My family and I have always been a fan of the Taiwanese restaurant Cloud 8 - originally from Cebu and now brought here. It is right in front of Cloud 9 on the little hill which gives a beautiful view of the beach and waves. We used to come here a lot especially when we were renting a villa closeby.
We have already tried their delectable and flavorful home made hand rolled dumplings, fried rice, chicken popcorn, egg drop soups, which to me are all comforting, unique and special, especially since there are so many different kinds of restaurants in General Luna in Siargao. It is the only authentic Taiwanese one that I know of here.
This occasion is the first time that we were able to try their desserts which we really fell in love with! Tala absolutely loved the Ube chocolate shaved ice 💜🤎with the handmade sweet potato rolls (YUMMY)!! The pom-pom bear dessert reminded me of Halo halo - but is totally different.
The nice thing about Taiwanese desserts too is that they are so different from the usual heavy sweets that are available out there for after meals (cakes, ice cream). They can be eaten even at night, in between meals, and especially on hot summer days!!! 🌞
We are definitely going back for more. I think both parents and kids on the island would love this! Give it...
