The Grilled Pieces are Back at Bigby’s Cafe and Restaurant
I’m doing it again. Even though I promised myself that I won’t be super sell out as a blogger, I decided to sell out on Food and Cooking to support local brands, and c’mon, who doesn’t like to eat? I’m going to Bigby’s Cafe and Restaurant. This time I’m promoting Bigby’s “The Grill is Back” campaign which was held last Friday, September 14, at SM City Davao, Ecoland. Bigby’s Restaurant has been one of my family’s favorite restaurants, especially when I was still in college. I even celebrated my 19th birthday there. I just love their food, especially their bestsellers. After 2010, I think Bigby’s became more mainstream to cater…

The All-New Antonio’s Progressive Filipino Fare
One of Davao’s favorite restaurants, Antonio’s Bar and Grill just recently relaunched with a new concept. From Antonio’s Bar and Grill, they renamed it to Antonio’s Progressive Filipino Fare. Almost everything is new–from the restaurant look–lighting, design, to the dishes they offer. Of course, their classic dishes Bulalo, Pinapatok na Manok, Krispy Pata, and Lechon Kawali are there to stay–but improved. “As a Blue Post Group Restaurant Concept, we need to keep Antonio’s Bar and Grill exciting and relevant to our customers. We had a good twelve years operating Antonio’s Bar and Grill and a chunk of our knowledge in the restaurant industry we owe to Antonio’s. The rebranding is…

The New Davao Famous Restaurant: Nothing Beats Old Skool
You know that I don’t just promote brands and establishments, but the New Davao Famous Restaurant is really worth blogging about. They never changed; they still offer the best Chinese dishes around the city. However, due to the fast urbanization and progress of Davao City, old restaurants like them seem to be out of place. Malls made it quite hard for old businesses to thrive, but the New Davao Famous didn’t give up. They improved their main branch in Magsaysay St., and now they have just opened their second branch in Matina, fronting Matina IT Park. Here are some of the classic dishes they served us: READ MORE: My Foodtrips…

My Herb and Butter-basted Steak Recipe
Although many of our friends say that I and my family are meat eaters (they said that we eat more meat than the typical household), we rarely make steak. It wasn’t just embedded into our culture and tradition as a family. However, I’ve been wanting to do so ever since. Hence, I tried cooking my own herb and butter-basted steak recipe. If you’re the type who likes medium-rare steak, then this is not my recipe. My family, except for myself, is used to well done, if not more. Hence, this herb and butter-basted steak recipe is stir-fried to its maximum cooking, or else my family would not eat it. Now,…

Korean Food Craze: Kimchi
Update: This restaurant is already closed. I have tried every Korean restaurant here in Davao City. I believe that they’re incomparable to the restaurants in Seoul, or maybe in the Southern and more remote areas in Korea where the natives claim the best and most authentic Korean dishes can be found. However, I now proclaim that I’m already loving the Korean dishes that the restaurants here in Davao serve. We Filipinos love salty. Most of us are used to putting flavors or to be specific, monosodium glutamate (magic savor, ajinomoto) in our dishes. Albeit that fact, it’s amazing that Korean and Japanese restaurants actually sell here. Well then again, it’s…
