DAVAO CITY ROXAS NIGHT MARKET | THE PLACE TO BE

Barbecue, potato chips on a stick, fried ice cream, grilled squid, popcorn!

These are just some of the delicious food you can find at Davao City's famous Roxas Night Market

After a very unfortunate bombing incident that happened in September 2016, the night market is better than ever thanks to the good governance of the city's officials.

Here's a video I made shot at Roxas Night Market during one of me and the husband's date nights. We personally love going to that place because we love to support local and small entrepreneurs and of course, FOOD FOOD and more FOOD

Check it out now waiting for you to watch on my Youtube Channel

Food Trip: Master Bong Korean Chicken

My husband and I were in Gaisano Mall the other night to buy some groceries. It was around 6 ish in the evening when we arrived at the mall so we decided to eat first before heading to the grocery section.

We didn't want the usual so we headed to the food court and discovered a new stall right at the new annex of the 4th level of GMall - MASTER BONG KOREAN CHICKEN

The Menu

Waiting for our orders

My Husband's order - Beef BIBIMBAP

My Order - Soy Garlic Chicken

Their meals already came with free Iced Tea. Not bad

What I also like about their chicken meals is that you have the option of spicyness level - MILD, SPICY and SUPER SPICY

I chose MILD just to have a feel of how MILD spicy is. Maybe I can level up next time when I go back :)

Verdict: I enjoyed my Soy Garlic Chicken and it wasn't that expensive. I was not able to try my husband's food but I think he liked his order as well.

Master Bong Korean Chicken is located at the Food Court 4th Level of Gaisano Mall of Davao, Bajada, Davao City.

XOXO,

Food Trip: Boodle Fight sa Dabaw

Our boss treated us to dinner at Boodle Fight sa Dabaw yesterday. And boy was it good! It was my second time there and it was also my second time to be satisfied with the food and service of the restaurant.

Just to give you an idea, BOODLE FIGHT is a style of eating that became a tradition among Philippine military men and women wherein food was placed on top of a long banana leaf and placed on a long table as well. Together, they eat the food using their bare hands.

Here are some snapshots I took

Boodle Fight sa Dabaw is situated right inside the Flying V Gasoline station almost fronting the Davao International Airport.

Signage outside

At the door... surely this place won't be a problem to find.

Their menu that's posted on the wall. We got the BF set for 10 which was P 1,500. BF stands for BOODLE FIGHT.

A tarp that's posted on the wall where people could give their short reviews about their BF experience.

The owner personally served us the food.

First, rice was placed on top of the banana leaf and distributed at the middle.

Hello Dave! He's pretty excited to eat =)

MILITARY INSPIRED DECORATIONS - to give a military feel to the restaurant

MORE FOOD................

Soup... while waiting for the owner to bring the viands.

Pork on the left side of the boodle... well, at my point of view. Haha.

Then beef steak on the right side.

Fish (Panga) - 5 of these were served. One per pair I guess. =) (this is my favorite!)

Chicken was served too. Four pieces were given to us.

FIGHT!

The aftermath. I think we won. Haha!

Satisfied girl right here =)

If you see this on the tarp, that was me who wrote it.

Drinks were separately sold. I was unable to ask how much though. Oh, and too bad there were no crabs during my two visits. So the owner served shrimps instead.

Am I coming back? Yes! Do I recommend this place? Yes!

One thing that's great about this place though is that it's close to the airport so Davao peeps can bring their guests from out of town upon arrival or before leaving Davao to the restaurant to give them this great Boodle Fight experience.

Don't forget to wash your hands!

Boodle Fight sa Dabaw is located inside Flying V Gasoline Station, Diversion Road, Fronting Francisco Bangoy International Airport.

XOXO,

Food Trip: Throwback Review of Paisano's Pizzeria in Hong Kong

Mark and I went to Hong Kong last year. Prior to our trip, I stumbled upon this blog about Paisano's Pizzeria on the internet.

I told my friend Olga, who currently works in Hong Kong, if she knew where that resto is situated. Good thing she did! So it was definitely part of our Day 1 itinerary.

I became very interested in trying out this place because of the HUGE pizza slices that they served. The blogger even said that it was really worth it. So if somebody said it was worth it, then it's worth a shot for me.

I actually mentioned this on my blog about our HK Trip but I never really said a lot about the resto.

and true enough... SLICES WERE REALLY HUGE! I barely even finished mine!

THE MENU

If ever you're in Hong Kong and wanna eat somewhere worth it, then this is definitely one of the places to go to. Include it in your itinerary I guarantee this place is worth it. It was worth it for me because the prices are already okay... and I am also a pizza fan. Hong Kong prices aren't the same as Philippine standards but this place is already okay plus the servings were already big.

Coming back? Oh yeah! If I go back to HK, I'm going back here for sure :)

XOXO,

Food Trip: Pastilan sa Ponce

I remember back in College, my friends and I would sometimes go to Pastilan sa Ponce and get our cheap fix of bbq with pastil in rice. Believe it or not, I could finish as much as 3 cups of rice - depending on how hungry I really am, especially after a very braindraining exam. Haha!

It has been 4 years since I last went back there. Up until a week ago when I decided to take my boyfriend Mark and show him where I used to eat back in college. Good thing he is an "anything goes" kind of guy. Off we went after one work day.

This is the so-called PASTIL RICE which I totally dig!

the staff there gave us this order slip to fill out - check out the prices. SO CHEAP!

Pork Bbq - 5 pesos per stick. And what I like about it is that they are generous with the serving. Some barbecue houses only serve very little pieces on a stick and they are priced more than Php 5.

EXTRA RICE PLEASE :)

Mark liked it there! Yeay! Definitely coming back when we have another episode of barbecue and pastil craving.

XOXO,

AVI
