I am so thankful to be part of the first-ever Kagay-an Experience Tour (KEX Tour) and get a chance to meet and bond with fellow bloggers coming from different places like Iligan City and bloggers from Manolo Fortich Bukidnon.

First Stop is at Bigby’s Café & Restaurant on the 4th floor of SM Cdo Downtown Premier. Though I wasn’t able to join since the schedule does not permit but the foods here are very delicious with huge serving, good for barkada and family.
Bigby’s Café and Restaurant is now located in major cities in the Visayas and Mindanao. It has a total of 8 branches located at Centrio Mall Cagayan de Oro City, SM City Cagayan de Oro, SM CDO Downtown Premier, Abreeza Mall Davao City, SM City Davao, Veranza Mall, General Santos City, Ayala Center Cebu, and SM City Cebu.
To know more about the restaurant, the Bigby’s Café Concept was first introduced in the city of Cagayan de Oro on December 8, 1998. Its creators came up with an idea of creating an atmosphere fit for an adventure into the different cuisines of the world. The menu, the interior design and service style were created to position the concept midway between fine dining and fast-casual dining. This format has developed into the Bigby’s Café and Restaurant System. For more info about their restaurants and food menu, kindly visit their official website at http://bigbyscafe.com.
Second Stop is at Cucina Higala, located in the heart of Cagayan de Oro City a classical Filipino cuisine that serves a Northern Mindanao heritage food with a modern taste. To know more about their menus, visit their website now at https://www.cucinahigala.com/
Third Stop at Pan e Dolci, their main product is Sylvannas – an original Filipino delicacy layered with salted buttercream sandwiched between two meringue wafers coated with cookie crumbs. Located at the corner of 12th and 21st Streets in Nazareth, CDO.
Sylvannas nowadays has been gaining popularity as a pasalubong among tourists, it comes with six different flavors (Classic, Nutella, Red Velvet, Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Ube). To know more about their products, you can visit and inquire to their FB page.
BOY ZUGBA
Fourth Stop is at Boy Zugba Corrales Street, Cagayan de Oro. A Kusina Bisaya that brought to us by the same group like Bigby’s Café & Restaurant, Missy Bon Bon, Frozen Factory, and the Nest takes things to the next level.
It has entertaining and funny Hugot lines that posted every corner in the restaurant that makes diner’s laugh and ponder.
