Davao Delicious

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 [...]

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 [...]

I remember when Marina Tuna Seafood Market & Restaurant 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 [...]

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! Another proud 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 [...]

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, [...]

I have always loved Mediterranean food. And I am a food blogger who uses WordPress. Imagine my delight seeing a video blog post of Mr. WordPress himself, cooking a Greek delicacy! It’s called Tsatziki — a cucumber-garlic-yogurt dip that’s great with pita bread or even good ol’ Doritos. Here are the ingredients: 2 cups pressed [...]

One year ago on this day, I installed WordPress and published my first post on Davao Delicious, my baby blog. And what a precocious baby it’s turned out to be! To my delight, DavaoDeli.com has done rather impressively in its first 12 months. It was the star of the Davao bloggers’ food trips in the [...]

They first made themselves known to Dabawenyos along J.P. Laurel Avenue, across from Landco Corporate Centre, beside Petron. Not long after, people began talking about their fantastic Filipino fare. Then they transferred to the Pryce Business Park, beside another gas station, curiously enough. Can•teen (tagline: hauz of paksiw na buntot ng bariles) prides itself in [...]
