I was in Cagayan de Oro City for Mango Opening at Centrio Ayala Mall. Right after the event my siblings came for dinner. We checked out the new opened Bigby's Cafe branch in Centrio Ayala too.  We ordered an meat and seafood platter since we are meat lovers (halata naman diba? lol). This platter has grilled pork belly, grilled chicken, Calamares (squid) and rice. Look at their happy faces. Haha it's priceless! Siblings time is LOVE. How about you?

I was about to refuse because I'm not dressed appropriately for  the event, but since I was introduced to the owner I agreed to try it. Civet coffee is the most expensive coffee in the world.
