Davao City
For the past few weeks, the
temperature in this side of the globe has been extremely rising. My weather app
has registered a whopping 96°F to 98°F. I have been gulping ice water – I keep
my water bottle frozen over night which I bring to work and I am not even half
way through the day, the frozen water is just ... water and not so cold
anymore. That is how hot each day has been.
To beat the heat, I enjoy a variety of
ways from a simple chocolate fudge sundae, smoothie, freshly made gelato,
frozen yogurt, ice cream cake and the iconic Pinoy layered dessert Halo-Halo.
If you’re searching for summer
indulgences to beat the heat around the Philippines, look no further. Stay
glued, it’s Chill Time here at Eat

| Davao City's Durian |
Rich with custard-like texture and having a pleasing mildly sweet flavor
encased in a powerful thick and thorny green-brown husk, shaped from round to
oblong and can weigh from two to eight kilograms and possess a striking scent
that many find to be devastatingly rancid. This is Durian, the King of Fruits.

STADIUM BUFFET RESTAURANT AND SPORTS LOUNGE : DAVAO CITY'S ALL-DAY BUFFET RESTAURANT
This is the first post of Eat To your Heart's Content's Monday Madness. I wanted to kick-off with something comfortable, meals that are not intimidating and an ambiance that sets them apart from their neighboring restaurants. So allow me to share with you one of my most memorable dining experiences in Davao City.
Back in 2010 when I heard about Stadium Buffet Restaurant and Sports Lounge, I instantly wanted to visit this new sports-themed restaurant. So when I visited Davao City in the last quarter of that year, I did not hesitate. Upon arriving Francisco Bangoy International Airport, my beau and I headed to this interesting themed-dining destination.
My eyes aglow as I spotted its facade beaming with vibrant hues of yellow, red and blue. As we entered the premises, a young lass greeted us and just a foot away was an array of all things delectable.
The restaurant is comparatively small compared to Manila's sports-themed restaurants like National Sports Grill in Makati City, but it surely did not disappoint its buffet breakfast offering. Priced at Php129, you get to savor a variety of dishes and desserts to perk your morning.

Slices of white bread which you can toast yourself, white rice, a number of viands like sausages, beef loaf coated in eggs, pork & beans, and sauteed kangkong. Wanting something piping hot? Enjoy your create-your-own Mami noodles where you get to choose how much ingredients you put - julienne cut pork, carrot cut into strips and spring onions. Drinks like coffee is not part of the buffet though.
For sweet lovers like myself, I extremely enjoyed the banana cake and maja blanca in bite-sized squares while fruit lovers can partake the laid out fruits in season such as fresh watermelon and pineapple slices.
STADIUM BUFFET RESTAURANT AND SPORTS LOUNGE is an all-day buffet offering breakfast at Php129, lunch & dinner at Php149 and Merienda with eat-all-you-can Halo-Halo at Php99.

Davaoeños have a knack for reinventing the King of the Fruits – Durian. Anything imaginable, from durian candies, bars, tarts, cakes, ice cream, and yes – beverages. I visited Coco South Bistro last September and was delighted to see Durian smoothie in the menu, which they teasingly called Sensuous Durian. At an affordable Php85 a glass, the Durian smoothie was not only refreshing it was interestingly good.
