1. Crocodile Park’s Crocodile Sausage Sandwich - I’m sure you’ve seen many suspense movies where the crocodile attacks a secluded lake house and kills many people. But in crocodile park, you get to have your own sweet revenge. Just kidding, crocodiles. Indulge in an exotic snack experience by trying out the park’s Crocodile Sausage sandwich. You can pick from variants Australian cheese and Pepper sausage. Tastes just as good, with the texture a little starchier than chicken. It’s not everyday you get to change the plot of those gory movies. A sandwich only costs P95. What a treat!

2. Mamu’s Tetrazzini – Mother of carbonara, that’s what this yummy pasta is about. At face value, it really looks like carbonara. No surprise there, as the same ingredients are used except that this one’s creamier and the paste is only made of cream, bacon and mushrooms. No egg yolks and other extenders. From the moment it’s served, you’d feel in one with its mouth-watering aroma. After a helping, you won’t look at carbonara the same way again. Top it off with a glass of wine. A serving costs only a little below P300. Mamu’s is located at F.S. Dizon st. (formerly Bacaca road), Davao city.

4. Pizzaccademia’s Pop Steak Sandwich – You’d finally believe how an upscale viand can taste as good in a sandwich when you taste Pizzaccademia’s Pop Steak Sandwich. It’s made of tender, thinly sliced sirloin beef, veiled with rich cheese filling and enclosed in a pillow-soft bun. Try out their delicious pizza line too! Our favorite is their Beer Lovers Pizza. Pizzaccademia is located at the back of USEP, Loyola st., Obrero, Davao city.

5. Zabadani’s Pita Shateerah – Even though its name sounds like a pop star, you’ll surely feel like one when you get to taste this unique Mediterranean dish. It’s made of ground spiced beef, cheese and fresh leafy greens enveloped in a sheet of lightly toasted Pita bread. Best to pair up with your regular softdrinks or one of Zabadani’s iced chocolate concoctions. Zabadani is located at The Peak, Gaisano Mall, Davao city.

So quit complaining you’ve got nothing new on the menu.
