Belly’s Grill
January 11th, 2008
As part of the Davao Bloggers’ Food Trip, we had a sumptuous and very satisfying free lunch at Belly’s Grill today. In attendance were Ria, Tiara, Winston, Maita, Bbboy, Andrew, and Gwing. Belly’s Grill became known for their tasty Grilled Scallops which I got to taste before. Unfortunately, there were no scallops today due to the bad weather. I know this because Celine, the owner, explained it to us. The owners who were so nice (but Celine’s husband was kinda shy), allowed us to order anything on the menu.
Special Kinilaw with Grilled Pork Bits
So for appetizers / viands we ordered their Special Kinilaw, Sisig, and Calamares. The Kinilaw was not “overcooked.” It had the right combination of vinegar, spices, fish, and pork. The sisig was good, not too spicy, and not too salty either, it was just right. Although Andrew thought it might have some liver, I didn’t taste any of it. The calamares also tasted great even when I didn’t dip it in the mayo-ketchup dipping sauce.

I’ve written more than enough about Lachi’s. Everybody knows it’s my favorite place in Davao City. Last night, I’ve had the pleasure of being treated to free dinner there by the proprietor, Mike and Melvin Aviles.
Let me share with you the photos of my wonderful free Christmas dinner there with some of my friends. For main course, we had Grilled Porkchop, Lechon Kawali, Stuffed Chicken with Pineapple Sauce, Unforgettable Grilled Pork Ribs, Laing, and Pork Marinara. For those new to the Lachi’s I recommend the Unforgettable Pork Ribs, and the Laing.
Oyster Omelette and Kiampong Rice
Last Saturday, I had dinner with some of The Usual Suspects and our special guest Ms. Aileen Apolo. Kuya Andrew, Migs, Aileen, and I went to the newly opened Red Moon Chinese Cuisine and Delicacies restaurant to have late dinner.
