Monday: Transport Strike, Work and Food

I decided I’d do a five-post series about my last five days in Davao. I’ll be leaving for Cebu this Saturday and I want to keep track on how I will spend my five remaining days.

It’s Monday. There is a nation-wide transport strike going on. I can somehow see its effect. The city government deployed buses to replace the public transport. But I’m glad there are taxis around.

I spent the afternoon with Kuya Andrew and Ate Ria. We went to Fagioli to grab some coffee and abuse the free WiFi they offer. Kuya and I had to finish some work, or rather get some work started (again). Ate Ria left earlier because she had to get something from the mall. We stayed at the coffee shop until seven in the evening and head back down town to pick Ate Ria.

We decided to have dinner at Dulce Manos. The three of us ordered their famous Shrimp with Alavar Sauce (P85) while Kuya Blogie, who followed, had his serving of Lechon Kawali (P105). The meal was “underwhelming”, or we were not “whelmed” at all for that matter.

We again decided to leave the place and look for a new restaurant to eat. The group decided to try Cafe Vivere in Mt. Apo Street. We ordered their pork steak while Kuya Blogie ordered Hungarian Sausage. The meal satisfied our hungry tummies. Thanks to the owner of Cafe Vivere, who let us in even if they were about to close, when we arrived.

That did not end our food adventure that night. We went to Basti’s Brew to finish the work we left. I tried their Cinnamon Roll topped with cream cheese (P60) at it was great. Kuya Drew was so happy that night because he was able to finish the task I gave him. Tsk tsk tsk. While I, on the other hand, was left clueless on how to work on my Joomla Component problem.

It was a brain draining day because of work, but nonetheless, it was also “food-filling”.
