Dining al fresco is not very popular in Davao City. Al fresco dining is usually reserved for restaurants specializing in barbeque and other grilled foods. But tucked away from downtown Davao is a restaurant that offers not just great Western food, but also a great al fresco ambiance.
My Top Three Choices for Free WiFi Access
July 23rd, 2007
I’ve been going around the city with my laptop, availing of free WiFi Access so I can constantly stalk people via Friendster. Kidding! Here’s my top three picks (in no particular order) for best free WiFi access in Davao City:
Kasagingan
located along F. Torres Street, Davao City
Kasagingan gets my vote because not only is the WiFi access free, but the electricity usage is free as well. Their internet access is fast, their chairs are comfortable, and the food and drinks are great and very much affordable. Plus, the service is very commendable. The crew are very helpful and accommodating.
Yesterday morning, a cousin of mine excitedly sent me an SMS about a new restaurant she discovered. The name: Q Resto. The main attraction: unlimited greaseless fried chicken, rice, and gravy for only PhP95!!! My cousins and I definitely had to try it ASAP. And so we trooped over to Q Resto at the Damosa Gateway in Lanang, Davao City last night. And here’s what our tummies feasted on…
If you want to indulge your sweet tooth, Lachi’s is definitely the place to go to. It is Davao City’s own quaint little resto.
You can start off your sumptuous Lachi’s experience by choosing one of their return-trip-worthy meals such as their Unforgettable Pork Ribs, Lechon Kawali or Stuffed Chicken. The Pork Ribs is a runaway winner with the meat being so tender that it almost melts in your mouth. On the other hand, the Lechon Kawali is so crispy that even those who veer away from pork fat, would be tempted to eat every piece of crunchy piece of fat which has just the right amount of saltiness. Finally, their Stuffed Chicken is practically CordonBleu (only much cheaper) served with a tangy pineapple sauce. They also serve adobo, tocino and grilled pork chop, among others.
Tranquility… Serenity… Privacy… These words are written on the brochure of Bali Bali Beach Resort. And that was what exactly what my relatives and I experienced when we spent a weekend there. Bali Bali Beach Resort is a quaint beach resort located in Samal Island a few minutes away from Davao City.

When people ask me where I go to drink coffee, eat dessert or access WiFi, I often tell them I go to Kasagingan. Most of them think I’m kidding them because they have no idea what or where Kasagingan is. Well, it is a cafe, located at F. Torres Street. It is one of the best coffee places in town, not just because of their great food and coffee, but more so because of the great ambiance.

Watching movies has always been a favorite pastime of mine, be it at home or at the theater. In Manila, I’m more than willing to shell out 200 pesos for a movie ticket, even more for premieres. I know the price is silly, but come to think of it, even if the movie sucked, the sound quality and comfy seats make the experience partially worthwhile. The cinemas at Greenhills Shopping Center and Powerplant are the best in my book. In Davao City, there are only a few worth mentioning. Here they are, in order of preference:
