Tea'Amo Bistro

Have you ever been to Tea'Amo before? Well, you should probably visit them sometime soon again because they just underwent some minor renovations and a little rebranding. It just started last year around March and looks like they're already making it big. They never really thought of having students as their target consumers but it ended up that way. It was a place for college students reviewing or just hanging out. As they made some changes they are hoping to cater different groups of people.
And that explains our simple gathering with the owner themselves and a few other bloggers. We were fortunate to have the leisure of time to ask them questions. 
 The place now looks more of neutrals rather than the colorful/girly/cutesy image before. So men... no need to worry about that anymore. I love the place either way of course. But it felt more "homey" before. Of course they were known for the sticky note walls. The space is now limited  for that but the sticky notes remain! You can still post them on a corner provided for it. The place also expanded which gives us a larger space for more people.
The choice of music is also good because it's relaxing and not too loud.

After getting a glimpse of the place we were lucky enough to get a taste of their main courses which they take pride of. I guess we should give them bragging rights for this because I loved everything!


Mamita's Chicken Parmigiana
Breaded chicken breast topped with tomato sauce, Parmesan and mozzarella cheese
Since it's already boneless it's so much easier to eat and the sauce is also very tasty. I'm not a fan of java rice but I really like how light the taste of their java rice is. Just the way I like it.

Caldereta Bordeaux
Slow-cooked beef bathed in our special sauce
This meal has a hint of red wine and I love how the meat is so soft and easy to chew. The flavors aren't just on the outsides but you can taste it with every bite.

Adobo Festival
A classic homegrown recipe of their family used to serve during festivals
When everyone saw this they were all complementing the presentation. So "pinoy" and we love how they pair up meals if it's better with plain rice or java rice but you can request whichever you prefer.

Spicy Pork Cracklings
Pork slices fried with that guilty crunch, served with a special tangy sauce on the side
Just the right amount of spice! And it's crispy like chicharon but of course tastier. "Pwede pang pulutan!" one of us jokingly said. They plan to server alcoholic beverages but it's not yet final and hopefully they will extend their store hours soon.

Curry Tilapia with Mango Cilantro Salsa
Freshly cooked curried Snapper/Tilapia infused in a unique marriage of Middle Eastern and Asian flavors
This one's amazingly flavorful. I could love how the flavors work inside my mouth. It's my first time to try tilapia paired with mangoes and it's utterly pleasing to the senses.

Creamy Chicken
Tender-cooked chicken with a veil of cream, topped with kangkong leaves

It stands up to its name. It is creamy and the kangkong leaves are very translucent and yummy!

Home Sweet Ribs
Soft ribs with that familiar home-cooked taste
I think this would be one of my personal favorites since it has that sweetness that I'm looking for plus the easy chewing and the wonderful java rice. I love how generous they are with their servings. You get what you pay for. Your money doesn't go to waste.

Coconut and Pesto Pork Braise
Slow braised pork blanketed in a cream mixture of coconut and pesto

Oatmeal bars and crinkles with an Oreo surprise
Their pastries are all home-baked. I like the way they put a twist on the crinkles. It has an Oreo inside!

and of course we got a free drink before we headed home.  I got the green apple kiwi iced tea! It's more on the green apple side :)

Everything looks promising eh? I can't wait to go back and visit it with friends and loved ones. Check them out as soon as you have the time!
They are located Sanny Sweets Buildiing, Tionko Avenue, Davao City - Near Central Bank

Jose Karlo's Coffee

Jose Karlo's Coffee Shop
Juan Luna Street, Tacloban City, Leyte

My cousins kept telling me, "Tara JK kita!" which translates to "Tara JK tayo." By that time I
 really didn't know what they were talking about. I just thought... wherever they wanted to go... I will go. Now that's a sense of adventure! :)
They planned and planned and never really got implemented... but one night when we were bored and undecided that line came up again... So we went to the talked about "JK." I already figured by that time that it was a coffee shop. Just like context clues, right? Haha. It was located near Sto. Nino church. I was so hyped up because its been like so long since I had coffee from a coffee shop. 
The ambiance was outstanding. I love everything about it. If you want to chill and enjoy the evening this is a place to be. There are a lot of corners, each with a different feel but not going out of their comfort concept. I love that it's all woody and dim. Not enough photos to support my review but trust me on this one. My cousin kept teasing that I took photos of everything so I semi-stopped but you can't totally stop a blogger.
 The coffee nothing really surprising but not bad. I'd pay for the place itself. A lot of people are raving about their cheesecakes but I didn't get to try one. So, you should try if you go for a visit. For a coffee shop? Thumbs up! :D
I had fun even though I was bullied by the evil cousins. Haha. What are cousins for anyway?

In the meantime let me sip another cup of coffee... Let me tell you about this one next time! <3

Coffee for a cat

I think we found a new strange hobby - Studying.

Everyone's kind of busy these days. Since, it's the review season we find it very hard to control what we eat and usually end up in coffee shops. Consider it a place conducive for studying. I hope all these money spending activities are all worth it! I'm doing all of these for the sake of passing the board exam. I'm gonna need a lot of prayers so please include me in yours! Thanks!

Let's talk about the place and the food now... I'm not even biased. I love this place. My favorite! Next to Starbucks and Green Coffee :)

Food that captured my eyes...

Banoffee Pie

Tried this one before. I forgot the name but its very yummy!!!




Oatmeal and Chocolate Cookies :)





Chocolate Studded Butter Cookie! One of my favorites! It is a must try.

Dra. Cindy ordering! Their service is very good. They never fail to greet customers. Prim and proper. Kudos!

Indecisive people right here. Too many good food to choose from they got us all confused!





What's new? Can't decide? Always go for caramel. Haha! I don't know what's wrong with me. I love caramel.
They have yogurt, frappes, and a lot more. There's so much to choose from. Tip? Ask for the best sellers. You'll never go wrong... Or be like me. Order the usual! Haha.

The struggle between tweeting and studying. Disadvantages of studying in a place with WiFi. Haha!

Hayahay person over here! Freshly Registered Nurse over here just chillin' with us.

Talk about an addict! All gadgets out. Tweeting, Instagraming... Haha! Name it!

Dra. Cindy sitting on a separate table. RN and soon to be MD! Aja!

That's me... Pseudostolen shot. Haha! 

Haven't been here for so long. Too bad we went there on a weekend. It had to close early. So, we just crossed the street and went to Green Coffee. Hurrah for 24 hours coffee shop!

Its a nice place to hangout. Not too silent and not too loud. They also have a branch near Sutherland and at the mall - YOGO :)

I bet if you're from a Davao you have already tried this... But if not... You should! Take it from a Kitty that loves coffee.
