A Display mouthwatering cakes, cookies and breads, their menu written on a blackboard
Tiny Kitchen is a tiny place, I heard the place was always full and when were there luckily one table is vacant. There are only 6 tables in the place hope they expand more. Upon entering at the place you will notice their mouthwatering cakes cookies and breads displayed on it. The atmostphere was just like a home sweet home. The hostess are approachable and kind, they explain whats on their menu and how it looks like. I learned that this restaurant specialized mostly by spanish cuisine and a little bit of filipino foods. It’s almost 1:30 pm so some diners are finish so they leave carefully and i’ve heard some foreigners tasted their food and it said soo perfectly delicious i love it…hmmm it sounds so interesting to me…
Anyway they don’t have a menu book, but their menu was written on a black board. It’s comfy for me to read it. So we ordered Paella Valencia small which is good for two at 410 pesos, 2 ice tea at 110.oo, we tried a Red Velvet Cake at 90.00 pesos and Choco Brazo cake at 80.00 pesos.. and we billed 695.00 pesos.
- Red Velvet Cake
After we done our delicious meal a good looking mestizo and hospitable owner of the restaurant came to us and ask us how was the food? He was Enteng Rodriguez a filipino born with spanish parents. He was married a davaoeña named Donna which also owns the place. I learned that both owners are hands on in their restaurant cooking and baking . We had a short chat with enteng about the paella where he got that homemade taste that his mother can capture. It’s because the recipes Enteng Rodriguez uses are all from his mom who is one of the best paella-makers in Davao City.
- Tiny Kitchen Paella Valencia
Tiny kitchen is a must try… I give my two thumbs up with their paella valencia.. I will be back more to taste their best seller paella negra – a squid ink rice studded with seafood morsels like clams, diced fish, crab and squid bites. Also i must try Caldereta Español and Balbacua Knuckles.

It’s Holy Week, as a Roman Catholic it’s our tradition to have Visita Iglesia (in English Church Visits). In the Philippines we faithfully carry this tradition of Fourteen Station of the Cross with one station for each church in order to pray and meditate on the Passion of Jesus Christ. Most Roman Catholics do this every Maundy Thursday or in Good Friday.
What to bring? Here are a few tips…
1. Bring your station of the cross booklets and your prayer intentions.
2. Bring your penlight or small flashlight in case to read your prayer booklet (some churches requires a light coz its dark).
3. Bring cold water, juices and snacks especially if you visiting churches with kids, extra shirt, hand towel and some extra money incase for lunch on or after visita inglesia.

Along with my very lovable partner we’re at SM for some leisure not for shopping, it’s dinner time and we’re hungry, and it’s her treat, I spot a new restaurant recently opened in SM, The Classic Savory.
The Classic Savory
I’ve heard this restaurant before while i’m in Manila, it was started way back 1950′s when they open a 1st branch at Escolta, Manila, the restaurant mainly serving chinese dishes, they developed a special recipe for their fried chicken and gravy that became more popular in chinese communities especially in Chinatown areas. It was the brainchild by Ting brothers.
Classic Favorite
Today, Classic Savory Chicken is known for it’s tenderest and juiciest chicken, top it off with their tasty gravy. Truly they preserve their special recipe since 1950′s.
The Classic Savory Chicken the recipe preserve 61 years ago...
The Classic Savory restaurant at SM City Davao is designed for casual dining, with lots of black and white photo’s of an old Manila memories on the wall. The dishes is served freshly while they’re hot and the service is very good.
Hototai Soup and Savory Tropical Cooler
Must try to order are the Whole Classic Savory Chicken at P 345.00 The Savory Tropical Cooler at 40.00. They also serves soups, seafoods, meat dishes, vegetables, noodles and desserts. Among its bestsellers are pancit canton, savory shanghai rolls, and lechon macau, they also have combo meals good for four to eight people in a very reasonable price.

It’s summertime and if your searching for the most adventurous and memorable summer you want, it might be climbing the mountains of Mount Apo.
Mount Apo is a large solfataric potentially active stratovolcano on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines, at altitude 2,954 metres (9,692 ft). It is the highest mountain in the country and overlooks Davao City-40 km northeast, Digos City-25 km southeast, and Kidapawan City-20 kilometres (12 mi) west. Its name means “ancestor”. Apo is flat-topped, with three peaks, and is capped by a 500-metre-wide (1,600 ft) volcanic crater containing a small crater lake. It is a source of geothermal energy, but the date of its most recent eruption is unknown, and none are verified in historical times.
Mount Apo is one of the most popular climbing destinations in the Philippines, and the summit is easy to reach. The first recorded climb was on October 10, 1880, by a party led by Don Joaquin Rajal.
Here are some exclusive snap shots of the mount apo activities…
