Californiaberry frozen yogurt

Posted 21 August 2010 by Blogie [shortlink]

Frozen yogurt is much better than ice cream because, without a doubt, it’s healthier. It has virtually no fat content and is low in calories — so it’s a guilt-free dessert. And yet, Californiaberry’s frozen yogurt offerings are an enjoyable, delectable delight! Their best sellers are the CB Special, which has fresh kiwi, mango and frozen strawberries.

Izakaya Nonki

Posted 9 July 2010 by Blogie [shortlink]

Izakaya 【居酒屋】 /n/ tavern, pub; traditional Japanese bar. Nonki 【呑ん気】 /adj/ carefree, optimistic; happy-go-lucky. I don’t know exactly why the owners decided on the “Nonki” name, but one of the Japanese characters for it does carry the meaning for drinking, so… At any rate, I’m glad that we now have a branch of Nonki Japanese [...]

Have a Taste of Malaysia!

Posted 2 Jul 2010 [shortlink]

As I’ve mentioned in a couple of earlier blog posts, I absolutely love spicy food. That’s why I was very happy when a friend told me about Taste of Malaysia. They serve hot, spicy dishes that taste really yummy! When I first went there, it was just for drinks, although I did sample their Beef [...]

I’ve long wanted to create a special space on Davao Delicious to feature restaurants (as well as coffee shops, eateries, etc.) that I’d already blogged about. And now I’ve finally gotten around to doing so! What do you think of my new “When in Davao…” widget on the sidebar? For now, the purpose of the [...]

Pino!

Posted 21 Apr 2010 [shortlink]

Davao City’s northern commercial district, centered around the Damosa area, has been rapidly developing these past few years. It is particularly encouraging to see the flourishing of food & beverage establishments in Damosa Gateway and Market Basket. And, one notable addition is a branch from a Cebu-based chain: Pino! Restaurant. Pino! is decidedly Filipino, with [...]

Vianda Buena

Posted 1 Jul 2009 [shortlink]

It’s so great to unwind and settle for a dining place that’s inexpensive, laid back and unpretentious, but without having to sacrifice quality or taste. That’s how I feel about this new place in Barrio Obrero, Vianda Buena. The proprietors — my friends Ahbet, Rikki and Hubert — call it their “sosyal na carinderia“. It’s [...]

Grub Resto•Café

You will surely love their large portions and the tastiness of their dishes. The Dino Chops that I had was humongous! But more than that, it was prepared lovingly with finely-chopped parsley and golden garlic. It comes with brown rice, but I think you can order a side of mashed potatoes instead.

I am all for Japanese cuisine, but I also love spicy food. I speak Nihongo and I have immersed myself in the Japanese culture since I was a kid, but when it comes to food, I sometimes cross the Sea of Japan to Korea. See, aside from wasabi there’s not much else that’s spicy in [...]

Bangkok Wok

Posted 12 May 2009 [shortlink]

At the recently-opened Robinson’s commercial complex in Bajada, a refreshingly new brand of specialty restaurant has opened its shop doors to Davao’s diners. While Thai cuisine has already been in Davao for many years now, Bangkok Wok presents it in style. Doing away with the traditional Thai images we’ve gotten used to, Bangkok Wok is [...]
