Aseya @ Humberto?s
2007-08-12 16:06:00 My brother Jake’s leaving for Manila already — moving up the corporate ladder — and so the family had a despedida dinner for him last night. I was delighted that Mom decided on Aseya, that Asian fusion restaurant in Humbert o’s Hotel. I’d already tried their sumptuous Thai fare when they catered the launching of Suay ...
Bo?s Coffee Club
2007-08-11 08:23:00 The original franchise of Bo?s Coffee Club in Davao is at SM City. It?s on the ground floor of the mall, right in the middle of the walkway and near the atrium.

Mam Bebs Bakeshop
2007-07-23 21:25:00 When I was in high school, La Suerte Bakeshop was one of the places where we — friends, family members — would pass by on the way to or from school. It was right in front of the Ateneo high school campus, after all. But more than that, they always served delightful pastries. And, boy, ... More About: Kesh
Barbecue craze
2007-07-14 11:41:00 I read in Matt Mullenweg’s bio that he loves going around the world sampling barbecued foods and comparing them to his native Texas’ own variety. Well then, he should come to Davao and see how our grilled tuna and other barbecue offerings stand up to “the gold standard of Texas BBQ.” In fact we did invite ...

Sagay @ Casa Leticia
2007-07-09 13:09:00 I was just blogging about Karl’s (my previous post), and I realized I hadn’t written about this coffee shop / restaurant where I am now! It’s called Saga y (named after a place on Negros island, near Bacolod), Casa Leticia’s lobby restaurant. The food here is influenced by the owner’s Ilonggo roots. Try their kansi — ...
Karl?s Koffee Korner
2007-07-09 12:39:00 Karl's Koffee Korner in Buhangin is a comfortable cafe that offers a relaxing ambience and a friendly atmosphere. Their coffee brews aren't all that great, but it'll do if you just lower your expectations.
Coffee @ Yellow Hauz
2007-07-08 06:32:00 Coffee @ Yell ow Hauz is a fabulous-looking cafe, situated in a quiet area of downtown Davao. It's chic and comfortable, but the coffee itself leaves a bit more to be desired. The food is OK, but they should also improve on their coffee brews. More About: Coffee , Yello

Election wrap-up
2007-05-20 13:00:00 Pretty soon the Comelec will be announcing the victors of the last Philippine elections. Namfrel Davao wrapped up its operations last Saturday, having canvassed almost 90% of the city’s 3,600+ poll precincts.

Go out and vote!
2007-05-13 09:21:00 Tomorrow, 14 May, Dabawenyos will once again go out and catapult into power our city’s and our country’s elected government officials. I hope that the turnout will be considerable, so that the populace will have enough confidence in whomever assumes public office. I have mixed feelings about this, though. I will go out and vote, definitely. ... More About: Vote
Davao cuisine photo tilt
2007-05-04 13:17:00 It has always tickled my fancy to write about food. While I have attempted this a few times in the past, I don’t think I’ve really gotten into the thing yet. For one, I have very limited cooking experience, and I sure know close to nothing when it comes to recipes and such. But, I ... More About: Photo , Gimmicks , Cuisine , Davao , Tilt
Kanto Bar @ MTS
2007-05-01 10:57:00 Whenever one of my Japanese friends invites me for a drink, he always asks to meet at one of the bars in Taboan, MTS. But the other night, he ‘discovered’ Kanto Bar, also at MTS. So last night, he asked that we meet there. I was pleasantly surprised at the major facelift that Kanto has ... More About: Reviews
Damosa: Davao?s new commercial center
2007-04-28 15:27:00 The Damosa area used to be a dusty, neglected-looking part of Davao , until recently. This part of Lanang was almost exclusively for warehouses and industrial-type buildings. When the Mindanao Kokusai Daigaku (Mindanao International College) along Mamay Road was established in 2002, its first batch of students found the area dreary and rather isolated. But things ...

La Toscana
2007-04-20 14:16:00 When it comes to pizza, my favorite in Davao has always been Picobello (5/F Gaisano South). But my friend — who happens to be an excellent chef — upbraided me for my “uneducated tastes” (in his opinion), and claimed that the pizza offerings at La Toscana are much better. So to prove his point, off ... More About: Reviews , Cana , Scan
Bankerohan Bridge is falling down
2007-04-13 10:14:00 Just when things were starting to look up for Davao, the bridge falls. Literally. Gov. Generoso Bridge (more popularly known as Bank erohan Bridge), after serving Davao for decades, cracked under the weight of the city?s steadily increasing vehicular traffic.

Easy living in Davao
2007-03-19 08:32:00 Being with a group of Manileño bloggers a couple of days made me realize that I overlook a few little things that make Davao such a livable place. The Japanese adjective is more apt: sumiyasui (easy to inhabit). More About: Living , Easy , Ving
Davao bloggers offline
2007-03-18 09:29:00 The party got off to a rather slow start due to some unforeseen glitches, but when it got going, boy, did we have fun!

Massage, anyone?
2007-03-02 07:01:01 A new acquaintance gave me an idea to blog about: massage places in Davao. While we were engaged in conversation, Austin asked me about the best place in Davao to get a massage.

Coffee shop poll
2007-02-27 06:57:01 In my old blog over at davaoenos.blogspot.com, I ran a poll called "Which is the best wifi café?" Well, here are the results after 41 votes.

Basti’s is usually a bustling place at that time of day, and this foreigner didn’t have a table, so he asked if he could ...
Welcome to my spanking new domain!
2007-02-22 06:53:01 After much thought, I finally decided to transfer my Davao blog to its very own domain: www.angdabawenyo.com. And I thought I’d change the name from The Davaoeños to the one you see on top of the page. I was resistant to move at first, because it seemed rather disloyal to just quit Blogger. But then ...
