Carenderia Ni Eton: Must-Try Kan-Anan in Argao Cebu
Argao, the place I have been longing to tour because of its
beautiful cultural and heritage setting as well as its famous torta delicacy! I
finally set my feet on this beautiful place two weeks ago. Unlike other people,
I was not there during daytime. I was there at night time because a good friend
invited us to have a quick visit in their eating place. The transportation and
food expenses were free; so, who am I to “No” to that? Besides, I was vacant
that time so that’s why my answer was “Yes”.

If you visit Argao next time, you should try eating at Carenderia
Ni Eton. This is a restaurant managed by Robert Yap and is located near the main
road, in front of GD gasoline station. Carenderia Ni Eton was made out of Robert’s
love to his fallen police brother whose nickname was “Eton”. After the death
of his elder brother, he was left with all family responsibilities. He figured
he needed to do something about it in order to sustain the family’s needs. He
thought of starting a food business and thus the birth of Carenderia Ni Eton
food place.

The restaurant’s tagline is “Hapit Ug Mangaon Ta bai!” ("Come And
Let’s Eat" in english). Robert was very accommodating. He and his whole staff were
super friendly. They wore smiles all the time! They served us these very
delectable foods.
These were the foods we ate. You must try these, too! For
sure you will love the hot and mouth-watering pochero just like I did.
