Izakaya 【居酒屋】 /n/ tavern, pub; traditional Japanese bar. Nonki 【呑ん気】 /adj/ carefree, optimistic; happy-go-lucky. I don’t know exactly why the owners decided on the “Nonki” name, but one of the Japanese characters for it does carry the meaning for drinking, so… At any rate, I’m glad that we now have a branch of Nonki Japanese [...]

As I’ve mentioned in a couple of earlier blog posts, I absolutely love spicy food. That’s why I was very happy when a friend told me about Taste of Malaysia. They serve hot, spicy dishes that taste really yummy! When I first went there, it was just for drinks, although I did sample their Beef [...]

Davao City’s northern commercial district, centered around the Damosa area, has been rapidly developing these past few years. It is particularly encouraging to see the flourishing of food & beverage establishments in Damosa Gateway and Market Basket. And, one notable addition is a branch from a Cebu-based chain: Pino! Restaurant. Pino! is decidedly Filipino, with [...]

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.

I am all for Japanese cuisine, but I also love spicy food. I speak Nihongo and I have immersed myself in the Japanese culture since I was a kid, but when it comes to food, I sometimes cross the Sea of Japan to Korea. See, aside from wasabi there’s not much else that’s spicy in [...]

At the recently-opened Robinson’s commercial complex in Bajada, a refreshingly new brand of specialty restaurant has opened its shop doors to Davao’s diners. While Thai cuisine has already been in Davao for many years now, Bangkok Wok presents it in style. Doing away with the traditional Thai images we’ve gotten used to, Bangkok Wok is [...]

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 [...]

This restaurant has been around for a long time now, and it’s one of those that I enjoy each time I visit. The food — Filipino cuisine — is simply delicious. This restaurant is on its way to becoming a culinary institution in Davao City, what with their sumptuous Filipino fare.

This Middle Eastern restaurant has been around since last year — and has already undergone a major renovation — but it was only recently that I finally got around to dining at Turquoise Turkish Restaurant. The first time was several days ago when two Egyptians, who now live in Davao, brought me there after a [...]

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…

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 [...]
