The Christmas tree lighting at the lobby of Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort last Saturday evening reminded me why I love dining there. After the ceremonies, we had buffet dinner at 5 Cien and I gravitated, as is my wont, to the seafood station.
The star for me was the tuna sashimi. Its freshness made it quite a treat and another plate would have been over-indulgence. The station also offered salmon sashimi and various types of sushi.
A centerpiece was the spread of crabs, shells, and shrimp.
No Cebu feast is complete without a lechon or whole roasted pig and 5 Cien offered a crunchy and tasty selection. Of the resort-based restos in Cebu, 5 Cien and the nearby Dip Nikkei should be on top of your Cebu list.
