Tucked away in the small corner at the Lower Ground Floor of Gaisano Mall is Euro Cafe. This is a small diner that is part of Euro Baker, a bakery that sells fresh bread and pastries to patrons of the mall. I've been here several times for dinner but mainly come over here to sample their tasty cakes and desserts.

My mind still carries vivid thoughts of that tiny nook in Rizal St. that Zabadani used to call home. I didn't really hold high expectations from Zabadani then, especially since it emerged at a time wherein Davao went through what was basically a coffee shop craze (seriously, there were a chockload of coffee shops opening in nearly every part of the city). So... what could make Zabadani special? Zabadani at Gaisano Mall's The Peak Boy was I in for some surprise. The layered coffee they served were generous in portions and very affordable! It was the only one in Davao. And so, I was really thankful to my friend for introducing me to Zabadani. Ever since then, I've been a loyal patron and still is today. When I learned that Zabadani Cafe is opening a branch at the Peak in Gaisano Mall, I couldn't help but gleam with pride and joy knowing that I got to see how it started and grown to what it is today. The dedication that Wadi puts into every dish he serves to his customers is probably one reason why people keep coming back here. And they will no doubt create a new breed of customers as those who get to sample Zabadani's cuisine for the first time will surely get themselves hooked. Zabadani Menu If you haven't been to Zabadani Cafe at the Peak, be sure to visit them when you get the chance. They have an updated menu and you can also avail of new promos that Wadi, the owner, has in store for his patrons (esp. the loyal Zabbers!).
Last Sunday, I was able to visit the Go Nuts Donuts store in Gaisano Mall because I was craving for something sweet to munch on while waiting for the parents to finish doing the grocery. I must say that I got quite lucky during that visit because they had the Cookies & Cream donut that I always look for whenever I go to their store (but always seem to run out of stock). My nephew Andre quickly finished his share of donut, too, so he must’ve enjoyed it. We ordered one piece each for us – the Cookies N' Cream and Red Velvet Crumble donuts. The Cookies N' Cream donut is a loop donut topped with sweet vanilla and crunchy cookie crumbles for that irresistible flavor. I love anything cookies and cream, so it wasn’t surprising that I love it at first bite (ha!). Meanwhile, I got to have a bite of my nephew’s Red Velvet Crumble, too, and it was equally good! This Stuffit donut is topped with red velvet cake crumbles and comes with a rich Bavarian filling. Yup, yummy! Cookies N' Cream Red Velvet Crumble My other favorites at Go Nuts Donuts are Chocolate Cake Crumble, Chocolate Frost, Double Chocolate, Rocky Road, and the Peanut Butter Frost. Just the thought of these yummy donuts make my mouth water. And of course, I scored a hit with my nephew yet again. What about you? What’s your favorite Go Nuts Donut flavor?
Last Saturday, I set up a date with the boyf for a movie. Before going into the cinema, we decided to have dinner first as we intend to catch the last full show at Gaisano Mall. We had dinner at Pancake House and while this isn’t my first time to dine here, this is my first time to write a blog about my dining experience at their G-Mall branch. Last time I was at Pancake House, I’ve tried one of their set meals. I wanted to try something different this time so I went for one of their Hearty Mains & Healthy Dishes section on the menu. The Steamed Fish in Mintsai Sauce looked very tempting in the photo and I like having Asian herbs on my cream dory, so it looked like the perfect choice for me. Sure enough, the vegetable side and the fish itself was cooked to perfection. The sauce was very aromatic – I can tell it has garlic and ginger, two of my favorite herbs! The serving already comes with its own rice, so it is a complete meal that is fully satisfying for your belly. Meanwhile, E opted for the House Specials Set. The serving consists of a taco, meat spaghetti, and one piece chicken with gravy. To say the least, this was a truly hearty meal. I love the taco because the ingredients were fresh and there’s lots of cheese on top. I also liked the use of ground beef on the spaghetti sauce instead of the usual ground pork, which helped to bring a different kind of flavor that is quite savory to the palate. Ironically, I have been to Pancake House a few times but haven’t given their pancakes a try. That should be something for my next visit, right? I will look forward to that! What about you? What’s your favorite dish from Pancake House?
