WHY GO

Whether vacationing or escaping the busy metropolis of Cebu's Mactan Island, Crimson Resort and Spa Mactan’s all-day dining restaurant will not disappoint; its local and international favourites are unfussy yet delicious.

TATLER TIPS

While the menu features tempting dishes from around the world, do sample and savour the scrumptious Filipino fare. Well-seasoned, the kinilaw na tuna (marinated tuna in coconut vinegar and coconut milk, tossed in onion, chilli, and green mango), for instance, is one of the freshest you can find in the region. Complete the Filipino feast with the bestselling adobong bagnet (stewed chicken and crispy pork belly in soy vinegar) and the garlic oxtail kare-kare (stewed oxtail and tripe in peanut sauce with mixed vegetables). Consider it a cheat day and pair these with steamed rice.
