Tiny Kitchen - Davao City

>> Wednesday, June 8, 2011



I have been raving about the food served by Tiny Kitchen in Davao City in all my other blogs. I have even mentioned how good the Paella Negra was in this blog.. But I have not really given time to blog about the place itself. Why? Hmm.. Maybe because I am lost for words. maybe because their food tastes so good, all I can tell you my dear readers is get yourselves packed up and go to Davao City and try out the food at Tiny Kitchen. 

See their menu and be served by the little angel at the cafe, daughter of the Rodriguez's..Vince and Donna.. That dessert she is holding is to die for.. 
The family is actually hands on in their business and they talk to their patrons and care for them like family.. Just like how they did with us participants of DFAT 2011.. That is why, after being full, it was still fun to be posing and taking photos with them..
Quite frankly, I could not pin point what food I liked best at Tiny Kitchen, for they are all so good. I swear. Even if we were impossible to fit in a very small space, still we had fun and we had the best eats--- 

Among the desserts, I think I like the Mango Sans Rival best.. The photo above is just a few of the desserts we tried.. There's also the Red Velvet Cake, as well as the Major Major Chocolate Cake, but since I am more of a Sans Rival person, the Mango Sans Rival it is..
I also like these gooey chewy treats.. And among the Paella served, this Paella Valencia is the best.. Of course, I already mentioned Paella Negra earlier..  

The pasta i like best would be the Catalonia Penne Pasta..

Fruit Salad Ice Candy



photo shared by Titus Velez.. Thanks Bro.. 
Have you ever seen this guy around the city? He is the original "Salad Oh, Init Pa!-guy".. Yup.. He is. Well, I always asked Kagay-anons if they knew who was the first person to have such unique barking for his food to be sold, as he patiently strides through every nook and cranny of CDO.. I saw him once at the Bingo Hall at Lim Ket Kai and i told my sister about it, but she didn't seem to be interested. Well, he is after all just any other face you see on the streets.. What sets him apart is his Fruit Salad Ice Candy, one that people buy as they get startled, or as they get his full attention after barking, "Salad Oh, Init Pa!"..

Wont he ever rest? Nah, he can't.. His business is doing well at times but who needs to stop just when customers are getting really excited about your product? He can't even simply sit and enjoy  a movie. Not even that at LKKS.. Oh well, if you see him, just buy form him.. The Fruit Salad Ice Candy is actually very good. Very refreshing.. 

Well, you will never miss this dude as he is practically all over the place..

Having the Best in Your Kitchen

>> Thursday, June 2, 2011



The kitchen is not only a space to prepare your meals and cook or bake them. The kitchen is somehow an extended part of your socialization process, as some kitchen have the capacity to entertain guests and have a great time too. For this purpose, some kitchens are equipped with really good appliances and gadgets. But the most important of all are the sinks.. I read a lot about the most preferred undermount sinks from Mr. Direct. They are not only durable, they are also good looking.. I checked out their site and not only do I find the undermount sink a treasure from them, but also their other sinks.. Quality sinks that come in really affordable prices..  They also have sinks for the bathroom and all other parts of the house.. 

But if you wish your kitchen to be the highlight of all, Mr. Direct sinks should give you enough advantage..

A Watch Cake..

>> Wednesday, June 1, 2011



If you are fond of Baby G Watches, would you ask your birthday cake to be of that design? I know someone who is fond of G shock Watches, and went a long way as to having a crazy birthday with a G-shock watch cake..
Photo borrowed from http://www.jaybirdcreations.com/2011/05/cake-decorating-g-shock-watch-cake.html

That image above is not the one, but I guess you could imagine it to look like that.. But here's the grandest thing of all. In that party, instead of the celebrant receiving gifts, he gave away three G Shock Watches for some guests.. Cool! Now, I know that would quite be an expensive treat. But hey, if one has the resources, then, why not? Everyone happy that way.. 

But if you ask me, if I will be asked to design a watch cake, it wouldn't be that of expensive watches. It would be designed from how the old grandfather clock in my grandfather's house in Butuan City looks like.. Since the fire ate the grandfather clock, I would very much like to see it come alive again.. Best that we eat it, instead of the fire, lol..

Food and Essays..

>> Sunday, May 29, 2011


This is one of the heavenly treats at Lachi's in Davao City. A hit among Lachi's avid fans and patrons. When I first tasted this, I told myself that I died and was sent straight to heaven.. 

Of course, when all the desserts were served, I attested that I was in fact dead, and was already in seventh heaven, lol.. If someone would order custom essays from me, at that point in time, I am sure, even the greatest essay writer would agree, that he or she will get disoriented.. 

Imagine the dessert bar.. 

All the great flavors of their desserts.. I was able to taste everything because I ate a little of everything, lucky me.. It was a smorgasboard of delectable treats. I love their Sansrival, which came in three flavors, namely, Classic Sansrival, Durian Sansrival and Mocha flavored Sansrival.. They are all mouthwatering.. 

And of course, there's more at their fridge..
Now, since there were many of us, and owners were so hospitable, we were even encouraged to get more.. Good luck to us, we didn't, we were so full..  

So if I am tasked to write an essay about good food and delicious desserts.. I really can not say anything except... Lachi's..

Refreshing Young Coconuts in Singapore

>> Saturday, May 28, 2011



This young coconut was what we enjoyed as we strolled along Chinatown in Singapore.. It may be very small but mind you, the coconut water inside it is very sweet. Just a word of caution, it may be young coconut, but the coconut meat was kinda tough.. So just enjoy this refreshing drink but not as a snack, hehehe.. 

The first time I saw this actually, was when a woman was holding three young coconuts this size while she was talking to someone standing near the point of care cart at the Tan Tock Seng Hospital, where my cousin Lara and I went to when I accompanied her to apply as nurse assistant there..

