There's a new restaurant in Davao that serves dishes inspired by international cuisine but are made with local ingredients. Chez Nous by Chippens is now open at Padre Gomez St. corner Roxas Ave., Davao City. Chez Nous (shey noo) is a French term for "at our home" and it is owned by Chef Chino San Jose, the son of the owners of Chippens Restaurant. Chef Chino invited us to get first dibs on their best dishes, drinks, and desserts.

STARTERS
POUTINE (P95) - Thrice cooked thick cut fries with Beef Gravy and Melted Cheese
CAJUN SHRIMP WITH MANGO MOUSSE AND SALSA (P135) - Cajun spiced shrimp sauteed in brown butter, served with mango mousse and salsa

DRINKS


LYCHEE MINT (P135) - Lychee, Mint, Lemon, Aloe Vera Floaters

I would recommend you to try all of the fish dishes above and the rib eye steak. For the dessert, enjoy a big slice of the Triple Layer Chocolate Mousse. It's not too sweet but it's addicting. I really love their fresh fruit drinks especially the Lychee Mint. It cleanses your palate and you'll love nibbling the Aloe Vera floaters.

The Davao Chocolate Festival was formally opened last September 25, Friday at the SM City Davao Annex Event Center. This festival actually started last year and due to the success of it, the exhibitors gathered together to continue to give Dabawenyos the taste of chocolates made only in Mindanao.

There will be a lot of guests who will check out the displays, samples, or products at the festival.

The Davao’s most anticipated and exciting bazaar is back on its 5th year! The Great Kadayawan Trade Fair and Bazaar 2015 is now officially open at Davao Convention and Trade Center located at F. Torres St. It’s a gathering of Davaoeño businessmen, food shop owners, and entrepreneurs  to market and sell their food and products. I got the chance to visit some shops and booths at the bazaar with my fellow Davao Bloggers yesterday. Here are some of them that I would recommend you to visit.

GET ORGANIZED

I love this shop! I’ve been eyeing to buy organizers for my travels and even for my not-so-organized stuff at home and in the office. Well, maybe they are the answer to my not-so-organized life. #Hugot. They sell unique, high-functionality, trendy, and affordable organizers, bags, and travel packs for a clutter-free lifestyle. They are also selling in all CHIMES Specialty Stores and NCCC Supermarket.

They started selling dim sum from the same trade fair last 2013 and after that, they were the talk of the town. They serve the best siomai and siopao right now and I just want to take home some.

They are located beside Caitlyn's so it’s not hard to find them. They serve flavored lemonades in a unique sling pack. You can choose from 4 flavors - Green Apple, Kiwi, Passion Fruit, and Lychee. You must try the Passion Fruit flavor!

KAI’S ARTISAN CHOCOLATES

I must say, this made me happy the whole night! You got to love chocolates and you got to love KAI’S. Why? It’s home-made and it’s made from scratch! My eyes were gleaming when I had a chance to taste all of their chocolates in one seating. The best one for me was the Matcha Chocolate.

They are the newest in town, but they surprised us with what they have to offer. They serve burgers with 100% pure beef and it’s also 100% delicious! You got to order their Bacon burger or their Homemade Bacon and Mozzarella Sandwich.
