I know I have not been actively blogging this past few months and my usual excuse is work, travel, work, and work but I think it’s about time for me to forget work for a while and have fun. That’s why I’m so glad to be a part of this year’s Davao Food Appreciation Tour – or more popularly known as DFAT. Let me just say that I am very privileged and fortunate to be one of the chosen bloggers so thank you DFAT 2012 Organizers!
This is going to be my third time to visit Davao. The first time I went there was for my company’s Christmas Party last December 2008, and the second time was May last year with Jane and my younger sister Dainah. Looking at this year’s itinerary for DFAT, I think I will finally be able to see, experience, and taste the real Davao. I know it’s going to be fun because our guides will be the local Davao bloggers. Jane only has positive words to say about these guys so I’m taking her word for it. Hahaha! Anyway I’m excited to meet everyone including other bloggers from the whole country. Davao is one of our (Jane and I) favorite places and we just can’t wait to go back!
Below is the itinerary for the Davao Food Appreciation Tour 2012. Sharing it with everyone so that when the time comes for you to visit Davao, maybe you can follow this itinerary too.

Bong’s 8 Arroz Caldo in Oton
Jan 15th
It was a lazy afternoon and Jane and I were resting after working on some chores and online tasks. I was hungry because we only had brunch with Jane’s brothers and we didn’t feel like cooking so we decided to go to town and eat arroz caldo at Bong’s 8.
Bong’s 8 is this simple arrozcaldohan located beside South Coast International School in Oton, Iloilo. They serve surprisingly delicious arroz caldo there. Their chicken siopao is also noteworthy. It’s not as good as Roberto’s but it’s halfway there. 
When you order arroz caldo you get a choice whether you would like it with eggs and chicken. They also serve batchoy and pork siopao. And guess what – they also have free wifi for their customers!
Here’s a photo Jane took with her android phone:
