Davao City's culinary scene is unparalleled. This is due to the fact that the Dabawenyos' traditional lifestyle has shaped their eating habits and the foods they enjoy most.




It is always exciting to visit a new location because it gives you the opportunity to completely submerge yourself in the local culture, people, and, of course, cuisine. This is the restaurant to visit if you are interested in tasting some of Davao's most well-known dishes but do not wish to engage in a great deal of gastronomic risk-taking at the same time. Here, I compiled a list of some of the most well-known dishes to eat here in Davao, so be sure to check them out!

Have you ever tasted the renowned KALDEROBO that is served in REKADO? This dish combines the Kaldereta and Adobo cooking methods into one. A one-of-a-kind flavor that you really must sample.


This was one of my favorite dishes when we dined at REKADO.


The Spanish ruled the Philippines for a long time. It makes sense that Davao would adopt a dish with Spanish and Filipino influences. Does TINY KITCHEN's AL A BASQUE CON PATATAS sound good to you? If you haven't, give it a shot.


This dish consists primarily of potatoes that have been cooked in a tomato-based sauce and then topped with shrimp and shellfish.


Super gigantic serving with this JURASSIC RIBS at OUT OF NOWHERE.


A large portion of big ribs grilled in a special beef barbecue sauce and served with rice and buttered corn on the cob.


And yes, Davao City was also colonized by the Japanese. That's why Dabawenyos are fond eating Japanese food served at Kaizen Restaurant.  The mantra of Kaizen Davao is continuous innovation; the kitchen team is constantly updating by creating new dishes that are consistent with the restaurant's concept of Japanese-inspired fusion cuisine. Just like this recipe, AL HAPONE. 


It's a bit messy to eat sandwich, but super yummy. Comprised of mouthwatering beef that has been sliced thinly and covered in melted cheese, ready to dissolve in your mouth.


If you are a verified Davao City resident, I'm sure you've tried Kuilans Foodhaus' cuisine.


This is one of Davao's finest regional specialties with their famous SIOPAO, perfect as a "pasalubong" (food memento) to take home or as a tasty treat for your hungry travelers.


And for refreshment, don't forget to visit FRESHKO and try their best of the best fruit shakes and frappe. I super loved their AVOCADO Shake!



Many attractive cafés and great restaurants in and around the city serve scrumptious traditional and foreign food. You can also pair your dinner with excellent wines, fruity drinks, and brews.

Therefore, if you are looking for something more authentic and native to the area, the following is a list of local delicacies in Davao that you should sample for yourself.

MADAYAW DABAW! See you here in Davao City! 

Everybody tends to put on a lot of weight during the holiday season because eating is such a big part of the celebrations. Because, let's be serious, have you ever truly enjoyed Christmas without going from one banquet to another? This is the one time of year when we feel extra carefree about what we eat.

What if, however, we told you that you do not have to give up eating healthily in order to make the most of the season? What's more, what if you discover that you can make your flavorful recipe in a matter of minutes right in your own kitchen?



The Smart Oven Air Fryer by Breville ought to be on the top of the Christmas wish list of every home cook in the world. As you make your way through the holiday season, this oven from a premium home brand can give you the best of both worlds in terms of flavor and the ease with which you can prepare meals. It is versatile, user-friendly, and very durable.




One of the many appealing features of the Smart Oven Air Fryer is the fact that it has ten different cooking functions, some of which allow you to prepare mouthwatering slow-cooked meals while others allow you to make crispy treats that will make your mouth water. You can quickly and easily make toast, baked goods, roasted meats, grilled foods, and of course, air fries, while reducing the amount of time spent cooking. This cooking companion in the kitchen is equipped with Dual Speed Convection, which speeds up the process of cooking by raising hotter air while simultaneously sinking colder air. The end result is a 30 percent reduction in the amount of time required for cooking when compared to conventional ovens and air fryers!

Richie Zamora, the vlogger behind The Pickiest Eater in the World makes a perfect case for this when he prepared a full spread of TV chow snacks for his family to enjoy in minutes. He shares, "All these amazing snacks were cooked in the air fryer with absolutely no oil. Everything was cooked to a beautiful crisp, but you don't even realize that they aren't deep fried." 

