Saturday Night With Diligent Traveler’s Deen and Going to Deen’s Dad’s Resto Bar Called Konbawa

by mtlawlordesign333February 9, 2015

This past Saturday, I went to Davao to meet up with my cousin, Deen. We met up at Italianni’s in Abreeza. I visited Italianni’s last week and enjoyed their Tuscano pizza so I thought I would bring Deen there. We ordered Tuscano pizza again and also Quattro Carne. Of course, the Tuscano pizza was good. I also really like the Quattro Carne, but I preferred the Tuscano pizza more. It is slightly spicy. That’s odd for a pizza, but I like it. Last week when I first went to Italianni’s, I ordered a margarita. It was frozen, not on the rocks, but it was good. This time around, I ordered a mango shake. It was super delicious. When I’m in the Philippines, I order lots and lots of mango shakes.

After dinner, Deen and I took a taxi Matina Town Square. Our taxi driver was a maniac and driving really fast. Anyhow, we arrived safely in Matina Town Square and we visited Aling Foping’s. Deen said they were featured in Kris TV because of their delicious halo halo. I ordered a durian halo halo. I had never had that before and I thought I would give it a try. I loved it! It had durian ice cream and some sort of durian jam. durian

Once we finished our halo halo, we took a taxi to Konbawa Resto Bar, Deen’s Dad’s restaurant/bar that he manages. It was a little far from Matina Town Square and our taxi driver almost passed the place. Konbawa Resto Bar was lots of fun. My uncle manages the place and he took care of us. Konbawa has karaoke and we got to hear lots of people sing. I enjoyed listening to the customers singing. I tried to get Deen to sing and Deen tried to get me to sing, but neither one of us were successful and neither of us ended up singing.

After Konbawa, we headed home. I had loads of fun and would like to go to Konbawa again and actually sing. I know I can’t sing, but it’s worth a try.

Davao City Trip January 27th-January 28th Abreeza Mall and Tune Hotel

by mtlawlordesign333January 28, 2015

The indoor decor of TGIF.

Yesterday, I went on a Davao City adventure on my own. I often travel to Davao on my own from Calinan to Davao City. I got to go to my favorite restaurant in Davao City yesterday, TGIF. TGIF stands for Thank God It’s Friday. I know that there’s a TGIF in America and it seems odd that TGIF would be my favorite here, but I really like their atmosphere, their decor, and their quesadillas. TGIF in Davao City is located in the Abreeza Mall.

The view of Mt. Apo from Tune Hotel.

After dinner, I checked into my hotel in Davao City called Tune. It was 1,400 pesos for one night which is a great deal. The hotel was comfortable, had a great view, and had TV. I got to watch the CNN news and watch some special tributes they had for the 70th anniversary of the Liberation of the Jews from Auschwitz. They also had wi-fi which allowed me to chat on Facebook all night long. That was my favorite part. In the morning, I woke up to a great view and in the distance I could see Mt. Apo.

My delicious breakfast.

In the morning, I woke up starving. I went to the lobby to find out if they had a restaurant. They said they did and it’s in the ground floor right next to the hotel. I went to the restaurant and found a nice, clean, and friendly place. I ordered a longganisa meal with rice and egg and for my drink I had a mango shake. The mango shake was my favorite part of the meal.

After the first breakfast, I decided I wanted some donuts so I went to J and Co. Their donuts are delicious.
