I love flowers! Seeing them makes me feel all in love. So yep I’d eat there withthe flowers. It’s a nice touch.

I think its a nice personal touch. I get the impression that the owner cares and I don’t mind if some of the dining peso goes to the flowers that will wilt after several days. Fresh flowers are always nice.

I rather eat in a restaurant that has good flowers, and it can be charged to my bill as separate. How about azucenas, if you don’t find it morbid.
I do look forward to enjoying your version of the inasal.

This is off topic, but that last picture with the holes (?) totally woke me up and creeped me out! It reminded me of the viral email sent out years ago about worms burrowing in a woman’s breasts because she didn’t wash the underwear she bought before using it. :-S

Hi MM, I happen to pass by your outlet in Mango and saw this effort. It is simple and pretty, it softens the space. Im amazed, you also know how to beautifully arrange those simple flowers!

Carbon has a lot of cheap local flowers. I always go there to buy some for my room. I think Cally lilies can also make a good statement, its green stalks and white flowers are so simply elegant. it is perfect in your tall, clear vase.

BTW, the food in Mango was superb! But I always say to myself eating in your outlet is a sin. I should sin no more! my cholesterol is shooting high! My salute to you, i could not imagine that you can make a lot of dish out of lechon. It reminds me of home back in gensan during special seasons where we have leftover lechon—it will always be “recycled” to a delicious sinigang sa santol or sampalok.

Im excited to see more dishes being added up in your menu…

The flower feature looks very pretty indeed, MM. You may also consider calla lilies if you’d like a bit of variation later on.
I wouldn’t suggest putting potted plants on the counter where food is dispensed because of hygienic reasons, but a few would be fine in the dining area.
I really appreciate the ramp for the disabled in your resto. How I wish more establishments in the Philippines would have this! My late dad was wheelchair bound after suffering from a stroke and we found it a challenge getting him around in Metro Manila.
By chance do you also have a nappy changing table in the ladies room, and some high chairs for the little ones? Would you also consider having a little quiet corner with a comfy chair for breastfeeding moms, or is it alright to breastfeed in the dining area? I hope this is not against your restaurant policy.

Bengski, I think the Escario branch is closer to the Waterfront. However, its the Mango branch that has the more extensive menu… Both branches shouldn’t be more than 15-20 minutes from your hotel, unless you go during “rush hour”…

Hello MM! My husband and I will be hitting Cebu this weekend. It will be our first time in Cebu. I already prepared our itinerary and have included there a lunch and a dinner at Zubuchon. At last! We plan to visit both branch though but first, may I know which Zubuchon branch is near the Waterfront in Lahug?
Thanks!

Jaja, were you by any chance seated next to the fridges? If I recall correctly, the waiter mentioned you had read about it on the blog… and we noticed you had no sisig, so we sent that over… Thank you for trying our restaurant! :)
