Last Friday, I went with some folks from the office at one of Cebu’s famous dessert hangouts. We headed to The Walk before midnight and went straight to La Marea, in Asiatown IT Park, Cebu City. Since I’m a sucker for cakes and pastries, I had a hard time choosing among all those yummy-looking desserts. My two companions ordered the warm brownie cup while I ordered the white chocolate cup. What influenced my decision? The price, being P95 (less than 100) and the rest of them ordered the warm brownie, so I chose the other one instead.

Actually, La Marea is famous for its warm brownie cup and I still find it yummy despite its being too sweet. I didn’t enjoy eating the white chocolate one since the serving size was smaller compared to the warm brownie cup. The texture of the “white” brownie isn’t also that fine. Basta.. I didn’t like it. Good thing was my other companion failed to finish her whole brownie cup since it was too sweet for her tonsils so she asked me to help in finishing up the other half of her cup ( i finished my cup faster than the other two since my cup serving is 50% lesser than the  warm brownie ciup).  I immediately obliged, of course! :lol:

Finally, KFC in IT Park Cebu caved in. They are now open 24 hours a day, but only on weekdays to cater to the general public, which primarily consists of people working on BPO companies in IT Park.

IT Park, which is one of Cebu’s Business districts, houses buildings primarily structured for call centers and other BPOs. IT Park’s workforce mainly consists of people who work on different shifts: day and night and KFC’s move to operate 24 hours a day is just right.

After a month has passed since KFC opened it’s doors in IT Park, I guess the company finally realized that it will benefit their sales if they open 24 hours a day.

There are a lot of stores in IT Park which operates 24 hours a day. Among these stores are McDonalds at The Walk, Jollibee in the i2 Building, Ila Puti at the i1 Building and Mocha Blends in SkyRise. Other stores that are open at night includes Chowabunga, Breakfast Club and Bo’s Coffee. Roma Mia, Abuhan Tres, RaiRai Ken, Starbucks, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Da Vinci’s, Moon Cafe, Casa Verde, Shakeys, East West and La Marea are not open 24/7 though.

As for the stores in SkyRise, I forgot the names of the establishments since I seldom go there now.
