You are looking for a restaurant that offers a more upscale dining experience, aren't you?

I've been to a good number of restaurants in this city, and the majority of the ones I've been to focus more on providing a casual dining experience.

At Omertà Bistro & Lounge, you can expect a dining experience that is both elegant and relaxed at the same time. It is a location that absolutely must be tried, as the quality of the dining experience is just as important as the quality of the food. It is safe, provides wonderful service, and has a nice view of the surrounding area.

As I was invited to the Honor Philippines' exclusive media dinner event on March 4, I had the opportunity to sample their cuisine.

They provide us the following as a starter:

Pulpo Ala Gallega - it's an octopus with potatoes, garlic and paprika. It's a Galician Pulpo a la Gallega or Pulpo a Feira (a Galician term meaning "fair-style octopus") is a typical dish. It is the main dish of the city of Lugo's patron saint celebrations.
Calamares Fritos - seasoned fried squid and garlic aioli. Fried squid, or calamares fritos in Spanish, is a very popular appetizer or tapa in both Spain and the United States. This dish may also go by the name "Calamares a la Romana." In any case, it has become an immensely popular appetizer dish on restaurant menus worldwide.

We only get to eat one of these menus, so make it count. For my part, I'd choose to order the Pulpo Ala Gallega. It's not that I don't enjoy calamares; I just need to try something different. I really enjoy their appetizer of octopus, which is prepared to perfection. That's how soft it was.

We have a choice between Salmon with Mushroom Risotto and Baked Chicken for the main course.

Salmon with mushroom Risotto -Salmon fillets seasoned with oregano and fried to a golden crisp are served above a bed of risotto made with arborio rice, shiitake mushrooms, and white wine that has been toasted and slowly simmered with aromatics for an incredibly rich flavor and silky texture.
Baked Chicken - half-chicken, rosemary, truffle mashed potatoes. This meal really stands out and is great mixed into mashed potatoes!

BAKED CHICKEN

Try to guess what I've decided on. I agree with you! Baked Chicken. Why? In any case, I had a fast lunch at home that night before heading out to the event, and my entrée at that time was, you guessed it, a salmon fillet. This is why I choose chicken over fish.

This baked chicken dish is a great example of a hearty supper that I thoroughly appreciate. The baked chicken, mashed potatoes, and asparagus on top made a complete meal for one person.

And as a last course, the dessert is brought out. The Churros Con Tsokolate (PHp145) and the Omertà Truffle Chocolate Cake are the two appetizers that are brought to the table for us. And now we have to choose one more time.

The famous Omertà Truffle Chocolate Cake is my pick. I had already sampled their Churros way back in the year 2020; a buddy of mine offered for me to try their Churros, and they taste exactly the same as the Churros sold in the mall. And the Truffle Chocolate Cake, well, that just seems like a puzzle to me. Hence, I have no choice but to try it because I'm intrigued.

OMERTÀ TRUFFLE CHOCOLATE CAKE

To indulge in such a sumptuous and sinfully delicious cake would be the dream come true for any person who loves chocolate. The Omertà Truffle Chocolate Cake has an incredible flavor and an irresistible appeal. The combination of a moist chocolate cake, chocolate truffle filling, and chocolate frosting results in a show-stopping dessert that is not only decadent but also perfect for any kind of special occasion.

That's all I've got to say about Omertàs; this is just my honest opinion, but I've had nothing but good experiences there and can guarantee that you won't be disappointed with the meal, despite the hefty price tag.

Furthermore, the atmosphere is fantastic. These days, restaurants often provide a hybrid dining experience with both indoor and outdoor seating options. When you were in Davao City, you had to check it out.

Here are some of the pictures I got from their Facebook Page. Credit to Omertà Bistro & Lounge.

Again, As for me, I've enjoyed everything I've tried at Omertàs and can say without reservation that the exorbitant prices are well worth it.

Omertà Bistro & Lounge is located at the 7th floor Roof Deck, Bormaheco Bldg. 2, JP Laurel Ave., Davao City.

People often say that if you want to get to someone's heart, the quickest way to do so is through their stomach. The moment that many women who take care of their homes, particularly mothers, enter their kitchens, this is a statement that rings very true for them. When you take the time and make the effort to prepare something special for the people in your life who mean the most to you, you are rewarded with a feeling that cannot be adequately described by words alone. If you find yourself on the receiving end of someone else's selfless effort, the same advice should naturally apply to you.

There are times when even the most talented mothers find themselves at a loss for ideas in the kitchen. This is despite the fact that moms are true culinary masters. The good news is that Jolly is here to help our home cooks overcome that obstacle. Because it is the most popular brand of pre-packaged fruits and vegetables, Jolly brings a high level of convenience right into our kitchens by facilitating quick and simple access to fresh ingredients. This has been made possible on a consistent basis by the brand, which was established with the intention of releasing the creative potential of home cooks and assisting them in doing so in the kitchen. They do this by delivering freshly packaged fruits and vegetables to our pantries. Jolly has become the market leader in its industry as a result of the high quality of its products, which are also very convenient. This has made Jolly a popular choice among home cooks.

