Hi @mers, it's nice to know you're from Cebu! I was born and raised in Cebu but it was only in college when I went to Cebu City and that was the first time I was exposed to Carbon Market.
We would buy the rice packed in the palm leaves and we would eat the famous chorizo or tocino of Cebu, all cooked and ready for lunch
Puso! You can still find it in Carbon and all over Cebu these days, nothing's changed! Still the go-to especially when families go to beach outings
The most that I always visited were the stores that sell handicrafts, bayong, baskets and natural fiber-made boxes, etc
For this one, still the same. There's still a portion of Carbon near USJR where handicrafts are displayed.
Have you heard about the news of Carbon's renovation? They're planning to modernize the market's design. https://www.rappler.com/nation/carbon-market-cebu-city-new-look-february-2021/
Yep, I learned about the modernization from my cousins from Guadalupe. The last time I visited Cebu was in 2019. So much have changed. I think I will visit again and hopefully the modernization will go through. Thanks for the link.