Let’s Eat Pare also showed how fast and easy it is to make restaurant-level fried crispy wings with Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer. In just 20 minutes, they were able to make a big batch of chicken wings in sour cream flavor! You can check out their recipe here if you want to try their version.

This Breville must-have for the kitchen is necessary for a number of reasons, including, naturally, the preparation of dishes that are healthier alternatives. When you fry food in the oven, the amount of oil used in the cooking process is cut down significantly, if not eliminated entirely. Because of this, you will take in fewer calories, which will help you avoid becoming overweight or obese. Because it uses air instead of oil, the Smart Oven Air Fryer allows you to cook food in a healthier way without compromising on the deliciousness of the food. This is demonstrated by Chef Beng, who used it to make a whole fried chicken prepared in the Filipino style.



“Normally, I will have this deep fried, but using an air fryer is apparently so much better as the chicken is amazingly crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. Not to mention, this is a way healthier process than deep frying.”

She also mentions that one of her favorite features of this Air Fryer is the precision it provides with regard to both the amount of time and the temperature. "All you have to do is press a function, and it will show you how long the cooking process will be and how high the temperature will be." This is made possible by Breville's Element IQ System, which is a patented intelligent algorithm that decides the ideal cooking environment for a variety of different cooking techniques. This makes it possible for Breville to do this.




The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer is definitely the kitchen partner to have this holiday season if you want to enjoy healthy, delicious meals minus the fuss. As Richie, Chef Beng, and Let’s Eat Pare say, respectively:

"The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer proves that cooking doesn't need to be greasy to be delicious, and preparing food with less guilt doesn't mean less flavors either."

“It has 10 cooking functions which makes it a value-for-money purchase. I totally love it and I highly recommend this smart kitchen appliance.”

“It’s the ultimate kitchen tool you need to put on your Christmas shopping list, pare!”

Everyone has to begin their journey somewhere, and many of the most successful business people came from very modest beginnings in their careers. The company that was founded by this entrepreneur was initially quite modest, but it has since expanded to include national brands.



Yesterday, on December 8, I was honored with an invitation to attend the blessing and opening of Freshko's twelfth branch, which is called Freshko La Estrella and is situated next to Alorica and Phoenix Gasoline Station in front of DCWD.




Marylou Gerondio, the owner, got her start in the industry from a P200 investment capital, by rooting through the merchandise in the racks of roadside convenience stores. Following that, she started selling her fruit shakes. When she decided to grow her business and become an exhibitor at a food bazaar, she took advantage of her existing network by spreading the word about the excellent quality of their service and also their fruit shakes through word of mouth.

Mrs. Marylou Gerondio with her husband Mr. Andrew Gerondio
THE OWNER



Gerondio admits that she did not have a real plan, but she was willing to take a chance in order to pursue something that she was passionate about. Because of this, she eventually became the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of the well-known fruit shake company in Davao City known as FRESHKO, which is on its way to becoming nationally recognized.







FRESHKO UNLI GRILL at the ROOFTOP

Thanks Joric Adventure



Dabawenyos can now get their hands on their brand-new UNLI GRILL for only P399, in addition to their natural and healthy regular fruit shakes, float shakes, peanuts, fish crackers, and other offerings.


Guests can help themselves to unlimited servings of pork, beef, chicken, sausage, rice, sauces, lettuce, fresh fruit, and a regular shake. This service is only available between the hours of 4pm and 2am, Monday through Sunday.

Watch video here:



What are you waiting for, head on at FRESHKO La Estrella branch now!


Prepare to gorge yourself on your favorite noodle dishes from Boat Noodle, the largest Thai street food vendor in Malaysia. You can pay for your orders in a secure and hassle-free manner by using the scan-to-pay option from GCash, the most popular electronic wallet in the country.



Newly opened Boat Noodle locations in SM Mall of Asia, SM Grand Central, and SM North EDSA will soon offer the ultra-quick and hassle-free GCash payment option to customers. These locations were recently given the green light to open for business. With Boat Noodles' 4+1 set, which costs P333.00, you can treat your loved ones to a delicious bowl of soup without breaking the bank.





Boat Noodles brings the ambiance of Bangkok streets and offers a variety of flavors and choices to satisfy every foodie's craving for Thai food, from the signature sweet-and-savory taste of Pad Thai to the authentic heat of Ayutthaya Noodle Soup. When you dine in, you can select from a variety of small plates, and when you're done, you can stack the bowls, as is traditional in Thailand. In addition, you get to watch the chefs as they prepare the food and drinks, which will engage all of your senses.

