I saw a lot of locals eating here, and it was opened inside a shopping mall, so I thought the food must be very good, so I joined them and waited in line for a while. The portions were super big, after all, that's what locals eat.
There are many restaurants and a food court similar to the Big Times. Gerry's is just one of them. It is a good restaurant and has opened branches in many places in the Philippines. There is more than one in Cebu. The prices are fair and the portions are large.

I'm a regular here and I think the new restaurant is a step up from the old one; the food is better, the atmosphere and interior are much better, and the service is still excellent. If you ask them to bring you a dim sum, you always get a mix of different dim sum. This restaurant is good for couples as well as large groups.
One of the best fish and chips I've ever had, and believe me, I've had a lot. The fish and chips and fried chicken here really impressed me, the ingredients are fresh, cooked to order, and more importantly, the batter is very well seasoned, cheap, and the portions are very generous. The service is also very friendly and always attentive to your dining needs. This restaurant is highly recommended.

The environment determines the mood of dining! Every seat in the store has its own beauty. We chose a seat by the window. It was raining outside in the afternoon. The room was warmly lit, and everyone was talking quietly. Everything was just right.
aa has a chain store in the Philippines. It is a relatively large store. It is still open late at night. The barbecue ingredients are slightly different from those in China. The taste is good and the beer is also delicious.

The environment is nice, the food is fresh, you can tell the waiter how you like it, the price is affordable, suitable for people who like seafood
I went there with my daughter, but I ate most of it, hahaha
Next time I have a chance to go to Cebu, I will choose to eat there again
On the 4th floor outdoor terrace of Ayala! Their crabs are very famous, with many flavors to choose from, the crab meat is plump, and the price is calculated by weight! The set meal is just average! The mango smoothie is not bad! You can choose to sit in the open air!

Taste: A restaurant that mainly serves local dishes. The signature dish is beef bone soup. In fact, beef bone soup is available in many places in the Philippines. A bowl of soup costs about 80 yuan, which is moderately priced. The soup is very salty. The main dish is meat, and the soup must be served with rice.
Fish and garlic shrimps The shrimps are generally fresh, as you can see from the photos. They are definitely not cooked with live shrimps.
Grilled pork belly This is also ordered because it is a signature dish. The meat is fat and lean, and it is not bad with the sauce and side dishes.
Grilled chicken wings with fish It is wrapped with a layer of spice leaves, and the roasted skin is a little burnt, but it tastes okay.
"Rice" is almost 9 yuan a ball, which is still very expensive, and the rice is not very delicious.
Environment: On the first floor of Ayala Mall in Cebu, the service is average, the dishes are served very slowly, the environment is average, and there is a 12% service charge.
Originally I just wanted to eat something casually, but I didn't expect the food in this restaurant to be so good. I ordered an oxtail soup, which was great. The pig's trotters were super delicious, the skin was very crispy, and the portion was large. Four dishes were enough for three people.

I had the 10:00 burger with burdock which was a big portion for two people. The burger also came with a bottle of red wine. The average cost per person was more than 300 RMB. I listened to the sea breeze and the music was very comfortable. The mango juice was delicious.
A seafood restaurant by the sea, the seafood is very fresh, but I prefer the roast chicken, the taste is very tasty and worth a try.
