Visited Tops (Tops Skyline Garden) again a couple of days ago after more than four years of not having visited the place. Tops, as it is popularly called, remains the same - the same cold, fresh night air... the romantic ambiance that results to lovers hugging each other... the same starry night skies... and the same awesome view of the Metro Cebu area.
Enjoyed the place so much until my tummy knocked on my senses. It was already past 8 p.m. and the group had not eaten dinner yet. Immediately, I looked for some place to eat but except for the stall that sells EXPENSIVE barbecue, thin hotdogs that cost P30 each, and ngo hiong at overly EXPENSIVE price... I found none.
But I had to eat and so were my friends. Five of us munched on eight ngo hiong, five hotdogs, a few bottles of softdrinks, and much to our surprise, we ended up paying a whooping P760. A piece of double mint chewing gum that costs P1 on streets, costs P4 at TOPS.
This should be addressed by the management of TOPS. People get hungry and yet there is no decent food stall in the area. If you feel like eating, you have to contend yourself with the only store that sells bland yet overly priced foods.
At TOPS you surely will feel like drinking a bottle of beer to compliment the cold evening. But then, a bottle of San Mig Light costs P60. Whoa! We decided to hold on to our thirst until we got our way back to the city proper.
A tip for people who want to go to TOPS - there is no decent food store here so better pack some foods and drinks or buy them along the way, not inside the TOPS premises. And oh, it still costs P100 per head to get inside TOPS
Cebu is one the Visayan islands of the central Philippines. I am glad to know about this Cebu’s tops need upgrading. Hope that I will travel someday in this place.