When we got to taste the said coconuts, I flipped. They are quite different tasting compared with our young coconuts here in the Philippines.. Must be because they were imported from Thailand.. FYI: Singapore do not have any produce on their own..

Bangus in Oil Omelet



Target coupons are helpful these days, especially for those who have relatives they are sending to school here in the Philippines, as it is enrollment season now.. Added to that are the many natural calamities that hit previously.. I am also sure that those who have lost so much during the tornado attack in Missouri can use much more discounts, if not freebies.. Truly, it can be devastating to lose everything that you worked hard for in just one snap of a finger.. I do hope everyone can be able to move on and move up, after the grave damages.. 

Anyway, at breakfast today, we had this Bangus in Oil Omelet.. 

It's kinda recycled from the bottle of Bangus in Oil I got during the Davao Food Appreciation Tour 2011, one that Saranggani Bay gave each of us participants.. Well, what was left was Spicy Flavor, and Lili can not tolerate too much spiciness in food, so I had to add eggs and made it into an omelet.. Lili loved it..  That was a freebie, not something I got from Target coupons.. hehehe

Paella Negra at Tiny Kitchen in Davao City



One of the dishes served to us during our heavy snack at Tiny Kitchen in Davao City during the Davao Food Appreciation Tour 2011 Day 4 was the Paella Negra above.. The rice was black because the ink from the squid was used to darken it. But mind you, it has lots of flavor in it.. Add the toppings of seafoods, and Spanish sausages, voila! a heavenly sensation in one dish..  If I were to avoid eating this dish, and paid a pair of really expensive Black diamond earrings, I would pass the jewelry and enjoy the Paella Negra..  I swear, it's to die for---

Scrapbook of Food Photos

>> Friday, May 27, 2011



I have plenty of food photos and I am planning to create a scrapbook for them. So now, I am in search of scrapbook layouts that I could use.. I saw a website or two and they have really nice layouts. But my friend who have been scrap booking for ten years already, told me that I should just make use of the food photos that I have to add as layout images.. Well, that sure is a good idea to consider. 

Anyway, I have organized my food photos and I found out that there were yet too many that I have not blogged about. Perhaps it's because I have saved them in different memory sticks that i do not get to access everytime. All that I have often used are those in this lappy as well as those I have uploaded online already.. I'm gonna have to see where I could add those I have just found again..

FROM MY KITCHEN #6: Linabog na Butong (Chilled Young Coconut in Milk)

>> Thursday, May 26, 2011



After a very long time, I am reviving this meme.. I thought I would completely forget about this but because Mommy Willa of Food Trip Friday encouraged me to revive this meme, then here it is again..


From My Kitchen: The meme that shall allow bloggers everywhere to feature, present and perhaps, brag about their own culinary creations right at their own kitchens.. You need not be a chef to know how to cook, right? So anyone who has cooked a meal, dish or made deserts, baked or grilled whatever comes to mind.. It could be food cooked, baked, mixed, whipped or anything delicious that the participant created.. Pictures and procedures/recipes are valuable share-pieces...

For the meme badge, see codes below:




For my entry this week:  Linabog na Butong (Chilled Young Coconut in Milk)

This is actually common in areas where coconuts abound.. Here in the island, we get fresh young coconuts straight from the tree.. For the Linabog, all you have to do is crack fresh young coconut, and save the coconut water.. Scrape coconut meat and place in a bowl. It doesn't matter how small or big, the scraped meat will be.  Add the coconut water to the bowl of coconut meat, and add condensed milk too. Others add peanuts or cashew nuts to make it crunchier, but plain coconut meat will do. Anyway, when you are done mixing them, chill the mixture. Serve cold.. 

Do you have anything from your kitchen that you wish to share? Why not join this meme. Do check out its really simple rules..

I also like the aroma of freshly brewed coffee when you enter their premises.. But most of all, I love how nice their attendants were.

The place is cozy, suitable for intimate conversations or business. And of course, if you simply want to lounge around, it's nice to stay there too.. 
Of course, I love their decor.. The coffee blend below was what I ordered. and instead of paying P 130 for it, I paid less.. that's when I discovered that bloggers get 10% discount..

Mangaon Ta..

>> Tuesday, May 24, 2011




My entry for this week is a gesture of hospitality among Filipinos.. words uttered by people in Visayas and Mindanao, "Mangaon Ta".. "Kain Tayo" in Tagalog and in English, "Let's Eat".. and Filipinos have certain expressions that say just that, even without saying the words.. See photos below... 

Photo above and below were taken at Haagen Dazs in a mall which I can no longer remember somewhere in Novena, Singapore..

BEKO’S BIIK - Davao City

>> Monday, May 23, 2011




During snacks on the first day of Davao Food Appreciation Tour 2011 at Mam Beb's Bakeshop, two Lechon biik were added to the already heavy snacks served. 

(Photo borrowed from Ria Jose)

The one on the left is the Spicy Flavored Lechon Biik while the one on the right is the Regular Flavor Lechon Biik.. In fairness, sampling each flavor of Lechon Biik leaves you with a different experience and gastronomic sensations.. The Regular Flavor is quite good.. Different from all the other Lechon Biik or Lechon de Leche I have tasted.. But the Spicy Flavor makes it all the more exciting.. It's not that spicy if you simply take from the outer part of the skin or meat, but as you go deeper, it becomes more flavorful..  Too bad we were so full at that time. But it was also a blessing that we were, if not, the two Lechon Biik would not even be enough for all of us..

If you wanna try the Spicy Flavor or the Regular Flavor of  this Lechon Biik, better check out the information below:
