With a new menu of culinary offerings ready, Banana Leaf Asian Café hosted an intimate dinner for a number of bloggers and journalists last 26 June. More than a year ago, I’d gone to that branch in Davao with some friends, but we were disappointed with the food and the service. This time, I believe [...]

This restaurant has long been in existence in Davao and in Cebu, and it’s actually one of the first that capitalized on fried chicken as a delicacy among Filipinos. Sunburst Fried Chicken is practically an institution already; sadly, though, it has not maintained its market dominance. Last night, I convinced my friend Alex to have [...]

Last night, we hosted another party for the bloggers of Davao at Casa Leticia. As usual, the people behind it were Ria (the indefatigable coordinator), Migs (always the emcee by default), Andrew (our dependable guy behind the scenes) and myself. Unfortunately, the fifth member of my intrepid team, Winston, was in Cebu and will be [...]

The first time this blog was nominated to Janette Toral’s Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs of 2008, I was rather surprised, because I hadn’t realized that Davao Delicious could gain so much readership in such a short span of time. Now the blog has been consistently at the top positions in the weekly charts since [...]

Coco’s turned out to be not what I had expected it to be. Formerly a so-so seafood restaurant called Regine’s, now it’s the closest to a sports bar Davao has to offer. I don’t know if the owners really meant it to be, but the place has that feel of a sports bar. They do [...]

The Marco Polo, Davao is incontestably the premier luxury hotel in Davao City to date. Naturally, they offer the best in fine-dining experiences — from Western fare at the Eagles Bar to Cantonese cuisine at the Lotus Court. And now, the newest addition to the Marco Polo’s culinary offerings is Polo Bistro. The allure of [...]

One of the Filipino foodstuffs that I will never refuse to eat when served is Lumpia Ubod, especially the fresh variety (as opposed to fried). Roughly translated: spring rolls. Lumpia = our version of the roll. Ubod = heart of palm (coconut) or bamboo shoots. Yum!! So, here’s a recipe I got from a friend [...]

I’ve been eating out for dinner everyday since last week, so I thought I’d do a restaurant roundup, a review of sorts. I went back to the various restaurants I’ve already tried, so I could sample dishes I hadn’t yet tried. Caffé Viveré. I actually haven’t blogged about this place yet (but I should have [...]

The first time I had a meal at Honeybear Chicken House, I wasn’t overly impressed, as I’d previously written on AngDabawenyo.com nearly a year ago. But, last month, when the bloggers were treated to a dinner by proprietor, Emmylou Yee, it was a veritable feast! And I’m not just talking about the fiesta-sized amounts of [...]

Part of the Davao Food Appreciation Tour (“DavaoFAT”), an event I’d concocted to help promote Davao restaurants, was a showcase of cakes and silvanas by Sugar Munch. It was a perfect way to end Day #2 of DavaoFAT — a cornucopia of heavenly pastries! The bloggers were given several boxes of cakes and some rolls [...]

The Davao Food Appreciation Tour (DavaoFAT) is well underway — in fact, we’re on the second day now. As I write this, we’re at Kasagingán Kapehan. It’s a coffee shop, and they specialize in banana desserts. Our host let us order to our hearts’ delight (within limits, of course), so I was able to sample [...]

It was very welcome news when I heard that Bryan Bajado and his family had reopened their restaurant in Palm Village. A graduate of the esteemed Center for Culinary Arts and an accomplished chef, Bryan is well-known in Davao for his mouth-watering concoctions. Together with my friend, Rochelle Venuti of Swiss Deli, I was at [...]
