5th Mindanao Film Festival

This December, Mindanao filmmakers are once again conquering the silver screen with the Mindanao Film Festival. Now on its fifth year, the festival is bigger and better with more entries. Interesting ones.

Joining the Guerilla Filmmaking Category are:

  • Binangay (Gems Productions). A paean to the banana plantation worker who toils from sunrise to sundown, dedicated and honest individuals, unyielding even amidst a very tempting offer coming from a banana pilferer.
  • The Price of Fame (Maqer Media). A flamboyant and egotistical hip hop star finally meets his match in a short film that tackles fame and the pitfalls of paying its price.
  • Boluntaryo (Plasticups Productions). The story of a street educator, who gives up everything to satisfy his desire, not the worldly kind but a benevolent passion to serve his brethren amidst obstacles and adversities.

Brothers Burger with Cheese

Brothers Burger with Cheese

We’ve been obsessing about good burgers. And we have been very excited about the news that the Brothers Burger is opening a branch in Davao City. We were there during it’s first week, and we weren’t disappointed.

Although a bit pricery, I think we got good value for our money. The place is often crowded so getting your order might take some time, but once you take a bite of it, you will definitely not regret it. The Brothers Burger is priced at P105. In exchange, you get a thick piece of grilled 100% beef patty in with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup and mustard in between soft and yummy buns. You can add cheese to the burger by paying an extra P20.

Ok so I’m not sure if it’s Farfalla Pasta Bar or Farfalla Pasta & Bar. All I know is… they serve good food.

Farfalla is latest Italian restaurant in Davao City. And their unique offering is fresh pasta. But before we proceed to that, let me tell you about their awesome appetizers and soups.

Crostini

Crostini

My favorite thing to order for appetizer is Crostini and Bruschetta (P295). Farfalla offers a list of toppings from which you can choose a maximum of four to have with your bread. I’ve tried Anchovy and Tomato, Smoked Salmon and Goat Cheese, Cream Cheese and Spinach, Olive Tapenade, and Parma Ham and Cheese. I loved the Olive Tapenade and the Cream Cheese and Spinach, but my favorite is the Anchovy and Tomato. The saltiness of the anchovy contrast well with the fresh, sour taste of the tomatoes.

If you’re craving for fast dimsum or simple comfort Chinese food, there’s only one place to go to here in Davao City, Dimsum Diner. Not actually one place as there are dozens of branches in Davao City alone, but it’s definitely where people go to for dimsum.

Salt and Pepper Riblets

Salt and Pepper Riblets

When my friends and I are craving for a fast Chinese meal, we go to Dimsum Diner for some of their Bulad Rice, Salt and Pepper Riblets, and some dimsum. Their Siomai Supreme coupled with Humba Rice or plain steamed rice is a runaway winner to stave off your hunger any time of the day.
