I had been craving for shabu-shabu and for food that I knew would not disappoint, so last night I invited a couple of good friends, Rodney and Chattee, to dinner at Tong Yang Shabu-Shabu & Grill. And what a sumptuous and hearty feast it was! We had the Samurai Set, which is good for two, [...]

As coffee shops go, Kopi Roti is a sure win. It has the benefit of having a franchiser who’ll certainly go to lengths to keep quality high and standards followed. And yet, it’s not a very expensive place in which to enjoy good coffee. Not cheap, but the prices aren’t like those of the more [...]

The WordCamp Philippines 2008 event was a big hit by all accounts. And I dare say, everyone was happy with Chow King and the Lauriat Shanghai lunch packs that they generously provided. (Thank you very much to Aileen Apolo for hooking us up with the chain!) To be honest, I’m not such a big fan [...]

I’ve been so busy with the planning and preparations for WordCamp Philippines 2008 — an international bloggers’ event which we will hold at the College of St. Benilde in Manila, and at Bryan’s Grill & Café here in Davao — that I haven’t had the chance (or the energy) to try out new restaurants in [...]

Continuing with the adventures of our two vacationing British friends, we brought them to Eden Nature Park last Sunday for sky-riding and fishing. I’m not a big lover of tilapia, which is all what you can catch at this mountain resort’s man-made lake. However, after gorging myself on what the resort’s grill had prepared for [...]

With its cobalt-blue lighting and intriguing name, the Blue Carabao Eatery stands out above the other karinderya joints on Sobrecarey St., Bo. Obrero, Davao City. I’d heard that they served a mean bulalo, so off I went to Blue Carabao for a spot of dinner. Turns out it’s Pochero (Bisaya style) and Hinalang that they [...]

Café Andessa — a quiet, out-of-the-way little restaurant that’s perfect for sharing a good meal with friends, close business associates, family. It’s pretty far from the Davao downtown area, but the place and the food are worth taking the trip for. At first glance, the restaurant’s design looks like a mountain cabin, what with all [...]
