Grand Men Seng

We had buffet lunch at Grand Men Seng a couple of months ago and I terribly enjoyed it. I think it costs 200 pesos per person so it's pretty affordable..

Their pasta was cooked perfectly, and I really enjoyed the veggie tempura. :D
Their humba as super tender and was super tasty. Their Morcon was suuuuppppeerrr yummy! It wasn't as tender as I would have hoped it to be, but it was really, really yummy!
Yep, that's me. My mouth is to full.Haha

Mamma Maria's Pizzeria Gen San

I visited Mamma Maria's Pizzeria again, because I looooved it the first time I dropped by. This is how it looks like from outside. It is located along Quirino avenue in Gen San. it is pretty easy to find. tricycle drivers know where it is.When you enter the place, you get to enjoy the wall murals of tourist spots in Italy. i find this to look very classy and quirky. A very nice touch.
We order a hawaiian pizza, and we could actually see the pizza man making our pizza. i loooved how i could actually watch him creating our pie from scratch. the owner says you could even get inside the kitchen and pose for the camera while pretending to make your own pizza.haha.cute
That is our HUGE thirty inch pie ready for the oven.. this is their second largest pizza. they also have a 63 inch pizza, the largest in the world. our 30 inch hawaiian pizza cost around 900 bucks. I think that was a fair deal considering it took us two days to finish (we took our leftovers out, ate it while drinking beer in other spots, and then i had it for midnight snack, and then again for breakfast, and i still did not finish it. i left it in the hotel room. sad.)


we also ordered some carbonara and bolognese pasta. both of which cost 99 pesos. very good deal. see hwo huge the pizza is compared to our plates, and te table. HUMONGOUS.

Krua Thai

My family and I ate at krua Thai a while back but i forgot to upload the photos. so i hope i remember the names of the dishes..haha. anyways,ill try..

We started off with a mango salad. i don't like anything with vinegar in it so i didn't try it.ick
This was my fave. Thai Spring rolls. I just love how sweet it is, plus i love that it has noodles inside. Carbo loading! haha. it is crunchy and is perfectly seasoned. i swear, if you go to Krua Thai without ordering this, I'mma go there and order it for ya
these are their pork spareribs. They are fried and they have been coated in a batter. I do not know how they do it, but their batter is really something different. when you slice into the spare ribs, the batter falls apart as if it is a shell. I dunno. I just like it. it is super crunchy
This was a chicken dish with cashew nuts. this is too yummy for words. seriously, i do not know how to describe it, it was THAT good.
This beef dish was super tender and was really savory. i liked it, all my brothers liked it as well. it came with a vinegary dipping sauce which i didnt like, but i didnt think this dish needed some sauce. it was perfectly fine on its own.
pad thai noodles are one of the msot popular thai dishes. so, we decided to try some of krua thai's version. it was wrapped in scrambled eggs which you had to break in the middle to get to the noodles. the noodles were sweet and salty and were really good. i think this is one of my favorite noodle dishes ever. (i dont like noodles that much)


finally we had black pepper fish. it was exactly that; fish with a lot of black pepper. i loooved it but that is probably because i love black pepper. if you don't like pepper, skip this dish

Krua Tahi is located at the metro lifestyle complex along f torres street davao city

Kim Chi Restaurant

there's this place i go to with my college friends every time we meet. its called Kim Chi or Somang and it is right beside Chowking Bajada, right across Victoria Plaza. the prices are a bit higher than we would normally spend but it satisfies our Korean cravings every time.

When you first arrive they give you six appetizers per table (each table sits four so if you come in a group of six, you get two tables and twelve appetizers) they gave us some (from the top left) sweet potato fritters, spring onions with chili sauce, kim chi, pickled water spinach and raddish, cucumber salad, and leek and ham omelet
We always order their bulgogi. We prefer their beef bulgogi, which is a sweet dish of soy sauce, beef tenderloin,sesame seeds, sesame oila nd brown sugar . however, it is always 'out of stock', so we ordered pork bulgogi instead. it is a totally different dish. it is spicy and has a lot of veggies. it is equally good though.
We also enjoy kim bap. it is like a maki roll but it has more fillings. theyhave sesame seeds,scrambled eggs, cucumber, kani, carrots, raddish, ham, and i forgot the other ingredient.haha
japche is another fave. I think it is made out of cassava noodles. it is kind of like a glutinous version of sotanghon (or Asian vermicelli) and has a sweet sauce. it comes with some meat, a lot of veggies, mushrooms,and egg. it is really super good
pajeun is another fave for people who do not like spicy food. it is basically a sdavory pancake made from cassava starch and has squid and other veggie sisnide. it has a soy dipping sauce.

Mom's Birthday Cake from KaeKae

My Mom celebrated her birthday a couple of months back and my friend KaeKae gave her this gorgeous cake from iCake (i think) im sure this was pretty expensive but i assured KaeKae that it was worth every penny. that cake was uber yummy. it had chocolate cake with a bubblegum flavored fondant.

Oh, and if you are wondering why the cake looks like that, well, my mom LOVES bags... plus she has bangs..so it actually kinda looks like my mom.haha. only, ahm, sweeter.hahaha

Thanks KaeKae!!!1
