Silogan Ni Gian: The 24-Hour Answer To Hunger

We discovered the place during my friends' wedding. Mr Kyme got out of work really late and was not able to make it to dinner. Since we had to accompany another friend home in the Talamban area, we chanced upon this half-full, still-open-at-10pm silog place in Talamban. I was too full from the wedding banquet, it was only Mr Kyme who got to eat there. He loved it, and it made its way up on our list. As a matter of fact, it is our best answer to questions on where to eat in Cebu City at 10pm and beyond without spending a fortune.

Since then, we've been looking for a chance to get back there again. The Talamban area is a bit far off from my southern abode and metro-based work. Fortunately, I have a friend there, and we were able to meet up with her one drizzling weekday night for dinner.

Since it is situated right outside of USC-TC, most of the people there are students. There are actually three branches of Silogan Ni Gian, but all of them are right within the Talamban area (as far as I know and based on what my Talamban-based friend says). 

I was (again!ugh!) unable to take a photo of the menu. However, you can be assured that they offer the silog meals at lesser prices than the other silog places in town. After all, they cater to students on a daily (if not hourly) basis. 

Anyway, we had the following for dinner that night.

Mr Kyme's Burger (Patty) Silog

Sinigang (Rice) & Itlog

Sardinas (for my friend)

Bicol Express

Mr Kyme had the burger (patty) silog. It is the same thing he had the first time we were there. I think that speaks for how much he liked it. I got a taste of it, and the patty was really good. I had the bicol express silog. It was good enough for the price I paid for, and the same thing can be said for my friend's sardines silog. 

Although there is not a lot of extraordinary things about Silogan ni Gian, there are more than a couple of good things about it. For one, every silog meal falls easily within one's budget. Whether you are a student or a yuppie on ting-bitay mode, this is the perfect way to get something appetizing down your hungry tummy. Next is the store hours. Silogan ni Gian opens its doors 24/7. No need to worry about late dinners and the likes. Another good thing is how accessible the silogan is. Two of its branches are right across the gates of USC-TC while the third one is located near Bright Academy in Banilad.

Because EatCebu aims to provide answers to a Cebuano's hunger (and related questions), it aims to provide reviews not only of the restaurants in the metro but also the other interesting dining places the city has to offer. Silogan ni Gian is just one of them. Watch out for more!
