Mocha Chip Avalanche
There’s a new cafe in town, and thus far, it is one of the best concept coffee shops I have seen. From the cafe’s interiors, to it’s menu items, there is almost nothing to frown about at Coffee Cat.
Coffee Jelly Avalanche
During the cafe’s opening on May 8, 2009, I got to try out their Coffee Jelly Avalanche which did not disappoint. It had a very creamy texture with liberal amounts of coffee jelly. It was a bit sweeter than I would like but it was an enjoyable drink, nonetheless. It is a must-try for those who like their coffee a bit sweet. On my second visit (less than a week after), I tried their Mocha Chip Avalanche. It was a little less sweeter, a bit more bitter, but with the same creamy smooth texture peppered with mocha chips. It was a very refreshing drink that hot summer afternoon.

By now, you’ve probably heard that one of the unintended highlights of the Davao FAT was the uber sweet marriage proposal of Kuya Jay to Ate Aileen. It all happened amidst the excitement and anxiety of riding Asia’s longest, highest, and fastest zipline… the Xcelerator at Outland Adventure.
Fish Curry (P160)
The Davao Bloggers once again visited Taj Minar, this time to try out their many curry dishes.
Papadam (P50), Samosas (P60)
We started out the meal with some savory appetizers that really made us want more Indian food.
Filipino home-cooking is common and easy to find, so it’s hard to find one that really impresses one’s palate. Mamu’s Restobar has the look and feel, the ambiance of a fine dining restaurant. Their menu, however, consists of Filipino dishes and recipes cooked and served with a twist.
A few minutes boat ride away from Davao City is the still being constructed but already open Blue Jaz Beach Resort which boasts of a wide beach frontage, swimming pools, cottages, and water slides.
Last Sunday, I was at the Metro Card Club Davao to witness the first Poker Face Monthly Tournament. My friend, was one of those who won the satellite tournaments and was able to get a seat for last Sunday’s tournament. It was a looong tournament of 50 players. After three rounds, only 7 had been eliminated, including my friend.
