Food Republic, Mabolo

Food Republic is a new hole in the wall resto serving affordable rice meals for as low as P99. They are located at #5 E-zone F. Cabahug Mabolo near Shakey's and infont of Citi Park Hotel. If you know where Rain Forest Park is, this place is located right beside it.

As we all know, Cebu is now booming with Eat-all-you-can restaurants where Cebuanos can now enjoy unlimited serving of their favorite dishes without paying too much. Food Republic is just one of the many food joints in Cebu that offers unlimited chicken for as low as P199. But wait, that's not all. For P199 you don't just get chicken wings, you also get chicken breasts, legs, thighs, ribs and more! And I'm sure not a lot of people like the wing part alone. This meal also comes with unlimited rice & unlimited fries.

They also offer P250 for unlimited chicken, spaghetti, fries & rice. For their bottomless iced tea I got a bit confused because during our visit their staff told us that bottomless iced tea is only P40 but their menu shows it's P75. We ordered 2 bottomless iced tea and they served us 2 pitchers. The other table got a pitcher for P50 and yet we were charged P80 for 2 pitchers. Haha! So I'm not sure.

We barely finished the 2nd pitcher and regretfully wished we only ordered 1. So to those who will be dining for 2.. JUST. ORDER. ONE. PITCHER. And I don't suggest drinking a lot of iced tea anyway because you'd only get full quicker making no room for the rest of the food. Also, because we had a lot to drink my bestie and I only managed to finish 1 set of chicken and 2 rounds of fries. I also just finished 2 cups rice because I'm on a diet. Haha, just kidding!

Another set please!

Last pitcher. Sayang ang P40 besh!

Aside from that they also offer P99 meals with unlimited rice. They also have shakes for P50. Here's their menu which I got from their FB page.

However, the place is surprisingly small and can get a little crowded. Their kitchen & cashier is located at the ground floor and you can dine on the second floor or outside. I find this set-up unsafe in case of kitchen fires then diners on the second floor would be trapped. I know, me and my wild imagination right? But you'll never know. It's always best to be cautious at all times. Their staircase has really small steps too and my friend & I almost slipped a few times while going up & down. Hoping they can expand soon, or move to a bigger location at least.

But overall, my best friend and I were happy with our food and experience. Staff were very attentive to our needs and they would proactively ask if you needed anything else. In fact, we are already planning our next visit here. We would definitely come back with our partners and a few more colleagues/friends.
