The Taiwanese Stewed Pork and Taiwanese Fried Pork Chop are both must-try dishes. The stew is hearty and best paired with rice. Meanwhile, the fried pork chop has a crunchy but not greasy breading with a dash of plum powder. The Congee with Preserved Eggs and Pork is great for breakfast or a heavy afternoon snack.

To complete your Lugang Cafe experience, order a Cantonese Lemon Iced Tea or a Brewed Iced Tea. The Cantonese Tea complements their savory dishes perfectly. Meanwhile, the Brewed Ice Tea is a great palate cleanser.

Kadayawan Festival is a celebration of Davao’s indigenous peoples, their arts, culture, and their invaluable contributions to Davao. There is no better way to celebrate the season than by knowing Davao’s roots and how the Indigenous Peoples, Christians, and Muslims came together to build the progressive and peaceful Davao that we now know.

A trip to Kadayawan Village in Magsaysay Park is a must. The village is home to replicas of houses and other architectural structures and buildings of the 11 Indigenous Tribes of Davao.
