The day was perfect when I made the decision to purchase a twintub washing machine, as our old one is no longer functional. My two daughters and I went to the SM Appliance Store at SM City Davao. After making a purchase, my eldest daughter generously treated us to a meal at ToriYamu. She was craving Japanese BBQ, I was in the mood for Misu Ramen, and my youngest had a hankering for tempura.
My eldest daughter frequents this establishment and is familiar with its menu.
She wanted to CREATE HER OWN MEAL: Bacon Quail Egg BBQ and Bacon Asparagus BBQ are two of her favorite foods, plus her add-on rice and cold tea.
MAKE YOUR OWN MEAL PHp235
You have to select three types of BBQ. My daughter selected two Bacon Asparagus and one Bacon Quail Egg + a rice + FREE Ice Tea.
Due to my youngest daughter's tempura yearning, her Ate Mika placed an order for her Ebi Tempura.
EBI TEMPURA PHp280 4pcs
Due to the fact that she is quite hungry, she added rice and vegetable takoyaki.
VEGE TAKOYAKI 9pcs without cheese PHp198
Regarding my order, I opted for their Miso Chashu Ramen without Tamago since I wasn't in the mood for rice at the time.
TORIYAMU MISO CHASHU RAMEN without Tamago PHp360
Oh, and I couldn't resist getting some Octopus Takoyaki for myself. Of course, I didn't make my eldest daughter pay for it. I bought both the Vegetable (for my youngest daughter) and Octopus Takoyaki.
OCTOPUS TAKOYAKI without cheese 9pcs PHp238
The food is amazing! I really enjoy the ramen, and I even shared it with my two daughters. I enjoy the flavor of their Bacon Asparagus BBQ. Although their Ebi Tempura is satisfactory, their Takoyaki, particularly the vegetable one, is truly phenomenal!
The only thing I have to complain about is their staff. It would be nice if they greeted their customers with a smile. I get that their job can be exhausting, but it's important for them to be responsive to their customers' needs.
Overall, our dine-in experience is great because we all leave satisfied with our cravings.

The year 2024 has just come, which means that it is time for yet another year of making new unforgettable memories. Red Ribbon's ALL-NEW Round Dedication Cakes are tasty and special-looking centerpieces that everyone can enjoy. They are perfect for making any occasion unforgettable, whether it is a large event or a quiet moment in time of celebration.
The newly introduced Red Ribbon circular Dedication Cakes have circular designs that are more refined and sophisticated, making them perfect for any occasion. In addition, they have the same mouthwatering flavor that will undoubtedly entice those who are passionate about cakes and desserts to indulge and return for more. Delectable and aesthetically pleasing cakes enhance moments, and our new Round Dedication Cakes ensure that celebratory occasions are truly memorable.
This new Round Chocolate Dedication Cake features a delicious chocolate filling and icing, making it an excellent choice for festivities that are centered around chocolate. When it comes to occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays, this dependable and trustworthy flavor is a popular favorite, providing a chocolate-rich emphasis to the celebration.
After hearing numerous positive reviews of Red Ribbon's brand-new round dedication cake, I became interested in the cake. It's my youngest daughter's birthday, so I decided to purchase the cake online through FoodPanda.
RED RIBBON New Round Chocolate Dedication Cake
The selling price is set at PHp450. If you purchase it online through Food Panda, the price will be PHp527 (Davao City) plus the delivery fee.
I concur with the reviewers who have already sampled this New Red Ribbon Round Chocolate Dedication Cake, as it is incredibly delicious!
Alternately, you might go with the new Round Creamy Caramel Dedication Cake, which features a light and beautiful design with a sweet and smooth caramel flavor. This cake is made with soft vanilla chiffon and a rich caramel cream frosting. The caramel cake that melts in your tongue takes any sort of occasion to a higher level, giving you a reason to celebrate any kind of victory, no matter how big or how small.
Although I haven't had the chance to try the Caramel Cake, I can't provide a recommendation at this time. However, I highly suggest trying the New Round Chocolate Dedication Cake from Red Ribbon!
I recently had the opportunity to try the New Red Ribbon Round Creamy Caramel Dedication Cake. And yes, it tastes even better now. It has a pleasantly balanced flavor that is just right!
My mother really enjoys the taste and finds it to be much more delicious than the chocolate. Oh, we seem to have different preferences when it comes to taste. I recommend trying their creamy caramel as well, so you can compare and decide which one you like more.
