Delish Treat: Dexter's Pizza

Gastronomic Adventure is one bonding activity my family loves to do. In short, we love to eat and try out different restaurants and food chains. This weekend, we tried Dexter's Pizza at Caltex Starmart in Ecoland, Quimpo Boulevard which is very near SM City Davao. 

I was surprised that they serve big pizzas with very affordable prices. It was also advantageous for us that they have kiddie sizes (Php 60/each) because Jeka and Lena do not like the same variety of pizza. I must say that their pizzas were good and served fresh. Aside from pizzas they also serve wings and wedges. We ordered the 6 pieces at Php 125. 
Shawarma Pizza at Php 285 for 5- 7 persons
Spanish Sardines Pizza at Php 200 for 3-5 persons
I would like to share with you another good news for our family: Lena got good grades and improved already with her confidence in school and Jeka is an honor student again. Big thanks to my Creator for always guiding and blessing my family.

Until our next Gastronomic Adventure!

Second day of November

All soul's day was another epic quality time for my family. Instead of visiting the cemetery, which we did on October 31st, we visited St. Paul Parish in Juna Subdivision to offer prayers and to light candles for our beloved. We were able to explore the church (which we cannot do on a regular church day) because there were only few people present.

The scorching heat of the sun brought us to a happy place to eat ice cream. Our feet led us to Caltex Starmart in Ecoland. And I promise, for our next visit, I will have a date with Chocolate Truffle Magnum.

A trip to SM City Davao in Ecoland will always be in the itinerary. And guess who got lucky!

Our Halloween 2012

The girls have not been joining the bandwagon during Halloween. So, instead of putting on a costume and going trick or treat, this year we decided to head to the beach and enjoy the sun. We went to the white beach Paradise Island and Beach Resort located at Island Garden City of Samal.

There were few people in the resort which made the place serene and more apt for a family bonding.

And for the first time, Jessica and Lena tried the Power Paddle which costs Php 120 for 30 minutes.

Then, the girls decided to visit the playground and I was surprised how their playground has improved over the years.

And because the sun and the beach are not so much for us, our next stop was at the new SM Lanang Premier. Our mall visit was such a treat because SM offered so much for the kids and adults too. The mall staff are in costume which made shopping extra fun.

Before going home, we ate our dinner at Tokyo Tokyo which is located at the 3rd Floor of SM Lanang Premier. Mamo, Nonoy and I are big fans of Japanese food and Tokyo Tokyo offers Japanese food for the price of a fast food chain. 

Up: California Maki; Down: Spicy Beef Maki Php 99 for 8 pcs
Katsudon for Php 85
Prawns and Veggie + California Maki Bento Meal for Php 185
It has been a fun-filled Halloween celebration for the family. We went home tired but very happy. Next year, I am thinking of letting the girls join the bandwagon: Lena as Black Widow and Me as Pepper Potts.
