Rod, you darn near got me sold on cebu....loved the video, and the questions I have left are probably better answered with a see it for myself visit.....thanks and keepem coming !
Thanks David. I am not really in the promotion business but just trying to provide some information so others can use it to make decisions. Cebu City is a small big city with enough going on that you will only be bored it you choose to be in my opinion.
Perfect timing, Rod! I’ve been hearing about this mall and was just wondering if you were going to do a video! Thanks again for all your efforts and information.
Hi Rod. I like the Times Square sign, very Christmassy. Plenty going on there and looks a nice place to be when you're hungry. Thanks for the tour Rod and merry Christmas to you 🎄🙂👍
That looks a good place to look around on my next trip Rod, I plan to explore a few new places. So many of the restaurants there looked empty I thought. Interesting to hear you say a few of the Mango bars have closed now, I’ll be back soon to see which ones, I like the music bars on a Friday or Saturday night. Thanks for the tour.
Thanks Brian. Mango doesn't have much anymore. There are a couple bars further down Mango Ave and side streets though. Times Square has new places open and opening soon since I was there last time.
Amazing information, thank you. Have a quick question, where would one find an English Roast Beef dinner complete with Yorkshire Pudding in Cebu and do you think they would offer it on Christmas?
Thanks and interesting question ksawa. "Western" style roast beef is quite rare here I think. I have had good roast beef at a restaurant called Brique. I think there are at least 3 in town with one being at Ayala Mall on the upper terrace area. They called it "drunken beef" and pretty good.
Great video Rod I will visit next week when I arrive how long will it take with a taxi from the circle and how much peso Is there plenty taxis to get be back to mango after a few san mingles ?
Thanks. 30 minutes of less or longer during rush hour. About 200 pesos probably or a bit more in traffic. There are usually taxis hanging out in the area.
Hey Rod how are u ? The views coming down the stairs was nice to ... Time Square is near to Mango 🥭 Square? What’s the area big roundabout very busy have you been there to the Lola Lucy Grill House looks really good foods ? Hey are you on Facebook to ?
Thanks Layne. Times Square is across from Parkmall in Mandaue City. Fuente Osmenia Circle is near Mango. Facebook suspended my account because of "suspicious activity" whatever that was and I don't miss it.
Hotpot per person by me in NY is $50. So P1,038 for 2 to 3 is a great deal. Looks like a great place to eat, drink and have fun. Merry Christmas and happy new years! Will they be having their own ball drop there? lol
My friend Rod.... I would like to wish you a very Merry Xmas !!!! any set plans yet on your upcoming visit to USA? I will be back to Cebu March 20-30.. if you are still , i hope to see ya then
Hello Rod. Music there is not bad. Over here at our place there is a nightly battle of the baddest, worst voice going on. Three houses all different songs. So much fun--right. Will have to make a trip down there soon. Have a great Christmas season. And just wait, New Year's eve will be here soon. Add in fireworks.
Thanks David. The music (noise) is just crazy with 2 or more bars bleeding over each other. It is strange that they do it and even stranger that customers put up with it and don't just leave the area. Merry Christmas. Christmas and New Year are much quieter in the last year since they started enforcing rules that limit where fireworks can be set off.
I have found the wifi with Globe to be better than Smart or Sun in most areas of Cebu City but didn't check it here. Most seating outside of businesses is for customers but not enforced at times depending on the business and how busy they are I suppose.
Nice video rod, yeah probably to many places to eat, looks like the Korean and Chinese restaurants are moving in, I like a good Indian restaurant hard to find a proper genuine Indian restaurant, if not a good Italian restaurant will do 😉👍.
Thanks Derek. Koreans are still the largest number of foreigners here followed closely by Chinese so there are lots of Korean Restos. There are not too many Indian restaurants but you can find them around the city.
I recommend the buffet 101 right when it opens for an awesome lunch..they have every kind of food you could imagine...and yes even at the fast food places when the only seat left at Mcdo is under the ceiling speaker they blast the music at ear splitting decibels..smh...I actually walked out one time and left my half eaten breakfast on the table...but next trip I will have my galaxy wireless earbuds to drown out the music...and be honest Rod you were thinking about using 2:52 as clickbait but decided not to.lol😂
LOL. Yes, I was thinking of using a couple pics from the video for clickbait Kenny. Quite a few girls there. I have asked McD to turn down the noise a couple of times but I really get tired of asking.
Several of the chains like Pizza Hut, Shakeys are here Troy. There is also a number of local chains. Traveller's Restobar near Immigration in J Centre Mall now has a large pizza oven but I haven't had any pizza there yet.
Dear Sir, I request you to make a Video on Currency Notes. Clear Video about how to find out That Currency Notes are original. Like water marks and where we will get Better Currency exchange rates .....sorry for my Bad English i hope you got what i am trying to ask you
Shaba-Shaba is originally Japanese. It involves first cooking very thin Kobe beef in water in a pot at your table. Eventually vegetables are added to make a soup. According to my friends in Japan, Shabu-shabu is supposed to be the sound that the meat makes as you swish it though the hot water. I don’t think Kobe beef is here in Cebu. My visits to Japan was over 10 years ago and though I never paid, I think the per person price was $75+
Would like to see the other place with the calm music. Loud music clubs and kareoke strobe light isn't for me. I never liked it even when I was young. Looks like some good eats there though.
Thanks Keith. Mo2 has a very loud disco up stairs but quieter better music on the 1st floor area. It has a roof but open and often enough breeze to be comfortable.
Certainly plenty of variety there Rod----if you cant find something to eat or some entertainment then you are a very picky person---thanks again for the info
@@AmazingPhilippines1 A professional is someone that gets paid to cook, and has a job cooking at a restaurant. Either that, or the owner of the restaurant.
Too loud its distorting very uncomfortable on the ears sounds terrible like that, looks busy good place to meet someone maybe if u can take the noise good video Rod
Rod I notice the way everyone's dress. It does not seem that your common place for your normal Filipino. Everyone was dressed nice. Not overly nicely dressed. A little bit app scale which I hate saying it that way

