Selecta Super Chocolate Ice Cream in a Cone

Selecta Super Chocolate Ice Cream in a Cone
One thing kids like our dear little boy wants in the heat of this summer 2013 is a scoop of their favorite delicious ice cream to cool themselves. He asked for his favorite chocolate ice cream when we went to the Selecta scooping station in front of the Robinson's Supermarket in Abreeza Mall Davao.
I sure got hungry and I wanted one for myself but this foodie mommy had to stop her craving. We still have a roll of brazo de mercedes from Tiny Kitchen to finish in our refrigerator at home. That will be my sweet treat for myself and hubby when we get home.

Spicy Spareribs at Yellow Fin Restaurant

Photo by The Foodie Mommy
Spicy Spareribs at Yellow Fin Restaurant can be really spicy and I have to say this is one of the spiciest I have ever eaten as far as I can remember. The cook took us seriously when we told them to make it spicy. *wink* We love it really spicy anyway. I actually don't like spicy food but it is my hubby's influence on me since he really likes spicy food.
For those who love the deep fried spicy spare ribs, one of our all time fave at Ahfat Seafood Restaurant here in Davao, can also try this and make this an option when they dine at any of the Yellow Fin branches in Davao City. An order costs P150 good for at least two persons already (depending on your appetite). Though I have to say that Ahfat's version still remains a fave of ours.
This spicy spareribs from Yellow Fin was also good on its own, delicious and very spicy! More spicy than the ones we've tried at ASR which though have spareribs cooked crispy.  If you get to try it, tell me if you like it.
Bon appetit!

Bacon Wrapped Bagaybay from Bistro Selera

Bacon Wrapped Bagaybay from Bistro Selera is a must try when you visit the newly opened bistro at the second level of the Fountain Court area of SM Lanang Premier in Davao City.
We were invited to an exclusive lunch there a few days ago and this dish became one of my fave and now I know why it is one of their best seller dishes now. I prefer eating bagaybay rather than the bihod if I were to chose. When we go to a seafood restaurant, my husband and I would usually look for bagaybay other than fish.
The crisp bacon added more flavor and twist to this dish. This is the first time I have heard of bagaybay paired with bacon in a dish and topped with crispy bits garlic. My husband and I agree this is a must try dish when you get to dine at Bistro Selera. Hope they will serve it as great as this delicious dish they served us during that exclusive lunch.
Bagaybay is the local term for the gonads or testicles of the male tuna fish. They call it tuna milt or male gonads of the tuna fish. While the bihod is the roe or eggs of the female tuna.

Starbucks' Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino Blended Beverage & Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappucino Blended Beverage

Starbucks' Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino Blended Beverage & Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappucino Blended Beverage
Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino Blended Beverage is a creamy blend of rich mocha-flavored sauce, chocolaty chips, milk and ice. Topped with sweetened whipped cream and mocha drizzle. It's a non-coffee Starbucks beverage choice that kids can enjoy drinking.
Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappucino Blended Beverage is coffee blended with mocha sauce, vanilla syrup, chocolaty chips, milk and ice, and topped with chocolaty whipped cream and chocolate cookie crumbles.
The double chocolate chip frappe has been our fave with my little kid before. I liked their new mocha cookie crumble frappe as well. I just don' want to count the calories these drinks have or else I won't enjoy drinking them. *wink*

Foodies in Davao City or tourists who would like to go on a food trip while visiting Davao may try this Chinese restaurant located at the Victoria Plaza Compound. We dined there last year and it has been quite a long time since we visited this restaurant. Service is okay. What I love in this place are the nuts that they serve customers while waiting for their food. The nuts with sesame seeds are served for free and it's delicious. My former officemates would even make a joke that they are already full eating the nuts alone before the meal.