These new cakes, which are both delicious and exquisitely constructed, are currently available at a selection of retailers. Orders can also be placed using the Red Ribbon app, the official website, or by calling their customer service number, which is 87777. You also have the option of placing an order through GrabFood and FoodPanda.
Thank you so much Red Ribbon Bakeshop and Stratworks Team. ð¥°❤️ð
I am thrilled to be a part of this campaign, as I truly believe that this brand enhances the flavor of our food. Indeed, I am referring to the Ajinomoto Sarsaya® Oyster Sauce.
Although I joined the challenge with some doubts about my cooking skills, I do enjoy cooking at home and following my mother's recipes. However, I still feel that I don't quite measure up to her level of expertise.
We were instructed to prepare a unique regional dish, requiring us to create a menu that reflects the flavors of our specific area.
Chicken Curry with Durian and Ajinomoto Sarsaya® Oyster Sauce was the first recipe I tried, but it wasn't good and wasn't the right choice. I think of another recipe that has "Tatak Davao" in it.
It's impressive how I still remember the recipe for Fried Paksiw na Isda, a delicious dish that combines elements from both my mother's side in Luzon and my father's side in Matalom, Leyte Visayas region. And I named the recipe Davao Fried Paksiw na Isda with Ajinomoto Sarsaya® Oyster Sauce.
I've come across numerous reviews about this place on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, and all of them have been overwhelmingly positive. Yes, I'm referring to JH Garden Cafe and Restaurant located at Coca-Cola Village Matina in Davao City.
I am grateful for the incredible experience of curating this content! Just when we thought the gloomy weather would never end, the sun has finally decided to grace us with its presence here in beautiful Davao City!
Begin the year with a delectable article on a fantastic food blog! I want to give a big shoutout to the incredible JH Garden Cafe & Restaurant for inviting me to be a part of this amazing campaign!
Attention all Dabawenyos! We have exciting news to share with you. A brand new branch has just opened at Coca-Cola Village!
PLACE
This place truly has it all. The place has a fantastic ambiance, perfect for those looking to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle of downtown Davao City.
STAFF
The staff is incredibly reliable and easy to approach. They go above and beyond to meet your needs and provide exceptional service.
FOOD
Let's dive into the delicious world of food. They offer a wide variety of delectable treats, including cakes, pastries, milktea and coffee.
They also offer a wide variety of food options on their menu.
Let me give you a brief introduction to JH Garden before I jump into my food review.
The JH Garden Secret Rooftop Cafe, situated at Juan Luna (behind Addu-Jacinto Gate), has launched its inaugural branch in 2019. It mainly caters to students.
There is now a new branch that opened in December 2023, providing a one-of-a-kind atmosphere that sets it apart from the original location. The services they provide cater to individuals in Classes A and B, with a particular focus on those working in the BPO industry. They also have the capacity to accommodate large gatherings and are open 24/7.
And I'm sure everyone is curious why it is called JH Garden.
"The family owner chose the name because all of their names start with J and H. Even though the second branch is now a franchise, it is still connected to the original owner who is a sole proprietor + general partnership"- Alpha Dela Cruz, JH Garden Admin
Now that we have covered the details about JH Garden, let's move on to our food review.
I understand that our taste preferences may differ, so this review is solely based on my personal palate. I hope this blog proves helpful in making your decision about visiting JH Garden.

The food served to us is truly exquisite, with a presentation that is simply outstanding!
I included emojis to represent JH Garden's highly recommended dishes and my personal verdict based on the food I've tried.
𥰠JH Highly recommend food
ð Food I've tasted and love it!
I absolutely adore their pizzadillas, especially the Herbed Chicken. It's simply divine! As a pasta lover, I opt for the delectable Pistachio Pesto Pasta. I really hope they don't overcook the linguine. It's so much tastier when the pasta is perfectly cooked.
The Creamy Pepper Beef is absolutely fantastic! There's just something about enjoying a piping hot dish that takes the deliciousness to a whole new level. Their Pasayan Espesyal is not overly salty, which is a pleasant surprise.
The price of the food is well worth it considering the quality and portion size.
Everyone has different tastes, so what I enjoy may not be to your liking. It's definitely worth a visit to their branch at Coca-Cola Village, Matina Davao City to form your own opinion.
