Peaceful Teriyakatsu Dining at Ila Puti
IT Park is not exactly known as a serene place. So if you are looking for somewhere quiet and peaceful to dine alone in IT Park, you are going to have a hard time finding one.Location
So I was happy to see that there was no crowd in Ila Puti. Ila Puti is located at I1 Building, Asiatown IT Park, Lahug, Cebu City. You can take a cab or jeepney. If you have your own car, there are a few parking spaces around the area.
The Food
Ila Puti serves Asian and fusion dishes. I’m no stranger to the place and often times, I order the Fusion Fillet or the Sizzling Crazy Gravy. Tonight however, I decided to try something new.

Anyway, I ordered the Teriyakatsu for only only P170. I didn’t order drinks but the waitress was kind enough to hand me a glass of water. The Teriyakatsu was verrrrryyyy good. Uber good, in fact. I was only disappointed that there were only a few pork bits in there. I could have devoured three or four servings to be honest. You can taste the egg, garlic and sauce and they blend very well.
I could say that I have a new favorite dish now. And it’s less expensive than the Sizzling Crazy Gravy that I usually order.
I was glad that they did put me in a corner so I could enjoy my dinner quietly too. I took my time toying with my phone while enjoying my yummy meal.
By the way, did I tell you that they don’t have the usual 10% service charge BUT their service is one of the best there is in Cebu? So tip generously. I did. And I will keep going back there.
As usual, I give Ila Puti 5/5 for their food, service, ambiance and courtesy. Location is 5/5 too.
