Davao Delicious

A new look and feel!

That was how my food blog looked when it was born and up until a few hours ago. It was a very simple theme, but it did work for me while it lasted. And now…
I know, I know — I did say that I wouldn’t redesign Davao Delicious back in November. But, I found this [...]

This Middle Eastern restaurant has been around since last year — and has already undergone a major renovation — but it was only recently that I finally got around to dining at Turquoise Turkish Restaurant. The first time was several days ago when two Egyptians, who now live in Davao, brought me there after a [...]

Starting the year with good food

On the first of the year, I was at Eden Nature Park to celebrate the new year. The folks at Eden Nature Park sure know how to throw a party! And the buffet spread was an impressive smörgåsbord of meats, fish, salads and pasta. Starting 2009 with good food was a sure sign of wonderful [...]

This restaurant might be somewhat removed from your usual routes around Davao, but it’ll be well worth taking the trip to Mamu’s Resto•Bar. I was there for a lovely dinner with Andrew and Ria last Wednesday. And we were not disappointed.
There are few places in Davao City that offer excellent Filipino cooking amidst a classy [...]

明けましておめでとうございます！
Happy New Year!
タダクマ日本料理 [Tadakuma], a delightful Japanese restaurant that now has two branches in Davao City, is one of the places I go to for comfort food. You see, I absolutely worship Japanese cuisine, and the menu prices at this restaurant are surprisingly very reasonable, and the food is just gorgeous — hence, comfort food.

Wow! December’s turning out to be quite productive for Davao Delicious, isn’t it?? Well, the Christmas season is indeed a time for feasting, so I’ve been finding myself eating out a lot with friends this month.
When Gerry’s Grill opened two years ago, it made quite a splash in the local restaurant scene because it was [...]

It had been several times that I’d passed by this restaurant by myself, so I’d never walked in before now — I loathe dining alone because, for me, eating out is a social activity. So on Christmas Day, I resolved to finally give it a try and brought along two blogger friends to The Cafe [...]

To all my readers, I’d like to wish you a Merry Christmas! I hope that the holidays will bring you and your family good gastronomic cheer!
Yesterday, I received a delightful gift from my friends at Pepper & Peppers — an Iberian Chicken in all its fantastic deliciousness. Since my parents are away for the holidays [...]

Marina Tuna Seafood Market & Resto

I remember when Marina Tuna was just a small, unassuming eatery sitting along the highway in one of the sleepy parts of Davao City. But I can also recall how much my friends and I instantly loved their cooking, especially their deep-fried tail of tuna — so crunchy on the outside yet heavenly soft and [...]

Spirale Ristorante

Doubtless, the most common international cuisine present in Davao is Italian. In fact, many restaurant goers here probably don’t consider tortellini or cannelloni or linguine as foreign food anymore. Much less pizza!
So, another addition to Davao City’s collection of Italian restaurants is Spirale Ristorante, which opened about a couple of months ago. I was there [...]

The first time I ate at Karlyn’s was in March 2007, when I had barely started blogging about food in earnest. It was one of the first restaurants that I’d blogged about. Reading my old post over at AngDabawenyo.com, I remember how impressed I was with their food.
And I’m happy to say that a lot [...]

Doc Jaime is an Apple fanboy, and is my go-to guy for all things iPod. On his birthday, his friends got him not a cake but a box of 20 cup cakes that looked like the home screen of an iPod touch.
The cup cakes were created by Emily, the Cake Monster. On her site, she [...]
