Si Man Sisa, as in Duterte’s Store and Sisa’s Tableya, kadtong tindahan tupad sa kang Taling, corner Rizal ug Mabini, namatay na sab, mga duha na semana milabay. Sa naglakaw ang pangadye, all you can drink sikwate ang gidalit.
Human sa pagtambong nila sa Santos nga Misa, maoy ilang puntareya ang mga painitan nga anaa naglinya duol sa mga simbahan diin nagpaabot kanila ang budbod ug puto-maya nga nindot kaayo paresan og sikwati,[sic] o kape.

Before the Starbucks or even the 3-in-1 coffee frenzy created a stir, there was the traditional sikwate or chocolate drink for an early morning quick fix. […] This was made possible because of the influence of her grandmother, who taught her the ropes and showed her the tricks. More so, the mentoring went beyond the painstaking sikwate preparation of melting tablea in boiling water and continuously whisking the mixture using a batirol to create froth since Nanay Leonila Borgonia made a cacao planter and a tablea maker out of Raquel.
A constant in that buffet are coffee and sikwate, binignit (with ubeng tapul from Bohol), biko and banana turon. Other goodies could be linusak, minatamis na saging, tortang Cebuano, bibingka, ensaymada, empanada, siakoy (very hard to come by these days), fried camote slices, puto, maja blanca, kutsinta, arroz caldo, leche flan and maja blanca. The arroz caldo has, at its side, several condiments the guest can choose from to add to his basic broth: tuyo, luy-a (ginger), chicken, spring onions…whatever one adds, it’s bound to be delicious because the basic broth is already that—delicious.
