Mention Cebu and my tummy rumbles with the vast gastronomic opportunities it brings to mind. There's Lechon Cebu, Pochero, Balbacua, Larsian BBQ and a whole lot more.
And then there's Sutukil. It's straightforward method of cooking and is a combination of three words, which means three different types of cooking, particularly with fresh seafood.
“
Su” came from the word “
sugba,” which means, “to grill”. “
Tu” is branched from the word “
tuwa,” which means, “to stew”. Lastly, the most adventurous style is “
Kil,” which stands for “
kilaw”.

And to drum up the launch it held a celebrity cook off between Jericho Rosales and Mylene Dizon whipping up three specialty dishes done the SuTuKil way.
Mylene Dizon and partner, Chef Atong, prepared these sumptuous SuTuKil dishes and just by these photos you'd feel as if you've tasted them.

And there can only be one winner! Congrats Team Mylene (yes, I voted for them for Salmon is my ultimate favorite) for concocting a SuTuKil combo which the guests loved and voted more. It was also an opportunity for me to reconnect to the flavors of Cebu through one of its signature dishes - SuTuKil!
