The culinary skills of Cebuanos are best demonstrated by the food items that are innately Cebuano. One distinctively Cebuano culinary creation is the ngohiong. The ngohiong is Cebu’s version of the spring roll and has delighted many residents and visitors of the Queen City of the South. It is sold just about everywhere, from street vendors to carenderias, and restaurants specializing in the dish. Since there may be some people who have yet to taste this uniquely Cebuano dish, we came up with a list of five places where you can find the ngohiong in the Queen City of the South.

Ho Ngohiong
Ho Ngohiong is the brainchild of the Bernardo siblings. The business started off as a simple pushcart and table in front of the home of the Bernardos. They eventually set up a small dining area in the garage of their home. While many of their customers eat the ngohiong inside the place, there are also a number who take the dish out. Ho Ngohiong has at least five branches located in different parts of the city. These places are in Banilad, Mambaling, Labangon, P. del Rosario, and Andres Abellana.

TJRB Ngohiong
TJRB Ngohiong is a small eatery specializing in ngohiong. The place is located right across the old Sacred Heart School campus along General Maxilom Avenue. It has been serving freshly-cooked ngohiong for some time already. Many of their customers were former students of Sacred Heart before the school transferred to Canduman. Since the place is rather small, some customers would take out their orders so they can enjoy the ngohiong in the comfort of their homes.
