So how was your Valentine’s Day? The My Davao City Team was privileged to have spent it with extraordinarily good food at one of Davao’s landmark food establishments. On February 14, Blue Post Boiling Crabs and Shrimps new menu items were launched.

Boiling Crabs and Shrimps continue to be one of the must-try restaurants in Davao showcasing the best-tasting, freshest seafood dishes. With their continuing commitment to delivering new seafood dishes to tickle the palates of locals and tourists, Blue Post introduced new menu items that can be best described as intriguing.

Appetizers

Their new menu items include five appetizer dishes to tease the taste buds of their patrons and offer new seafood flavors to relish.

First is a dish familiar to a lot of Filipinos: Crispy Fried Crablets.

This dish may sound and look simple. But to those who have tried it will attest that it offers a unique combination of flavors and textures. Dip it in one of Blue Post’s vinegar concoctions and it will surely get you excited and make you crave for more of their seafood delights.

Undeniably, the favorite of the My Davao City Team is the Garlic Fried Baby Octopus.

This dish is such a revelation. Most of us tried baby octopus for the first time and we didn’t really know what to expect. But we all agree that this is a must-try. After one piece, we just kept coming back to get another piece. And another. And another. We had to stop ourselves because we had more dishes to try.

Oysters

While Davao is easily a haven for seafood lovers, we are admittedly not abundant in oysters. Luckily, Blue Post Boiling Crabs and Shrimps has decided to bring in oysters and offer two oyster dishes in their menu.

Did you know Davao’s Kadayawan Festival is the only major festival in the Philippines that is not rooted in Christian feast? Rather, it is a thanksgiving celebration that features the unique melting pot culture of Davao. It gives tribute and highlights the 10 tribes of Davao, the source of Davao’s rich history, arts, and culture.

In celebration of Kadayawan 2015, Marco Polo Davao shines the spotlight on Davao’s unique arts and culture through a unique Kadayawan Art Exhbit. The exhibit features Davao’s culture expressed through the modern arts of fashion design and photography.
