Sammy’s Pochero House was an eatery located close to Fuente Osmeña. It was one of the favorite go-to places of Cebuanos who after a night of fun during the weekend. They would normally order their pochero and pair it with puso or hanging rice. For on a budget, they would order puso and soup from the pochero.

Shakey’s, Pizza Hut, Yellow Cab, and Alberto’s were nothing compared to Mom’s Pizza, which had stalls all over the city. These stalls sold cheap yet filling pizza in schools around the Queen City of the South. They offered a basic pizza with tomato sauce, meat, cheese, and other basic ingredients.

Sen Hiap Hing Department Store

Long before Robinsons, SM, and Ayala opened their doors to the market in Cebu, there was Sen Hiap Hing Department Store.  Sen Hiap Hing was considered one of the premier places to shop in the past. People would flock to the place to buy just about anything. 

Narada Boutique

​Narada Boutique was also one of the places where Cebuanos would go to buy things that were not offered in many of the department stores in Cebu. These items include shirts, caps, and other similar merchandise. There were also instances when you could find creeper shoes sold at Narada Boutique.

Even as Cebu has changed in the last few decades, it is still important to look back during the time when life was simpler.
