Philippine Beaches: Dahican Beach, Mati, Davao Is A Wild Pacific Mati Beach

May 02, 2018
Swim At Your Own Risk on this Wild Pacific Mati Beach, Philippine Beaches - taken in Dahican Beach, Mati, Davao
This Mati Philippine beach, which faces the Pacific Ocean, will challenge swimmers.

Dahican Beach, Mati, Davao is Pacific Ocean beach surprise gem among many Philippine beaches we have been to.

We were not expecting a beach like this existed. It had shallow reefy areas great for experiencing calmer waters.  We featured that on a blog post here

However, on this MunchTrip.blogspot.com post will be a video of the wild side of Dahican Beach Mati. You will see the deep areas have waves with heights over a meter on the other side of the beach.

Highs and lows.

There is so much on this beach that caters to different types of Thalassophile* (whoa, new and big word for us).

Without further ado, here is one more for the best beaches in the Philippines some of you may have never been to.


HOW TO GET TO DAHICAN BEACH, MATI, DAVAO
I know of only one way to get to Dahican Beach, Mati, Davao.
  • by land:
    • 2+ from Tagum City to Mati
    • 3+ from Davao City to Mati
    • 8+ hours from Cagayan de Oro to Mati via Malaybalay City and Tagum City
    • 10+ hours from Cagayan de Oro to Mati via Valencia and Davao City
Technically, there is Mati Airport (MXI), but as of the time I'm writing this, it only caters to small privately owned planes. Going to Mati by ferry or ship is still not possible, but the closest port is SASA Pier of Davao City. If you discover other ways of getting to Mati, tell do share on the comments section below.

Travel tip: When in Dahican, Mati, Davao

There are motorcabs in neighboring municipalities of Dahican, Mati.  We only saw one or two in the area.

They are not the same as Cagayan de Oro's motorela although closer to Medina's motorsikad.

I did not notice any taxis and jeepneys around Dahican, Mati.  However, we have been told that habal-habal can be hired.  These are motorbikes that take passengers.  we have not gone on one in Dahican though.

Therefore, we would recommend that you bring a car or hire a van when in Dahican, Mati.



Swim at your own risk. Waves can get to 2 meters in height.

Sunbathe.

Skim.

Surf.

SEAFOOD.

Sleep.

Simple. ;)

and here below are some options to answer your questions on "where to stay in Medina Misamis Oriental".

Below are short article reviews of accommodations available in Medina.


Resort de Alberto Hotel mini-review
I stayed at this hotel for three nights earlier this year.  My purpose was to visit Medina, Misamis Oriental.

This place is good if you want to stay close to the Municipal Hall of Medina, but also just one motorsikad away from the Duca White Beach, and Medina's Alibuag Cold Spring.

Rates are slightly above average compared to other options at 2000-3000 Php (40-60 USD).  They serve free plated "silog" breakfast to their hotel guests.

Travel Tips While staying in Resort de Alberto
During my previous visit, their WIFI internet worked fine for two out of three days that I stayed there. So, if you need to be connected all the time to internet, have a back up.

Duka Bay Resort mini-review
I stayed at this resort for two nights earlier this year.

My purpose was to go on vacation with my family.  I loved waking up in front of the beach and being a few minutes from where I can swim.

Rates are above average compared to other options at 2500-5000 Php (50-100 USD).  They, too, serve plated "silog" breakfast to their hotel guests.

Travel Tips While staying in Duka Bay Resort
Go out of the room and get your money's worth.  Swim!
Their free wifi was good near the restaurant.  However, the rooms or villas are far so bring your own if you really need to stay connected.

Secrets to Getting to One of the Best Philippine Beaches In Medina Misamis Oriental

April 05, 2018

Best Philippine Beaches - Medina Misamis Oriental
Best Beaches in the Philippines - Medina Misamis Oriental - MunchTrip

Medina, Misamis Oriental is no Boracay island, but it has a white beach that cures my Vitamin sea deficiency.  This beach is in Duca, where Philippine beach resorts like Duka Bay Resort, DU Dy, and Capistrano Beach are known mostly only to locals.  Duca beach (a.k.a. Duca White Beach) is one of the best beaches in the Philippines, and yet some of you have probably never been there.

