Hello Everyone! I was in Cebu for the weekend. On our way to Basilica Manor de Santo Ninyo, we decided to stop by La Fortuna Bakery and Diner (for obvious reasons.. Proximity to the Church). The food was good enough but the serving was bad. If you are a traveller who pays much attention to value-for-your-money, then this La Fortuna is not the place for you. To my dismay, when I was asking for Glasses to be used for the Soda and Bottled water, they apparently DO NOT HAVE any and your only option is to buy a plastic cup for THREE Pesos each! And since my camera’s battery is already drained, the freakin rude guard approached me and said that it would have a COST of TWENTY pesos per FIVE Minutes. WHAT A WAY TO ROB TOURIST AND PARISHIONERS.

Am not a Cebuana but recently spent almost a month there for the Summit (yeah, I can hear the groans of the Cebuanos re: traffic rerouting, etc. Hehe!) Everytime I would go back to Manila, I had to go to La Fortuna to buy their thin chicharon! Hubby n kids demanded it! Sarap!!

I went on a holiday vacation in Cebu 2 years ago together with my Mom, my sister, nephew and cousin and had a great time in Plantation Bay Resort but I can’t believe the price of food in Plantation Bay like 5,500 pesos for one morning of buffet breakfast!!

We learned our lesson and bought our food supplies at La Fortuna on our way to the basilica and Lord I can tell you all, we saved alot of money from the food we bought that last for few days while in Plantation Bay. Thank you so much to La Fortuna. Amazingly cheap and good food!!! The lechon manok along the way to Plantation is excellent.

The Chinese characters above the “La Fortuna” sign, read “Diao Eng Chay” in Fukien. I wonder if this is owned by the same people who own the DEC chain in Manila.

i was introduced to La Fortuna in the 70s and was a loyal customer when I frequented Cebu in the 80s. But you’re right, MM, now their products look “professional” but taste like they’re all made of paste, sugar and flour. the hopia filling tastes like it was extended with leftover hopia crust dough. haven’t bought their stuff since then (about 4 years ago). sayang!

The tikoys today seem to be loaded with too much sugar and artificial coloring. The hopias have less filling, more cardboard dough.
