It’s been over seven years since the last time I wrote on blogs. And sadly, my old blog (bluefire.i.ph) shut down last 2012.
Never mind my reminiscing, let’s talk about some best yet affordable restaurants in the wonderful city of Davao. Yes, my re-first blog would be about “food”.
For the recent years, I, together with my special friend have been roaming around and trying out new fun things - and that of course, includes tasting out the best cuisine in the city.
I’d like to start with my favorite…
Oh wow this is hard! I can’t even decide which one.
Hmmm, okay, I’ll just start with the recent restaurant we’ve tried:
The Backstage Cafe
It is located at A. Iñigo St., Bajada, Davao City (Near McDonald's Bajada Branch). This place is very open, diners are visible to passers-by, no aircon, and thick humidity. BUT people still flock here... for the food and service, not for the ambiance.
Food is great. You can choose from wide range of Lutong Bahay. They also serve Chicken and Pork barbecue. My personal favorites would be their Chicken Curry, Grilled Tuna, and Beef Steak. Their rice, unlike other toro-torong restaurants is perfectly cooked and still warm when served.
Service is also fast. During my first time eating here, I was shocked when the crews just put soft drinks and hot beef soup on our table. I was worried that they might bill as additional fee but I kept silent instead, knowing that if I complained, the owner might scold them (yes, the owner was there).
It was when we were billing out that we found out that they do serve free drinks and hot soup when you dine in. Of course, it's a great plus! Cheap food with free drinks? Why not!
You might be wondering about their prices. Well, it will only cost you 50.00php per serving and 10.00php for rice. Awesome, right?
Just remember that you are paying for the food here, not the ambiance.