HOW TO GET TO MEDINA, MISAMIS ORIENTAL
I know of three ways to get to Medina, Misamis Oriental:
  • via Cagayan de Oro City Misamis Oriental by bus
  • via Camiguin by barge and bus
  • via Butuan by bus

I am most familiar with the route via Cagayan de Oro City, which is 2-3 hours away by bus.

Choose the "Portulin" Medina bus stop near Duka Bay resort.  This is the quickest way to go to the beach area. Most bus conductors know this bus stop, too.  But, if you happen to accidentally find yourself at the other bus stop, Fiesta Brand in Cabug, do not panic.  Take the next tip below.


Travel tip: When in Medina, Misamis Oriental
Medina Misamis Oriental mode of transportation
When in Medina, travel by "motorsikad".

Recommended way to travel around Medina is by motorsikad, Medina's main means of public transportation.

It not the same as Cagayan de Oro's motorela.  The seating arrangement is also different, but it is just as interesting in structure.

Motorsikad fare per passenger varies from 7 to 10 Php pesos  (0.20-0.25 USD), so get your change ready.

If you happened to ride a "sikad", a bike with sidecar or motorsikad without a motor, the fare varies on your conscience.  Ha ha!  But seriously, it varies from 5 to 10 pesos per passenger.  It is best to ask the engine (a.k.a the driver with human power) before going on the ride.

There are no taxis and jeepneys around Medina.

Motorsikads, and sikads rarely operate after 9PM.  So enjoy the silence and the fresh air.

MEDINA, MISAMIS ORIENTAL MAIN ATTRACTIONS
Beach Philippine Beaches - Medina Misamis Oriental - MunchTrip

Medina Misamis Oriental - MunchTrip
Duca white beach is on my list for the best beaches in the Philippines.  The local beach resorts here with at least basic amenities are Duka Bay resort, Capistrano resort, and D.U. Dy resort.




It is no Boracay beach, so do not expect commercial food chains 10 meters from the shore of this beautiful Philippine beach.



Medina's Alibuag Cold Spring, is a wonderfully unique swimming attraction as well.  A cemented rock pool surrounding a natural freshwater cold spring.  The water is clear and very cold.  You might want to see it to believe it.

Then, a special event that is worth mentioning is “Hinuklog.”  It is a Medina re-enactment street play based on "Pasyon Ni Kristo" (translation Passion of Christ).  It happens during the Holy days of the Holy Week.  It is a yearly tradition in Medina, Misamis Oriental that continues to gain popularity among Christian and non-Christian tourists.

Travel Across Different Dishes With Your Tongue At District on 53rd inCebu Philippines

November 05, 2016
Sail away and fly to different destinations via food with District on 53rd’s menu choices of 53 dishes  inspired by food from all around the world.

Details below...


In my travels I go for food that is distinct to each culture to study the different ingredients used and taste the fusion of flavours that create certain dishes unique to my palette.  

An experience that can be so mind-blowing and eye-opening (or maybe tongue-opening?) when one discovers certain herbs when mixed with a country's specie of fruit can make all the difference to make your tongue venture into different possibilities in flavour.

District on 53rd is a restaurant that is inspired by unique food items, dishes, and drinks to specific favourite countries visited and tasted.  A wonderful concept that I myself dreamed of having (when I have my own restaurant), brought to reality.

One can let their tongue travel around the world with the menu of 53 dishes.  

For the Cebu Food Crawl, we started with Watermelon Daiquiri, and a complimentary District Sungka of Hummus Harissa (mashed chickpeas, tahini sesame paste, harissa chili pepper paste), Pesto Dip (mayonnaise, walnuts, basil pesto), Mango Chutney (ripe mango, sugar, apple cider vinegar, cumin), Tomato Salsa (tomato, bell pepper, basil, onion) to dip in with our Homemade Chips and Turmeric bread.

Followed by a lovely Porcini Fondue with Focaccia Bread (good as comfort food).  This was cheesy creamy with bits of mushroom and ham.

I had a taste of their Chinese Malay-inspired “Noodle Seafood Laksa” 24th in the 53.  If you are a fan of sour soups like the Filipino Sinigang, you will enjoy this.

