Davao Delicious

Bangkok Wok is a gem of a restaurant, offering Thai cuisine with an interesting Asian-fusion twist. It’s a perfect dining place for all occasions: be it a family gathering, a date, a power lunch among business associations. Enjoy their gastronomic offerings amid comfortable surroundings.

Antonio’s Bar & Grill has two restaurants in Davao City: the first one in SM City, the other and better-looking one in the new Metro Lifestyle commercial building on the corner of Jacinto Ext. and F. Torres St. The newer place is much more inviting and furnished like a stylish bistro. The comfortable tables and [...]

The chic yet cozy ambience, and the Australian-inspired touches… The tasty pasta and waffles (called “jaffles”)… The friendly and capable service… The heavenly coffee! All that, and a bit more, in one delightfully inspired package called Jose Rafael Fine Coffee. Their coffee brews are without equal in Davao!

One of my guilty pleasures is good coffee — that elixir of the gods. And that’s one of the rare reasons why I miss Metro Manila.

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 [...]

This unassuming Japanese restaurant is known for their ramen bowls, which are served in huge portions. There are so many to choose from, too! Their ingredients are top-notch and the preparation is decidedly authentic. Makes you wonder why they don’t charge more…