The National Museum in Butuan City houses some of the important archaeological finds in Butuan City and around the Caraga Region of the Philippines. The most important artifact of all are the parts of the Balanghai, also called Butuan Boats, which were discovered back in 1974.[1] Due to their significant historical and cultural importance, these prehistoric boats were declared a National Cultural Treasure.[2] scale model of the Balanghai A total of nine Balanghais were discovered dating from the 4th to 13th centuries AD.[1] These are evidence of a flourishing craft of boat building and the maritime culture and trade in the Philippines even before the arrival of the Spaniards in 1521. The exhibit at the museum shows three of the most important parts of a Balanghai. parts of a Balanghai Wingstem The wingstem connects and binds the edges of the keel (base of the boat) with the edges of the planks (side panels of the boat) using dowels (wooden nails). The wingstem also connects and binds the edges of the different layers of planks using dowels. The layers of wingstems form the pointed edges at the front and back of the boat. wingstem pointed edge of the wingstem top view of the wingstem side view of the wingstem Planks The planks form the sides of the boat. They are connected to the keel (base of the boat) using dowels (wooden nails). The edge of the planks and the keel are then connected and bound using a wingstem. Layers of planks are also held together with a wingstem. planks planks showing the dowels and dowel holes plank showing a lug and its two lashing holes Frame (Rib) The frames (ribs) are a series of curved stems of wood that runs perpendicular to the keel and planks. They support the structural integrity of the boat. The keel and planks have protruding parts called lugs, each of which has two lashing holes. The keel and planks are then mounted to the frames using ropes inserted through the lashing holes of the lugs and tied tightly around the frames. frame (rib) edge of the frame In addition to the Balanghai, different jars and ceramic wares from China are also on display. These shows the strong Pre-Hispanic trading relationship of the Philippines with China and the rest of Asia. Another section of the museum is dedicated to ethnographic items from the Higaonon, Tiruray, Mamanua and Bukidnon ethno-linguistic groups.[1] These artifacts provide a glimpse into the daily lives and culture of the indigenous people of Caraga. boat and tools used fr fishing in the Agusan Marsh tool used to make laksoy (local wine) agricultural tools more agricultural tools wooden coffins showing the burial tradition It was a short but meaningful visit to the National Museum in Butuan City. It gave me better understanding about the richness of the Pre-Hispanic Philippines. The exhibits are concrete evidence of a civilization that existed in the Philippines which the Spanish colonizers claimed did not exist. For a better appreciation of the Balanghais, you may also visit the Balanghai Shrine in Libertad, Butuan City where the first Balanghai discovered, a more complete one, is preserved. Another Balanghai is on display at the Maritime Hall of the National Museum in Manila. Another museum worth visiting is the Ayala Museum in Makati City which houses the Gold of Ancestors exhibit. The collection includes more than a thousand gold objects and ornaments pre-dating the arrival of the Spaniards in the 16th century.

I could name a few good Italian restaurants in the city. I am no connoisseur but my love for Italian cuisine has taken me to a few restaurants in the city offering this very same cuisine. When I am craving any Italian dish, I know exactly where to go. One of my recent favorites is Don Beppe Italian Ristorante. If you’re like me (who enjoys Italian dishes), chances are you’ve been here before. If not, then you don’t love Italian enough (ha!). There’s so much to love about Don Beppe. But I would like to point out three reasons that bring it to the top of my favorite Italian restos here in Davao: Superb food, warm service, and affordability. Superb Food I don’t really have a very big appetite but if I had a choice, I would’ve ordered more just to sample Don Beppe’s dishes. But here are some food shots on our recent trip to Don Beppe at Gaisano Mall, The Peak. Complementary: Breadsticks and Tomato Ragu Heavenly! Roma Beef Pizza Lasagna Warm Service I would like to emphasize the “warm” service over anything else because I really do feel like they have one of the most friendly staffs. As a bonus? Don Beppe himself will also serve a glass of champagne, which was absolutely delish! and amazing ambiance! Affordability Many of those who haven’t tried dining at Don Beppe were probably intimidated by it. Sure, locals have this misconception that dining in European restaurants, especially authentic ones, can be an expensive fare. Wrong! Food choices in Don Beppe range from PhP 150-PhP300, which is really quite affordable. And the best part? They offer good value. You get more than what you pay for. And I bet my money that the moment you’ve tasted Don Beppe’s offerings that you’d be willing to pay more than what’s actually on the menu (though I am not complaining). It is therefore a testament to the fact that you don’t have to break your bank in order to taste good and authentic Italian food! Thank you, Don Beppe. :)
When in search of the best pasta in Davao, you can depend on Rego’s Café to deliver. Since a colleague introduced me to Rego’s, it has been my favorite and one of my go-to places to eat. It was located in Valencia Corporate Center in Arellano St. near Central Bank, which is outside our usual route, so getting there usually takes effort and planning beforehand. But this is something that we’d gladly take on just to experience their delectable pasta dishes. Hence, it was a welcome surprise when I saw the tarp on one of the then-under renovation spot at Gaisano Mall’s The Peak and it had Rego’s name on it. When we returned there last Friday, we realized that they’ve already opened. We did not think twice about dining there because it has been a while, too, since we last did. First off, I got to note the ambiance that looks very warm and playful. It somehow managed to recreate the same cozy atmosphere they had from their former and original branch. The meal started off with their Chicken Caesar & Cranberries. We ordered solo for PhP 130, which isn’t the best Caesar’s salad I had (which was surprising since I was blown away the last time I ordered this same salad from Leafy Green Things before) but the cranberries redeemed it for me. We also had Rego’s Porked Bellies for PhP 135. This is one of many value meals offered on their menu wherein you can also get a glass of iced tea to go with your order. And of course, you can’t go to Rego’s without trying out their pasta. I went with Merlot’s Pasta, which is priced at PhP 195 for a regular size (there's solo and family, too). This is my favorite part of the meal. The tanginess from the marinara sauce gave this dish a kick to it. Plus, the Hungarian sausage and basil helped render additional layers of flavor into the pasta dish. Rego's Porked Bellies Merlot's Pasta We went home full and satisfied that night. What a way to reward ourselves after a tiring work week! Note: Pardon the quality of the photos as they were taken only using my Nokia phone. I'll try to go back soon and get more quality photos!
