SOHO PARK at IT Park in Cebu City, Philippines

The discovery of this relatively new restaurant at IT Park in Lahug, Cebu City was unintentional.  We were just standing by an opposite block right in front of Jollibee and with eyes busy roaming for great finds to feed famished stomachs, then, there I saw SOHO PARK!

This foodie journey is still part of my 45-day vacation in my home city of Cebu last third quarter of 2017.  It was August 1, 2017 in exact when we visited and decided to try having dinner there since by the looks of it (through their floor-to-ceiling clear glass walls), the restaurant looked pretty neat and I presumed they serve great food!  

After having selected our seats, a nook at an end corner of the restaurant, I asked the wait staff if how old the restaurant was?  And I was right, it was new! It was just two-days old at that time of our visit since they had their soft opening on the 31st of July!  Oh, that got me sooo thrilled since I was at the haunt for something new (eating establishments) in my hometown!

By scrutinizing the interior designing, the choice of colors, materials and color coordination within, that including the menu of course, this restaurant appealed to be minimalistic, slightly rustic yet modern and slightly country too (see the table napkin + spoon/fork folding).

Let's talk about food now and continue scrolling to see our choices for dinner.

Surprises, in the form of unexpected tastes from "strange" (new) dishes, urged my heart to skip a beat.  Slighty sour and that's why I loved it!  Though the serving size was specially good for one tummy only.

I love the choices of fresh greens and crumbly bites and that abundance of cheese added so much zest on every chew.

A bowl of hot steamed white rice topped with tasty pork recipe have actually repleted my hunger (though there were other dishes that I needed to taste too).  Still serving size was enough for a petite appetite like mine.

Even though I am not much a fan of this dish, I still have tasted it from some other Vietnamese restaurant. So I had some bites of theirs too, which I was not that appreciative.
