Island Grill Ayala Center Cebu

No this is not the Island Seafood in Ayala Cebu that offers the Boodle-Boodle thing. Island Grill belongs to my series of budget restaurants.  It has branches in I think all malls at their Food Court area. But this one here below is special to me because this was the favorite branch of my Nanay (my mother). She used to be conscious about her food, and she prefers veggies and fish to pork (although Adobo and Humba can never be absent on special occasions), that is why she had no soft spots for fast foods and would prefer restaurants like Island Grill.

Island Grill used to be part of the Food Court on the 4th level in Ayala Center Cebu, near the theaters, then they decided to move to have their own place in the same level. It can be found in the level above Kenny Rogers.

Their place is so small (like a hole in the wall). Surprisingly people still flocked to eat there. Ambiance is very informal.

We ordered our food here in this counter then we pay ...

You can have a choice from among Pork Liempo, Blue Marlin (Fish), Squid, Danggit (Fish), Chicken, Cebuano Chorizo, and Barbecue...

You choose and they will grill it...

Side dishes and desserts

Everyone's favorite - the Leche Flan...

 That's the whole array of menu here below...

The reason why Island Grill is very popular?  Look at the prices! And it is already a complete meal with rice. Softdrinks not included. Budget friendly and very easy on the pocket...

My order - Grilled Blue Marlin

Another favorites are  Bam-i and Pork Liempo

The reason why I like Island Grill is that they serve all time favorite home foods. They are also cheap. But of course to keep prices low, the facilities and food presentation are kept very simple... One can't expect much...
