As part of the Davao Bloggers’ Food Trip, we had a sumptuous and very satisfying free lunch at Belly’s Grill today. In attendance were Ria, Tiara, Winston, Maita, Bbboy, Andrew, and Gwing. Belly’s Grill became known for their tasty Grilled Scallops which I got to taste before. Unfortunately, there were no scallops today due to the bad weather. I know this because Celine, the owner, explained it to us. The owners who were so nice (but Celine’s husband was kinda shy), allowed us to order anything on the menu.

Special Kinilaw with Grilled Pork Bits

So for appetizers / viands we ordered their Special Kinilaw, Sisig, and Calamares. The Kinilaw was not “overcooked.” It had the right combination of vinegar, spices, fish, and pork. The sisig was good, not too spicy, and not too salty either, it was just right. Although Andrew thought it might have some liver, I didn’t taste any of it. The calamares also tasted great even when I didn’t dip it in the mayo-ketchup dipping sauce.

Today, I had lunch with Winston at Hanoi Vietnamese Restaurant. We only paid PhP37 all thanks to the PhP1,000 gift certificate we won.

Hanoi Shrimp and Pomelo Salad
Pomelo Salad

We ordered the Pomelo Salad for appetizer.

For our main course, we ordered Bo Luc Lac and Chicken Curry.

Hanoi Bo Luc Lac
Bo Luc Lac

My favorite dish of the day is Bo Luc Lac. It is Sirloin Beef with Tomatoes. The beef was tender and very flavorful. And the tomatoes were juicy and not overcooked.

The Chicken Curry has a mild curry taste, not spicy at all.
