I shall forever savor thoughts of our first night in the biggest city in Asia and the 2nd largest city (in terms of land area) in the world, Davao City.
Upon a strong recommendation from Phil’s cousins, we headed
out to Marina Tuna along Lanang St., (J.P. Laurel Ave, Davao City) and for sure, the place did not
disappoint.
Employing a dampa
(market and cook) system, Marina Tuna has several tanks in the restaurant where
you can see the cooks catch your sea food, similar to those fish market
restaurants in Hongkong.
Our hostess was quite helpful in describing the things in
the menu, and by the end of the ordering process, Phil and I could not help but
order not so common sea food finds (at least for us dwelling in Baguio). Check out the crazy long menu:
Here’s what we got:
 |
| giant sauteed clams |
 |
| hands down fave: grilled swordfish jaw |
 |
| MAX's old reliable: grilled pork |
 |
| garlic and cheese grilled scallops |
 |
| pomelo shake: disappointing for a place that grows the country's sweetest pomelo, this glass was sugar laden |
They threw in sweet, ripe Cavendish bananas too along with
the meal. The same bananas are sold in the restaurant for a measly 10 php per
kilo.
The branch we ate at was the original restaurant. A second,
though smaller branch has been opened at SM Davao.
This has to be one of our BEST.MEAL.EVER.
From TMW, may all your wanderings be
better than ours.
