Davao Food Trip: Koi Cafe
It’s been a while since we came back but I never got the time to write about our recent adventure. hehehe. Things have been a little busy here. Anyway, the first thing that I’m going to tell you guys is this wonderful cafe at Malagos Garden Resort. It is called the Koi Cafe simply because it is surrounded by fish tanks sooooo full of kois. I think what makes is really charming at night are it’s white drapes that hang from the ceiling to the floor, the shells chandeliers and the banig ceiling. It all contributes to the charming and homey feeling especially at night.
The food was great as it offers the freshest ingredients from their nearby puntespina farm. The most exotic one that we’ve tried is their ostrich meat. It is cooked ala salpicao and comes with mash potatoes and fresh garden salad. They have an ostrich farm so they get all their meat there. We were suprised that it is red meat and it tastes more like beef than chicken.

It is best paried with this Bignay wine, which is made from the red berries they have around here. We all loved the wine…perfect blend of sweetness. We almost finished the whole bottle that night.

We also ordered kinilaw na malasigue (blue marlin), fried chicken and chop suey.

It was a great night and we enjoyed our food. I would go back there because ou can taste the freshness in the food. You can tell that it was freshly picked. The ostrich was such a revelation. The meat was tender and juicy….i think it is even better than beef itself.
