Kinilaw na Tuna

November 26, 2009

  

Staying in Gensan is not complete if you are not going to eat tuna.  One of the best way to experience this is to eat it raw. If the Japanese have their raw fish dish called sushi, we Filipinos have a version called “Kinilaw” or “Kilawin”.  It is the combination of raw tuna meat with cucumber, tomatoes, onions, vinegar, salt and pepper and chilis. In General Santos City, this is very common dish at the area and one which I can recommend to have kinilaw is at Nikolai.

   

Where to Find  

 

Nikolai Barbeque Grill and Seafood is located downtown of General Santos City along Aranghita st. THey are known for their delicious seafood dishes and very affordable price. I bet  you, you will be surprise how may dishes you can have with your 500 pesos.  They serve the freshest catch of the day at a very affordable price.  When you are in the place, never miss their Kinilaw. One of the best kinilaw that I have tasted.

Crab Meat at Conchings

November 4, 2009

 

I was surprised when I tasted the crab meat at Conchings when I went to Davao since this is a dish that I grew up and is only serve in the house. The Crab Meat at Conchings is truly is very delectable. At first, I was more focused on their specialty that is inihaw na native na manok but to my surprise, they also make crab meat (relleno style) similar to the taste my parents were cooking for us. It was like reminiscing my childhood days when this is one of my favorite request to my mom. We use to eat it with Nilagang Baka.

  

Where to Find

 

Conching’s Native Chicken may be found at Araullo st. barangay Obrero, Davao City.  Eating at Conchings is one of my best gastronomic experience in Davao. Its not only the food that they serve, but they also have a very receptive staff that are there to attend to your needs just to make sure “ na hindi ka mabibitin.”  The crab meat and inihaw na native na manok were truly amazing. I enjoyed it eating with my friends who were also captured by the flavor. Hehe. Sarap kumain dito. When in Davao, never miss this restaurant. Solve ka dito men!!!