Then lastly, Pistachio Lamb Shish Kebab 48th in the 53...

nicely complimented with Lemon + Calamansi Margherita.
Overall, I found District on 53rd as a lovely place to remember certain food you have tried in different countries.  Also if you are curious about food from cuisines you have never tried before, this is a good stop.

What If You Had Trouble Choosing?
For those who crave the Filipino favourites, the lechon, adobo, and some other Filipino food are still available in the menu.  So no need to panic if the selection is too diverse for your taste.


Aside from the 53 dishes, there are also choices of sandwiches, breakfast staples, pastries, bread, and ice creams.



District on 53rd is one of the restaurants that boast of bringing in flavours from different sides of the world in the desire to please the bored palette.

If you want to be transported to different cuisines in one sitting, you now know this place.

District on 53rd is located in Cyberzone, Filinvest, Salinas Drive, Lahug, Cebu City.  It is open from 7:00am-1:00am 7 days a week.

That's it.

Catch me on my next munchtrip!

Bye bye my fellow munchters.

Relax In The Philippines at Shangri-La's Mactan Resort and Spa in Cebu

October 14, 2016
Shangri-la Resort and Spa Hotel in Cebu is a beautiful escape from the mundane.  This is based on my extraordinary experience. If you were spending your summer in the Philippines, this luxury spot might just be what you were looking for after visiting some of the best Philippine beaches.

It was day two in the Cebu Food Crawl 2016.  We had a tour at Profoods Corp and a short stop at Cafe Jasmin for a Cafe White.  I had a milky caffeinated cup because I didn’t sleep the night before.  I probably should’ve gotten something else with less milk.

Bevato Egg Rolls Come Rolling In From Kenko Naicha

October 06, 2016


BEVATO Egg Rolls come in many flavours and Black Sesame is my fave!
Kenko Naicha now has food to munch on, did you not know?

To pair with Kenko Naicha’s drinks, they now have with pastas, meals, and egg rolls as well.

I came across Black Sesame Egg Rolls.  I took one roll.  I had a bite and a few pieces crumbled at the sides of my lips.  I stick out my tongue to save it from falling because it was a flavourful hallow sweet thing.

More delicate, less crunchy, these egg rolls should not be mistaken with the barquillos from the clear packs of pasalubong shops.  These egg rolls do not have polvoron either or peanut brittle in it.  This is not turrones de mani, which is also known as “Cacahuate”.

I chew some more.  The more the pieces broke apart in my mouth the more of the flavour bursted.  It delighted me and made me think “I’m glad I got that over the other flavours, because I liked it more than any other.”

The matcha-flavoured was promising but I find myself liking really strong almost grassy-like matcha like on Japanese Matcha Kitkats, so this one did not get me as mush as the black sesame did.

If not familiar with sesame (which i doubt), the nutty smell of sesame that is somewhat close to peanuts, and almonds are what greets you first.  As I munch on these brittle cigar-sized sweets the taste, reminded me of sweet black sesame Korean bread I once tasted in Missy Bon Bon.  

If you want something sweet, nutty, and comforting.  A pack of BEVATO Egg Rolls are sold at Kenko Naicha and other partner "tinabu-an" shops in Cagayan de Oro.

They can be a nice appetiser, snack, or dessert.  However you want it. 


Imagine this delicate delicacies on top of your ice cream?  I can.

As for their food selection, I have tried three and liked the Tomato Herb Chicken Pasta, priced at 199 PH pesos, most as it had the bit of sourness I love in Italian style pasta.


Kenko Naicha's Tomato Herb Chicken Pasta



So if you come across any of the Kenko branches in:

- Big R Robinsons 2nd floor, Limketkai Center, Lapasan, Cagayan de Oro- Centrio Mall 3rd floor near cinemas, Corrales St, Cagayan de Oro- Limketkai Mall 2nd floor near cinemas 1 & 2, Lapasan, Cagayan de Oro- Major P.N. Roa Street, Carmen, Cagayan de Oro Cityand- Laguindingan Airport Boarding Area 2nd floor, Laguindingan- Bellfranz Building, Ubaldo street, Iligan

make sure to check out their food choices as well as their tea selection.


