Long before the coming of the Spaniards, the Chinese have already established their presence in Cebu. In fact, the Parian district can be considered as the Chinatown of Cebu since many Chinese traders dropped off the products they traded in the area. With the significant Chinese population in Cebu, it is all but understandable for Chinese restaurants to sprout all around the city.
