Davao is both familiar and unfamiliar to me, I've been going there (work-related) since 2009 and I think I've sampled some of the more popular eating places there. But on a recent trip (last week, actually) I was reminded of how much I really like going there because it's a city, hey Ayala's Abreeza Mall just opened with TGIF (Fridays), Italiannis, and finally a Starbucks outlet but at the same time, it has retained a laid-back vibe, breakfast by the beach anyone? Which was what we did...the drive was about 5 minutes from the hotel to a small port where boats awaited (PhP 120.00 for a group of 8) for a 10 minute ride to Paradise Island. Well...it's not exactly paradise (not like Pearl Farm) but after a toxic workload, it was very relaxing. 
We ordered Fried Bangus, Daing with Salted Egg and Tomatoes and this Beef Tapa (above) that was so delicious! 
This was my friend's little girl's haul from the sea. Sea shells! 
Oh and of course we had dinner at the Polo Bistro of Marco Polo Hotel. It was almost 9:30 P.M. when we got there and I wasn't too hungry so instead of a US Angus Tendeloin steak I ordered Grilled Atlantic Salmon...yum! 
I forgot to take pictures of my other favorite restaurant Marina where they serve the freshest seafood and where we had our Durian fix...which I think deserves a separate post!

I agree, I super love Davao! The food is cheap but so delicious! I also love how you can get the best of both a city and a province in one place. :D
The salmon looks really gooood!
Oh that grilled Atlantic salmon is calling my name! The pictures are just beautiful and making me long for another beachy vacay before the cold starts creeping in!
SALMON! :)
