I onced lived my wat at Lapu Lapu City in Cebu. That happened when I forced my parents to allow me to live independently and find a job. I was based at Lapu Lapu and it has the finest beach resorts, work stations, restaurants and more. Lapu Lapu is quite a busy city and it has touched my heart in terms of peole, food and beach. Last time, my friends and I went to Sutukil. Its actually famous if your from the Philippines. All the delightful seafoods can bee found in one place.

tukil restaurants let you choose whatever you want cooked from stalls of fresh fish, prawns, crabs, seaweeds, shells, clams and even lobsters  These seafood are as fresh as seafood can be and the crabs and lobsters on display are still alive as you pick which ones you want cooked. Sutukil eateries get their daily supply of fresh seafood from fishers in nearby islets.
Many people love to eat in the place and it’s packed on weekends, especially during mealtimes. When we got there last Thursday, however, we were the only customers in the eatery we chose as it was mid-afternoon on a weekday.

We chose a local fish, molmol, because its white meat is great for kinilaw. The woman who sold us the fish did not bother asking us how we want it prepared. When I asked her how it would be cooked, she simply said sutukil. Everyone who eats fish in the place get this triadic culinary treat: sugba, tula and kilaw.

Try out the yummy foods and the breeze of fresh air only at Cebu.

Back when I was young, my family visited Bohol. If you plan to take a trip to Bohol, you will realize that there are plenty of sites to visit and beaches to lounge in. Aside from that, it is most famous for its Chocolate Hills. Everyone is bound to find the place appealing. With mere curiosity from tourist, one might consider it as real chocolates. The chocolate hills are just inspirations from the chocolate kisses and colors. The hills are very attractive and the place is well maintained. Today, Chocolate hill still stands as one of the famous tourist attractions of the Philippines.

The Chocolate Hills are an unusual geological formation in Bohol, Philippines.^[1] According to the latest accurate survey done,^[ there are 1,776 hills spread over an area of more than 50 square kilometers (20 sq mi). They are covered in green grass that turns brown during the dry season, hence the name.

The Chocolate Hills are a famous tourist attraction of Bohol. They are featured in the provincial flag and seal to symbolize the abundance of natural attractions in the province. They are in the Philippine Tourism Authority’s list of tourist destinations in the Philippines; they have been declared the country’s 3rd National Geological Monument and proposed for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The Chocolate Hills are Bohol’s most famous attraction.

The Chocolate Hills are not the only example of conical karst hills on earth. Slovenia and Croatia both have conical karst hills, except that the Chocolate Hills are simpler examples because the Chocolate Hills have no caves. The Bungle Bungles in the Purnululu National Park in Western Australia feature similar sedimentary formations.

The Chocolate Hills is a rolling terrain of haycock hills – mounds of general shape which are conical and almost symmetrical. Estimated to be at least 1,268 individual mounds to about 1,776, these cone-shaped or dome-shaped hills are actually made of grass-covered limestone. The domes vary in sizes from 30 to 50 metres (98 to 160 ft) high with the largest being 120 metres (390 ft) in height. They are scattered throughout the towns of Carmen, Batuan and Sagbayan in Bohol. Bohol’s “main attraction”, these unique mound-shaped hills are scattered by the hundreds on the island’s central plain, concentrated near the town of Carmen.

The unique land form known as the Chocolate Hills of Bohol was formed ages ago by the uplift of coral deposits and the action of rain water and erosion
