To cap the first day DFAT 2013 , we headed to Greenwich Ilustre branch in downtown Davao as they welcomed us with their latest pizza and pasta offerings : The Ultimate Special Overload Pizza,  Ultimate Hawaiian Overload and the Greenwich Lasagna Supreme.

Greenwich, one of the popular pizza chains in the country goes out of its way to bring mouth-watering pizza delights that not only exceed your expectation but also set a standard of best-tasting and value-for-money pizza and pasta there is.

The Ultimate Special Overload Pizza has 13 sumptuous toppings which consist of slices of beef, bacon, pepperoni, and salami; sprinkled with fresh mushrooms, olives, red/green bell pepper, onion and minced garlic

The Ultimate Special Overload Pizza brings you to an all-new world of gastronomic pizza experience. It is the most loaded pizza available in the market today,  giving pizza-lovers the best tummy fix up to the last bite.

Day 1 of DFAT 2013 was truly a day of firsts as it was my first time to dine at Tsuru. (What a shame, lol!) Tsuru has been serving authentic Japanese cuisine since 1990, and for 23 years and counting, they have been a true haven for those who want to have a taste of Japan in the heart of Davao City.

During our stop, they showed us their latest offering of flavorful Japanese rolls: Volcano, Crazy Maki, Tsuru and Godzilla rolls. Their presentation was so inviting that we couldn't wait to take a bite of these delightful dishes. (Of course, we were that patient to wait for several minutes while co-bloggers took turns to take shots and snaps for our respective blogs)

So here they are, feast your eyes on rolls that are truly Japanese:

Aren't these not enough to make you drool?

All the 25 DFAT (Davao Food Appreciation Tour) participants were uber excited especially me to start our tour and food feast in 13 establishments and 2 resorts in Davao City and nearby areas. We had our briefing and first stop at Mam Bebs Bakeshop. It's owned by the family of Davao Blogger Society's Vice President Andrew dela Cerna.

I instantly felt at home because Mam Bebs serves most of my favorite food and if you have a sweet tooth, you'll sure be in for a treat. You've got to try their famous Apple Pie (one of the best in Davao City), Egg pie, Chocolate Cake, Palabok, Custard Cake and a lot more. They also serve rice meals, the one I tasted was the Double Cooked Adobo meal combo (with rice and soup) and I love it! The best thing about dining here is their very affordable price. A good meal will only cost you less than a hundred bucks! Plus, the place is a WIFI hotspot and it's fully air-conditioned as well. Very good deal, eh?
