Dined at Fabio's in Busay

Had the courage to go out of the house last Saturday although weather forecast showed a high chance of rain. The skies were clear though and James and I thought we could make it to Busay before it would pour. Thank goodness, the rain didn't visit Cebu City that day so traffic was the only enemy.

But we soon arrived at a section along Veteran's Drive in Busay which I really believe is a rather dangerous location, the two lane road is just a few inches away from the resto's doorway like literally. There were a few vehicles parked in Sampaloque's little parking area which is beside Fabio's. And motorcycles or other vehicles moving in 60kph are passing by, I hope no accidents will ever occur near here.

Anyway, as we entered, I realized this is a very small restaurant, reclaimed wood were used for their walls, wooden crates made into table tops, some tables and chairs are also placed outside for those who adore al fresco dining and a mountain bike hanging at the left wall. Simple, homey with a nice view of the mountains.

Hurriedly, I went to the available table attached at the wall behind, it got high chairs with great glass windows overlooking the Busay mountains and a little glimpse of the cityscape. I could feel the cold breeze.

I adored the florescent lights under the table, it added a cool vibe. I snapped few shots, used my phone because I was too tired to excited to pull my Sony NEX camera in my anti thief backpack (a gift from my Belgian boss).

Some English speaking diners were having a heart to heart talk but because its a tiny place, I could literally hear what they were talking and whom they were backbiting. Anyway, I had to busy myself and tried my best not to listen to what they were talking.

At this point, the staff already handed me the menu. I ordered pasta, some cheesy fries, mashed potato for James and a grilled quarter chicken. Oh, I love lemonade so I ordered their BlackBerry mint and Strawberry Basil for James.

On my left, I was tempted to ask if I could rewrite this for them. I love the wooden set of kitchenware.

The drinks came in first. And I had to ask again which was which, they got the same color and i missed that mine shouldn't have basil.

Food arrived in a few minutes and I was already starving I couldn't wait for all the orders to arrive so I ended up just taking a photo of my pasta and the fries.

Their pasta was just so so, there was something missing and I can't figure it out. Or maybe it was because I already taken a few sips of the BlackBerry Mint.

Cheesy fries was of course a bomb. Everyone loves cheese and fries so if combined together, is a hit! But while eating, I realized I was carbo loading with all these starch!

It's okay I told myself, its Saturday and it means cheat day.

As mentioned, Sampaloque is another resto just next to Fabio's. There's another establishment next to it and that's Crate, a coffee shop.

Crate only allows their customers to drink their coffee outside. Although it was okay, I dislike that I there's too much noise and air pollution because of the vehicles passing by.