That's it.

Catch you on my next munchtrip.

Bye Bye my fellow munchters.

How To Court Someone With Philippine Mango aka Carabao Mango

September 23, 2016
Carabao/Philippine Mangos harvested in Cebu at Profood International Corp
People do crazy things for love.  People do crazy things because they love the Philippine mango too.

Why Sweet Mangoes are Enjoyed in The Philippines
The mango is the National Fruit of the Philippines.  But it is not only us, Filipinos, who love this  diverse fruit.

Philippine mango also known as "carabao mango" (Carabao mango by Wikipedia) and this among exotic fruits is known around the world for its exotic sweetness that contributed to a big craving for these.

How Are Sweet Mangoes Enjoyed
The best way to experience the Philippine mango is eating it fresh and sweet when ripe.  

All needed are the experienced skills to know the firmness is just right (not too mushy) and the aromatic smell is beckoning you to eat it.  The looks of the mango skin alone do not tell the ripeness.

1. With the mango skin still on, slice into three parts.  The middle being the pit.  

2. The cheeks (inner part or meat) of the mango is then scored diagonally.

3. Scored another time across to intersect with previous lines.  You should be seeing multiple hashtags (#) now.

4. Then pushed up to reveal diamonds of pulp sweetness.

Another favourite preferences of enjoying sweet mangos are in Mango Float (a chilled Filipino food eaten as dessert made up of mango slices layered between graham crackers, cold cream and condensed milk).


How To Court Someone With The Philippine Mango
I remember my Philippine History teacher in high school once said, the mango is shaped like a human heart, so it symbolises love.

"Ows?"

If you like a person and you want to tell that person that he or she is sweet, give sweet mangoes.  It will surely give her a smile.

But if you want to profess your whirlwind-like romance for someone, especially a Filipina, don't give her chocolate and flowers.  Instead give her mangos.  Find the face-wrenching sour green mango and add uyap**.

If you are lucky to be in the Philippines, it is only 20 PH Pesos (less than 0.50 USD)

You may say "WHUT?" to this combination but it is so good.

It is a rollercoaster of umami, tangy, and sweet that will make her jump off her feet and into your arms.

Try it.  Good luck!

That's it.

Catch you on my next MunchTrip.

Bye bye my fellow munchters.

September 16, 2016
Yin and Yang combo of local favourites
This by far is the best karinderya* Sinuglaw** and Sisig I have tasted in Cagayan de Oro.  

Thinking about it makes my mouth water already.  It is so so good.

I first discovered this when my Aunt Elsa shared with me that there is a karinderya where she always buys her sisig.  She also assured me that the place can be trusted with their food as she knows the owner, ms Dinah, her old friend and ex-colleague.

I was hangry -- angry plus hungry.  I rushed to 4-21.

"Conveniently situated at a corner.  Ok!"

Easy to locate with a big tarp that had the name, Dinah's Fud Haus.

Went to see the pots and pans that contained the food.  I ordered the viand that had one serving left, then my Aunt's recommendation.

"One Sinuglaw, One Sisig, Two single rice."

Sinuglaw and Rice (40 PH Pesos)
Ayayay. Creamy. Tangy. Spicy. YES!  The sinuglaw that keeps me craving for more, so beware of your diet.

Sisig and Rice (40 PH Pesos)
Woooh.  Thick-sauced savory and a bit sweet, sisig to pair is perfect.

They are like Yin and Yang, I go from one to the other.

Immediately I went from hearing heavy metal to zen music.  So much love went into the food.  And if you are lucky, ms Dinah will serve you food and even call you "anak" (term of endearment meaning "my child").  How homey.

Both meals are 40PH Pesos with viand and rice at Dinah's Eatery.

Oh, Egan and I ate at 4th-21st.  I might have forgotten to mention I was not alone though I'm sure some of you thought I ate all of the above by myself.  Huh?

4-21 Nazareth

Back to the topic, yes, that is one karinderya plus, they have branches in Tomas Saco-14 and Pabayo-Chaves (Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines), all very accessible via motorela or taxi.


Yup.  Splendid eats.

That's it.  Catch you on my next munchtrip.

Bye bye my fellow munchters.
