Bakhaw Kiwi - Cebu

This place is amazing! The owner is so nice and beautiful. They open at 18:30 and it would be advisable to order forward because they prepare every meal fresh and very well prepared. After the first night we had dinner there every evening. The portions are large (we ordered the salad plant Curry and we shared both and were super full (and it is quite cheap! I never had such fresh onions in my whole life (and normally I don't like them in a salad, but these were so delicious.

After two long years without foreign tourists due to Cocid, the place looks a bit suffered and not appealing much by look, but I'm really happy that we gave it a chance, we had our best/fresh meals always here in Malapascua. Gemma (owner lady is really friendly and probably the best cook on the whole island, she knows the difference between vegetarian and vegan. Expect loong food preparation duration (around an hour as for some vegetables she collects from the garden during the preparation. Better to get her number and give the order an hour ago or schedule next time while you are eating. Gemma is very kind she even prepared take-away food for our boat trip (there are only bbq options on the boat trips in the early morning. Pumpkin Soup is a must try, my favourite! Expect huge portions, for two people one soup, one salad (very fresh one , one side and one main is mooore than enough. Prices are better than other restaurants. Gemma promised us to include more vegetarian/vegan options in the future:

Food is worth the wait. It does take a while because it is being made fresh from items in the garden. The veggie curry was one of the best I had during my stay in the Philippines

I decided to try the vegetable adobo, while my friend opted for the vegetable curry. The portions were large and the dishes were incredibly tasty! The restaurant is very vegan-friendly, so just make sure to mention your dietary preferences when ordering. The menu offers an entire page dedicated to vegetarian options.

The food at this restaurant is definitely worth the wait. It may take some time because it is freshly prepared using ingredients from the garden. The vegetable curry was one of the best dishes I had during my time in the Philippines.
