Savoura Restuarant's story began in 2009. It is a homegrown brand, a Filipino-Italian mix restaurant with its first branch in the heart of Lapulapu City.

Savoura Robinsons Galleria is the 3rd branch. This is a step-up outside its hometown Mactan as it aims to introduce itself to the buzzing Metro food district.  The outlet is focused on the Italian specialties that are surely fresh and “pleasurable” yet made affordable.

“Everybody loves A good pasta; A pasta sauce to go with it can be made from simple ingredients, it creates a lot of different dishes with it. It tastes good and it's filling. It also has a long shelf life, so you can keep it in the larder until you need to put a meal together." So for a mall-type branch, its both fast good.  

All dishes are made affordable. A “can-be-shared” special pasta ranges from P180 to P200. One thing about Italian food is it chooses to be healthy. Try our Pasta Oglio- herbs, garlic, and olive oil, that’s it! Some prefer its taste bland but it's only bland by the standards of people who want really strong flavors in their food. They know Italian recipes really like to make and serve food that 'tastes of itself'. So it's only bland by standards of more flavourful foods. Their ribs chicken and salad are also a must try. While their cheese-packed pizza is definitely to come back for. 

And if you really want more budget-friendly mix, they definitely have them for you.! They have pasta and chicken all for P149 that comes with a  free drink. Their group meal at starts P899 (pizza, chicken, pasta with a free pitcher of iced tea) Definitely a treat for the whole family!  

The place is decorated with a colorful painting depicting an Italian feel to make guest feel more comfortable. 

    Robinsons Galleria Cebu is not just a great shopping destination with its well-curated regional brands. It’s a haven for pets too!

        After the lovely pets were blessed, pet parents and those who planned to have pets in the near future were catered to a short talk on how to choose the right pet. I got to learn so many things from it being a pet parent of a cute little puppy in the past. Several questions were posed for those who want to know how to choose the right pet for themselves.

         One of which, which is also one of the most important things to consider in choosing the right pet is to be aware of one's own schedule. Some pets need to be fed for a number of times in precise hours. For instance, if you work on a night shift, then you may have to ask someone else to feed your pet babies when you are at work. That's very important if you are taking care of a baby pet.

        You also need to consider your budget before owning a pet because they may be costly. First, there's the vaccine for specific animals and God forbid, you may need to get them to a veterinary clinic if they're sick. Some pet babies also need a specific type of grooming and licensing.

        Another thing to take note before owning a pet is deciding what type of pet do you really want. Some animals need extra maintenance, while others don't. Some animals like specific dog breeds need active lifestyle which must be in consonance to yours'. That is why, you have to be well-verse with the type of daily care and nutrition your pet baby needs.

      It's no secret and it's already being backed by Science that having pets around has a number of benefits to one's health. Some of which include companionship, exercise partner, travel buddy, and service animal. Moreover, having pets as part of your family is a great way to teach youngsters about being responsible. The best thing that a pet may benefit for someone is happiness which has no price!

Here are some of the lovable pet babies that I saw during the event:
