    #DavaoFoodCrawl: Taichou Izakaya

    Tucked away in an easy-to-miss corner along D. Ponce Street, is a small, unassuming izakaya. Its signage isn’t as glaring as any other restaurant in the city. And if you’re not following the prescribed speed limit in the streets of Davao, you’ll easily go past the place. You can thank 7-11 for being there to…

    #DavaoFoodCrawl: Blah Blah Blah by Good Food Co.

    One of the more recent restaurants that has popped into the Davao food scene is Blah Blah Blah by The Good Co. The food is delish, that I can say right away. But it’s not your usual Western or Eastern cuisine. One can say that it’s fusion cuisine. I’d describe the food to be an expression…

    #DavaoFoodCrawl: Kitsune Japanese Casual Dining

    Stop #2 is at Kitsune Japanese Casual Dining. Kitsune is along Juna Avenue, Juna Subdivision.  The general area of Juna Subdivisions has gone through some kind of rebirth into a go-to food stop in the city. In some ways, Juna reminds me of Maginahawa in QC. There’s a place to eat in all the major…

    #DavaoFoodCrawl: Shatter Kebab + Hummus

    Davao City is filled with food spots. It’s a fact. And I’d say the same thing about any other city in any other place in the world. When you visit Davao City though, take time to explore the home grown, hole-in-the-wall restaurants around the city. There’s a lot, to be honest. If you’re coming back…
