Davao Delicious

You will surely love their large portions and the tastiness of their dishes. The Dino Chops that I had was humongous! But more than that, it was prepared lovingly with finely-chopped parsley and golden garlic. It comes with brown rice, but I think you can order a side of mashed potatoes instead.

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 [...]

I’ve been getting requests to write about caterers in Davao, so here’s something. One catering outfit that I’d recommend without hesitation is Leandro’s. They’ve been around for a long time now, and many families and companies trust their reliable services. I’ve used them a couple of times in the past, and I was satisfied with [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Casa Leticia is a cozy boutique hotel in downtown Davao. It is situated in the heart of the city and is near a mall, several banks and other business establishments. The hotel is also home to authentic Ilonggo cooking: welcome to Sagay Restaurant!

Lachi’s has been around for several years now, but I’ve never been there until tonight. Thanks to Ria, who brought three of “the usual suspects” to dinner, I’ve finally sampled their exquisite cooking. Ria got an item on her Christmas wish list fulfilled when Mike & Melvin Aviles, proprietors of Lachi’s, invited her and some [...]
