgence, crispy outside and juicy inside

For the price you pay, the serving sizes make it sulit, especially if you’re dining as a group. 💸👌

Ambiance & Dining Tips

The restaurant itself is simple and straightforward. While they don’t have air-conditioning yet, it’s still a comfortable place to dine. Our quick tip? Visit during late afternoon or evening when the weather is cooler. 🌇

Even without the A/C, the food alone makes FoodLab worth every visit. It’s proof that great flavors don’t need a fancy setting — what matters most is the taste and the experience shared with your company.

FoodLab Restaurant by Creative Cuisine Group truly deserves a spot on your Cebu must-try dining list. With its flavorful dishes, generous servings, and budget-friendly prices, it’s a place that hits all the right notes for locals and visitors alike.

Since it was the talk of the town, we made sure to check it out right away for dinner. There’s always a special kind of excitement when you try a new restaurant on its opening week.

  Why Sunburst Fried Chicken Still Hits the Spot When it comes to Cebuano comfort food, very few names stand out as much as Sunburst Fried Chicken . For decades, it has been part of many family gatherings, barkada lunches, and quick mall bites. Even with new food spots opening left and right in Cebu, Sunburst continues to deliver that nostalgic crunch and flavor that many of us grew up with.

  Street Food Vibes at Roro Cordova Food Park Late-afternoon cravings led us to  Roro Cordova Food Park  in Cordova, Cebu. The place was lively when we arrived—music in the background, families sharing tables, and stalls calling out with fresh batches of snacks. It felt cozy and friendly, with that casual “tara, kaon ta” energy you get from good street food spots. What we noticed first was how  budget-friendly  the choices were. You can mix and match small plates, try something new, or go for that one dish you already love. It’s the kind of food trip where you leave full and happy without spending too much.