This looks like a great place to explore. I'm going to be in the area next week for a week.
It is a concentration of food and drink and has changed quite a bit in the last year John. Have fun and enjoy.
Thank you for walk through of different malls, shops, restaurants, bars in Mandaue City, Times Square area.
Thanks for watching and commenting Julius.
Perfect timing, Rod! I’ve been hearing about this mall and was just wondering if you were going to do a video! Thanks again for all your efforts and information.
Thanks Roger. It is easy to miss this place from the street but there is a lot going on there.
Hi Rod. I like the Times Square sign, very Christmassy. Plenty going on there and looks a nice place to be when you're hungry. Thanks for the tour Rod and merry Christmas to you 🎄🙂👍
Thanks Pete and Merry Christmas. This is an option.
Lots of places for a fun night out with food and drink! Thanks for the video!
Thanks James. There are options.

Hello Rod. I wonder if you might be able to post a video on Vegetarian and Vegan food options. That sector is booming here in the UK
Thanks for the thought Sebastian. I haven't seen much in vegan options but will research a bit more.

Hello John. Merry Christmas to you also. I have not made plans yet so will just have to see. safe travels.

Omg this is great place in Cebu full of nice restaurants
Thanks for watching and commenting.
1) how's the WiFi in this area ;
2) at O:35 are those seats at the tables for customers only ???
I have found the wifi with Globe to be better than Smart or Sun in most areas of Cebu City but didn't check it here. Most seating outside of businesses is for customers but not enforced at times depending on the business and how busy they are I suppose.
bgeen there in the day time never ventured out there at night lots to see ill have to go there thanks Rod
Thanks Kriss. I is a different crowd at night.
Hi Rob. I'll be in Cebu just before Sinulog. I'll be staying 2 weeks. Maybe we can get a beer sometime.
He David. My email is noisemasters@gmail.com. Contact me as the time gets near and we can meet.
Hi Rod, great selection of restaurants and plenty of entertainment, it’s a shame about the clashing of music.
Thanks Peter. This is an option but no one seems to be in control of the overall volume and courtesy between stores.
Nice video rod, yeah probably to many places to eat, looks like the Korean and Chinese restaurants are moving in, I like a good Indian restaurant hard to find a proper genuine Indian restaurant, if not a good Italian restaurant will do 😉👍.

I have been there, and to be clear, I believe the name is “ City Times Square” if you are traveling to the location.
Thanks Dave.
What about pizza in the Philippines? Are there any good pizza places there?
Several of the chains like Pizza Hut, Shakeys are here Troy. There is also a number of local chains. Traveller's Restobar near Immigration in J Centre Mall now has a large pizza oven but I haven't had any pizza there yet.
Dear Sir,
I request you to make a Video on Currency Notes.
Clear Video about how to find out That Currency Notes are original. Like water marks and where we will get Better Currency exchange rates .....sorry for my Bad English i hope you got what i am trying to ask you
Thanks CK Reddy. Money is on my list of video ideas.

exactly... "swish swish" I love Shabu Shabu here in south calif
Thanks for that info. I learn something new today.
I love Cebu City,,so nice place..
Thanks Borja. There is a lot to do in Cebu but one needs to get out and experience the different areas.
Would like to see the other place with the calm music. Loud music clubs and kareoke strobe light isn't for me. I never liked it even when I was young. Looks like some good eats there though.
Thanks Keith. Mo2 has a very loud disco up stairs but quieter better music on the 1st floor area. It has a roof but open and often enough breeze to be comfortable.
First view
Congrats Mark.
Thanks Rod! I wonder if they have condos with lap pool in mandaui city?
Certainly plenty of variety there Rod----if you cant find something to eat or some entertainment then you are a very picky person---thanks again for the info
Thanks Clyde. This place has been here at least a couple of years and has several new stores and restos each year.
That's a lot of restaurants. Also, when I go to a restaurant I want my food cooked by a professional before it gets to my table.
I don't know which or how many have a professional chef John. You can always ask. The definition of "professional" probably varies greatly....
@@AmazingPhilippines1 A professional is someone that gets paid to cook, and has a job cooking at a restaurant. Either that, or the owner of the restaurant.
amazing place but too much noise
🙉
Thanks Sebastian. I was over here a couple of weeks ago and most of these businesses are now closed permanently because of the lockdown.
Too loud its distorting very uncomfortable on the ears sounds terrible like that, looks busy good place to meet someone maybe if u can take the noise good video Rod
Thanks Dennis. It is an interesting place but the noise level.can be very annoying making it difficult to talk.
That place would get old in a hurry, especially with the noise level!
Thanks. We all have different tolerance for noise but this over bleeding of music here and IT Park is a bit crazy.
1,000+ for that shabu-shabu? that is insanely expensive....I'd rather go to vikings and pay the same amount for a nice good buffet...
Thanks Irene. I have walked through Viking to see the great spread they have but I have not eaten there yet. Good choice I think.
Shabu means drugs mon
Thanks Tom. I often see signs for Shabu shabu which is some Korean food I think, maybe soup.
Rod I notice the way everyone's dress. It does not seem that your common place for your normal Filipino. Everyone was dressed nice. Not overly nicely dressed. A little bit app scale which I hate saying it that way
Thanks boogieman. I think you are correct.
Too many Koreans in that area.
Koreans are still the greatest number of foreign tourists and many live here, followed closely by Chinese.
