Davao Food Appreciation Tour
February 27th, 2008
As an offshoot of the very successful (despite naysayers) Davao Food Trip, The Usual Suspects is now preparing for the Davao Food Appreciation Tour, fondly called Davao FAT!
The Davao FAT will be a three day tour of Davao City that will center on food and eating. This will be held from March 14 - 16, 2008, in time for Araw ng Davao. Most meals during this event will be for free for all registered participants. It will surely be a yumtastic experience for bloggers from around the Philippines.
Avenida
February 15th, 2008
I am not a fan of bangus (milkfish). I don’t hate it, but I don’t eat it if not forced too. But the moment I tasted Avenida’s Bangus dish, I fell in love with it. The fish was not dry, it was flavorful. The tomatoes, onions, and other vegetables on top were delicious. YUM!

Aseya Bistro Orientale
February 3rd, 2008
I have been hearing a lot of positive things (mostly from Blogie) about Aseya Bistro Orientale even before we visited them for our Davao Bloggers’ Food Trip. Last Saturday night, our happy band of food-loving bloggers, went to Aseya to sample their Asian fusion dishes.
Our dinner was off to a good start when we were served with their unique Aseya Salad with Hoisin and Peanut Dressing (PhP90). The crunchy fresh vegetables went well with the crunchy kropok chips, and the thick dressing that had liberal amounts of sesame seeds. Gwing and I were eating the salad throughout the entire meal.
