It was already 10:00 PM and we haven’t had our dinner. No surprise there! That’s normal for us. Just an hour late from our usual. We were driving around Mactan Island looking for a place to eat. We can’t afford Sutikil, the Mactan Marina Mall was already closed, and surely we don’t want to go outside the island to look for food. Andok’s, beside the Gaisano Mactan Island Mall, was the only “decent” Cebu restaurant in Mactan we could find.
Five very hungry young souls out to experience Andok’s equals one interesting conversation and more…
Andok’s “Whole Day Agahan” and “Afforda Meals”

In general, we did not like our food in Andok’s Mactan THAT time. But who can blame them! We ordered breakfast meals for our late dinner. But to be fair with, I have eaten at Andok’s on a separate occasion. I enjoyed their Porkcharap meal, Chopsuey, and their Special Lechon Kawali. Although everyone was “not-liking” what they had, we definitely had a fun after-dinner experience. The place has wonderful interiors and lighting perfect for some serious photo-op hahaha!
Andok’s has many restaurants in Cebu that you can try. Check them out!
