San Miguel Generations

The last scene of this party was with The Dawn so I intently listened to them because I have adored their music since the 80's. Not that I lived through that era but I really enjoyed their music together with other OPM bands who struck gold in the industry. Back then, I saw people holding a beer bottle or two, a plate of adobo peanuts and enjoying a grand time in beerhouses which was a common sight, your fathers probably we're there too.

A few days ago, San Miguel released two videos depicting the 70's and the other showing how Millennials do it to this day. YouTuber Superman Kimpoy Feliciano, Sabado Nights Girl Yna Raymundo and The Dawn's lead vocalist Jett Pangan told us all about it and voila! We didn't know that the two videos had a connection, if you play it side by side, and listen to the music, you will be surprised how they designed it to be meant to be played like that.. like whoa!

Their brand cry this year just means whatever generation you're in, you still have a connection, we all have to celebrate that instead of talking about our differences. It's not a world of who's better, we both have our own good thing going on, and that should be the only thing that matters. We learn from the past, but we shouldn't discount what's good in this generation. Go find these nice things with a friend and play the videos side by side too, you'll enjoy it like we did.

Oh by the way, they also got me to hoard the Street Fighter/King Of Fighters arcade game during the event, they tried to beat me for hours but nobody won against me, I guess I still have it haha!

You should consider picking up a bottle after office hours, you deserve the break to celebrate what's good today.

Milk Tea Fix at Sugar Panda Abreeza Mall

It's so hot outside that you just wanna stay indoors and let the hours pass in Davao City. That's exactly why we are here in Sugar Panda, at Abreeza Mall's third floor for our own sanity, and our Milk Tea fix.

There are tons of brands out there but this one seems special because they are serving Taiwan's #1 drink, so we indulged in having some of their best sellers. First off, I like their containers because they seem to be reusable, perhaps you can just wash this off and prepare something hot later on, but since we are a little at the end of summer, and it's very humid in the Philippines, we might as well try this joint out.

Lychee Boba Milk Tea is fruity and more on the sweet side. If you love cold lychees, this would be a nice substitute.

I ordered this Brown Sugar Boba Milk with Cream Mousse. It's not that sweet (although you can ask for sugar levels), and you'll taste more of their products on the milky side rather than tea. They barely have lines in the mid afternoon so you should prolly go there around that time.

This is their Taro Boba Milk Tea. I actually like Taro but again they made this on the milky creamy side and you'll feel a little hint of earthy taro flavor with this one. Don't be afraid to try new stuff, this one is easy.

This is their Wintermelon Boba Milk Tea, which had a more caramely flavor profile. If you don't know what to order, play safe and order this one.

So if you're looking for your Milktea fix and you're trapped in Davao, try Sugar Panda out. It's not overly sweet and VERY affordable. 

You can't go wrong with good Milktea, if you want it on the milky side rather than the tea, they got you covered.

Father’s Day at Park Inn by Radisson Davao

Had a fun time with Davao, SOX bloggers this afternoon at Park Inn by Radisson Davao. I’m still with them via the Davao Food Appreciation Tour. It’s a very fancy hotel and you’d expect good things served on their in their in house restaurant called RBG (Radisson Bar and Grill). True enough they had us sample what they are planning to serve during Father’s day and I’m excited!

They had a small salad bar together with the meal plus some desserts. So veggies, fruits, Curry Empanada, Blueberry Scones (breads available at their Lobby Cafe for takeout too) before and after our meal. I specifically loved the Durian Creme Puff which was not too sweet and you only get a whiff of the durian flavor so it’s not overpowering. Actually, I had desserts first and it was totally okay.

Father’s Day Special

Their All Meat Grilled Platter, they’ve got Chicken, Pork Belly and Beef cooked seared (most of it was grilled) so it was nice for an afternoon brunch. The proteins would fill you up but all of the set meals for the occasion come with roasted vegetables, so do have lots of it while having your steak slices.

The Seafood Grilled Platter was more of my type, it had a lighter feel for me so if you’re fond of Grilled Squid, Tuna Belly and Shrimp, then this would be best for you. It also comes with the roasted vegetables so give in to your seafood fantasies with Dad during this month.

However if Dad wants a bit of it all, try their Surf and Turf so you get Grilled Squid, Tuna Belly, Chicken and Beef. The man of the house all the care and pampering he should get on Fathers Day.

Go visit them on June 15-16 and have your fix of Dad’s favorite dishes :) and it ain’t bad to have a break with the greatest man of your life right?

Park Inn by Radisson Davao is behind the SM Lanang Premier.