To provide evidence of this, we asked a few mothers to take on the challenge of making something unique for the people they care about by making use of some of Jolly's most popular products. Creamy Beef with Mushrooms is a traditional dish that Stephanie Lontoc of StefTheMomma shared with us. This dish is made with beef sirloin and Stephanie's go-to Jolly Mushrooms and Jolly Cream of Mushroom Soup!

If you want to wow your guests but don't want to spend too much time in the kitchen, this dish is ideal for you to make because it can be prepared and cooked in as little as thirty minutes! You'll need to watch her quick recipe here in order to get it.

Dyosa The Momma is yet another person who is a huge supporter of Tatak Jolly Love. For her, one of the things that she enjoys most about being able to cook meals for her family that are not only nutritious but also easy on their wallets is the fact that they are consistently well received. Pork Picadillo, which she makes frequently, is one of her go-to recipes because it is adaptable to a wide variety of settings.

The dish is visually appealing, has a short preparation time, and, most importantly, is both delicious and beneficial to one's health. Please visit this link to watch her cooking video

For the recipe, she used Jolly Premium Sliced Mushrooms, Jolly Green Peas, and Jolly Garbanzos to make sure that the dish is bursting with flavor and nutrition. More than the convenience and easy access to these ingredients, she also loves how Jolly makes everything easier for the budget.

“With a growing family, dapat mas mindful na tayo sa gastos. Kaya hindi dapat mahal ang delicious meals. Konting creativity lang, pwedeng i-level up ang delicious meal. Kapag nabibigay mo ang sarap at sustansya, yan ang Jolly Love.”

In the kitchen, versatility is another quality that is considered to be of utmost importance. Because you have quick and easy access to a wide variety of fresh ingredients, you will never run out of recipes to test out. This is demonstrated by The Peach Kitchen's creation of Ginataang Gulay using Jolly products, which serves as evidence. She shares, "Isa sa paraan natin ng pagpaparamdam ng pagmamahal natin sa pamilya natin ay ang pagluluto natin para sa kanila. Kaya naman as much as possible gusto natin na masarap at healthy, ang hinahanda natin para sa kanila."

Jolly is a brand that was developed by a family specifically for use by other families. Since the company's inception, it has been conscious of the fact that when it comes to demonstrating affection for one another, Filipino households communicate their feelings through the medium of food. It continues to fulfill its promise of empowering home cooks by expanding their creative potential in the kitchen through its extensive selection of products, and it is still the undisputed leading brand of freshly packed fruits, vegetables, and other pantry essentials. When you put your heart into every food that you make and when you never run out of ideas in the kitchen, that's when you know you've got #YanAngJollyLove!

The phrase "love is in the air" is commonly used to indicate the presence of a couple. When two individuals are interacting romantically, the air is said to be filled with love. What it says is exactly what it implies. If there are romantically involved people in the area, then love must be in the air. It's a sign that everything about the scene is tinged with romance.

Absolutely, without a doubt, the month of February is FULL OF LOVE. And to help you with your ideas for Valentine's Day, SM Deals is happy to celebrate the sweetest Valentine's Day dining deals just for you. These deals are only available for the month of February.

It is getting close to Valentine's Day, which means that time is running out for couples who want to have a romantic dinner on the actual day of Valentine's Day. Even though the focus of every relationship ought to be on each other at all times, there is much to be gained by taking pleasure in the company of your significant other while indulging in an assortment of delectable foods.

One can express their feelings for another through food. The act of sharing a meal with another person, regardless of the status of your relationship with that person, is a sign of affection. And it makes no difference if you celebrate it at home or if you order the food online: both are acceptable options. The most important thing is to celebrate it with the person you would most like to be with at that time.

Check out the following SM Deals that are available to you throughout the month of love:

And for the Davao pepz, click link here SM Deals - SM City Ecoland and SM Lanang Premier

According to a well-known proverb, one can most easily win someone's affection by winning over their stomach. For this reason, rather than the traditional Valentine's Day gifts of flowers, balloons, and stuffed animals, we would prefer to celebrate Valentine's Day by going out to a romantic and gratifying supper with the people we care about the most.

You can make home-cooked meals as a more personal approach to demonstrate your love, but you can also order in from your significant other's favorite food locations and treat them to an exceptional meal for the ultimate at-home dinner date experience.

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!”

What are you waiting for? Add the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer to your holiday wishlist now. To know more about the product, visit the Breville website and follow their Facebook and Instagram pages.
