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! So, another addition to Davao City’s collection of Italian restaurants is Spirale Ristorante, which opened about a couple of months ago. I was [...]

My friends and I had a sumptuous Italian meal last night, and I’d like to share one of the photos I took at that restaurant (one of my ultimate favorite dining places). Can you guess the name of this pasta dish? If you think you can name it, just leave a comment on this post. [...]

Kangaroo Coffee Company launched last Saturday to a group of bloggers their specialty blend, Kape Balos. It’s civet coffee! How can I put this in a way that won’t make you feel queasy…? Well, it’s arguably the most expensive coffee in the world. That should tell you something about the quality and taste of this [...]

After a long spell, I’ve finally gotten around to eating at La Toscana again. The last time was last year! Check out my post about this Italian restaurant at my Davao blog, Ang Dabawenyo. Together with some friends, I had a sumptuous dinner at La Toscana the other day. We had tons of pasta! Check [...]

At the 5th floor of Gaisano South Citimall in downtown Davao is a simple little coffee shop called Prego Café. I rarely go there because it’s almost never along my usual routes, but I enjoy each visit. Yesterday I had to go to CD-R King in Gaisano South (the other outlet in Davao is always [...]

Here’s a toast to Davao’s coolest Italian bistro: Salutti! The name might suggest Italian cuisine, but Salutti in fact serves fusion food — traditional Italian fare recreated into modern, adventurous and delectable dishes. It’s a small affair, but a very cozy, well-appointed and refreshing addition to Davao’s restaurant scene. I highly recommend the place for [...]

A number of coffee shops have opened in Davao this year, but none that have truly caught my attention as Fagioli Coffee Club has. On the way to the Waterfront Insular Hotel one night, I noticed the new, big yellow sign along J.P. Laurel avenue, and the huge glass panels of the café. Good, I [...]

I thought that it would be fitting to have Basti’s Brew as my first feature here, this coffee shop being my favorite and my usual haunt. In fact I’m right there while I blog this. As I’ve written before over at Ang Dabawenyo, Basti’s Brew Coffee Station at Victoria Plaza is probably the most successful [...]
