Foot and Fire

Bahay ni Tuding is homey and has an in-house restaurant  which is a good thing during rainy or lazy days during a vacation.  Please check out how the hometel fared during our November 2014 vacation  in my foot and fire blog  here.

A Visit in Davao city is never complete without dropping by the famous Lola Abon's candied durian... And now, they have durian ice cream aside from their durian ice candy! *** Who wants this? *** I love these!!! ***

      We traveled by foot but we were transported by our mouths! One of the perks of vacation is eating heartily and discovering great food places. Vista View Resto is one of the happy finds! Feast on the food basket below... This is located at Ma-a Diversion Road and a great stop over before heading to the Crocodile Farm.

A vacation is not a vacation if there is no proof. And the proof is not the megapixel alone but PASALUBONG, a treat for those waiting at home. Part of the Filipino culture is to bring something home. To celebrate such tradition, we allotted a day to buy Davao's best: durian candies, pomelo, malong, bags, wallets, keychains and other goods in Aldevingco Mall. But before we hit the mall, we roamed around the city hall of Davao, the Sanggunian Panlungsod hall, the San Pedro Cathedral, and the Museo Ng Dabaw. We had a great time that at the last minute we decided to head to Crocodile Farm which is located outside the city proper (You should do this on a Friday and weekends as they feature Tribu Mindanao fire dance on those days) and we ended our day there with a sumptuous meal at one of the restaurants.  The City hall of Davao. *** A pose by the big painting on the making of the city.  This is in the lobby of the city hall. *** With the ch...
