Fagioli Coffee Club

Mocha Java Fagiogranita (PhP 90)
The number of restaurants and cafes sprouting everywhere in Davao City is proof of the city’s burgeoning food service industry. One of our recent discoveries is Fagioli Coffee Club. Fagioli is an import from General Santos City that opened a branch last December here in Lanang. I tried out their Mocha Java Fagiogranita and I loved it. The texture was great, it had a moderate amount of whipped cream but it was a tad sweeter than the usual Mocha drinks I drink.

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.

Pepper and Peppers
January 26th, 2008
The Davao Bloggers’ Food Trip continued today with our sojourn at Pepper and Peppers. And it was a most pleasant experience. Everyone in attendance, me, Kuya Andrew, Winston, and Blogie, were eager to try out their famous Iberian Chicken. But we got much, much more than that.
Salutti
January 21st, 2008
Last Saturday, Davao Bloggers were treated to a hearty treat as we visited Salutti as part of our Food Trip. This time there were new faces among the participants: couple Tere and Charles, Chikai, and Dulce. The Usual Suspects, Blogie, Ria, Winston, Kim, and Migs, and Food Tripper Tiara were also there to enjoy the goodness served by Salutti.

Cafe Americano
After a very satisfied customer commented in my blog and Winston’s blog, we decided to try out Tata Benito’s A Whole Latte Love . Upon entering the establishment, the owner immediately informed us that their WiFi service was down. But we weren’t deterred from trying out the place.

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.