Because GCash supports cashless payment options, placing an order and paying for your go-to items will always be a breeze. Launch the GCash app on your smartphone, position the camera so that it can read the QR code on the business's sign, and you'll be good to go for a mouthwatering meal of authentic Thai cuisine.

Bench Group, a pioneering partner of GCash, is responsible for introducing another global food concept known as Boat Noodles to the United States. GCash gives more and more companies the ability to accept payments digitally, which helps facilitate the transition toward an ecosystem with less reliance on cash.

Not yet on the GCash platform? On both Google Play and the App Store, the GCash mobile app is available for free download.

After a long and stressful week, you definitely deserve a cup of coffee with a slice of carrot cake and an oatmeal cookie. I am grateful for the warm reception I received from the staff. It was a very enjoyable experience overall.




I judge a coffee shop not only on the quality of its coffee and pastries but also on the level of service it provides, and Green Coffee has impressed me, most likely due to the expertise of its entire team.

According to the ratings and reviews on the website Top Rated Online, Green Coffee is the third-best coffee shop in Davao City. Because I was intrigued, I made the effort to go see them at their Sobrecarey-Obrero branch.


I am in extreme awe of the location! The interior is kept simple, which is hip, and it is quite aesthetically pleasing to look at. Due to the fact that it is able to accommodate a huge number of customers, I believe that this is one of the largest Green Coffee branches, in addition to their recently opened branch in Lanang.


Excellent location for socializing with friends. However, I do not believe this will be an ideal location for business transactions, as it is conducive to studying and reviewing and becomes increasingly noisy as more students and reviewers gather.





The coffee, cakes, and cookies are all delicious and very reasonably priced. Additionally, their WiFi is of high quality, and a single connection can last for up to four hours (but you need to get a good spot). In addition to this, they provide electronic sockets in every possible location.

It has also wheelchair-accessible entrance.

Open from Monday to Sunday, 7am to 1am.

Located at the back of McDonald Bajada near Victoria Plaza. 


Piratebay

Isn't it true that everybody adores coffee? It's tasty, it can be used in a variety of different ways, and maybe most importantly, it gives you that kick! Because of this, it is currently one of the most well-liked steamed beverages available, and its appeal appears to be growing all the time.



If you are thinking about opening a mobile coffee shop, this would also be an excellent business to get into. The equipment required is far less than that required by other types of food trucks, which results in relatively high profit margins.

I happened to stop by what could be described as a mobile café that was located inside a lot on the street of Palm Village, N. Torres Street, BO Obrero, which is at the back of Abreeza Mall.




HID'N COFFEE SHOP is a type of mobile coffee shop that serves a variety of coffee beverages, ranging from a large-scale espresso to a more personal cup of espresso, to suit virtually any personal desire.


In addition to being an Instagrammable location, this coffee shop is an excellent choice for you if you are looking for a place to relax while reading some books or magazines or engaging in other activities of a similar nature. They offer baked goods that are unrivaled in terms of freshness, and their coffee is unparalleled in quality. Additionally, they have the most convenient access to coffee. This place of business has extremely experienced personnel, and the ambiance was really reassuring and comforting to be in. It was impossible for me to make any further demands because everything that I needed had already been taken care of for me. Well done, guys! Don't stop creating such delicious coffee and pastries!

AFFOGATO, Highly recommend!!!


Yes! I mean delicious coffee like what I've tasted in their AFFOGATO and their cookies, ANNA BANANA PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE.


The North Side's top-rated coffee spot is here. If you are in the area and have a hankering for some excellent coffee, this is the place to go.




I really like the atmosphere, as well as the fact that there is decent outdoor seating. The costs are reasonable and affordable. Why not give it a try?

Hid'n Coffee is open every day except Wednesday. From 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. 
@dancersraine Super love the ambiance here at Hid'n Cafe located at the back of Abreeza Mall. Try their #afrigatto and #annabanana peanut butter chocolate cookies.. Super lami kaayo! 😋🍪🍫🥜☕🍦#CapCut ♬ original sound - DancersRaine 🇵🇭
