Argao in southern Cebu is home to some of the most distinct and enduring food traditions in the province. In this episode of Eat the City, we meet the people who continue to make the dishes that define this town. We begin with the maker of Argao’s well known torta, a recipe passed down from her mother and baked in an old oven that preserves its authentic taste. We also learn the story behind kinutil, a unique beverage shared during breakfast and during communal gatherings, offering both rest and connection within the community.
Stay with us until the end to learn more about the cacao business in Argao that showcases the huge potential of Filipino chocolate in the global scene.

Disclaimer: Our Cebu series was filmed several months before the recent typhoons and earthquakes that struck Cebu City and its neighboring towns. Our hearts go out to everyone affected by these natural disasters.
It’s often the most hardworking communities: the farmers, fishers, vendors, and daily wage earners, who are hit the hardest in times like these. They are the backbone of these beautiful places, and they need our support now more than ever. Every bit of help makes a difference, reach out to your local NGO and other trusted organizations for donations.
