My trip to Cebu Philippians and solution for Gluten Free Foods

[Adam 50]

Greetings to all

Recently, I visited Cebu City in the Philippines; I had already researched gluten-free food issues in the city. There was an advertisement in the newspaper introducing eight different gluten-free restaurants in the city, While I was preparing my trip I contacted them. . A few of these restaurants have never heard of gluten-free foods or celiac disease. One of them asked if I was vegetarian. When I asked why your ad says like that, the answer was that we have no idea who advertised. My research didn't start well. In Manila, the capital of PH, I found a distributor of gluten-free food ingredients. Their prices were significantly higher than Canada, and delivery was extra expenses. As there was no gluten-free food restaurant in the city, I prepared ingredients for the food I would cook for myself.

Finally I was in the city; in PH, most of the stores sell home-made food. If you can eat it, the food is usually delicious and the price is very low. With each store, I discussed a suggestion I had. With my ingredients, they could cook the same foods for me. I finally found a store that two ladies are managing to cook daily for me, I told them I would pay triple the price of other foods, but they told me not to worry, it's a new experience for them too.

My food was ready on time the next day, and I have not experienced such great food in a very long time. Whenever I went to the store before noon, food for lunch and dinner was ready for me the same day to take it out. I usually paid $10 or $15 in PH currency. A few days later, I asked the sisters, the store owners, why you don't make a serious business out of gluten-free foods? Over half a million tourists visit the same city every year. They created their own Instagram account at:

Our support for these good sisters' new business is well deserved.

Thank you all very much

Thank you for sharing this, I've always wanted to go there. It is strange that these companies advertised being gluten-free, then had no idea what you were talking about...I wonder how that happened?
