Pizzas by Basti’s Brew: Chicken Pesto, Spicy Gambas, and Spanish Sardines

One of Davao’s pioneering homegrown coffeeshops has celebrated another milestone. Basti’s Brew celebrated their 15th Year Anniversary on October 10, 2014. Owners Randall Ong and Vanessa Ong celebrated the occasion with a lunch with Davao Bloggers. For Basti’s Brew’s 15th Year Anniversary, they re-introduced and highlighted all the best-selling dishes that has made them popular over the years.

In the midst stiff competition and the influx of international chains, Basti’s Brew has remained as one of the go-to coffeeshops in Davao City. This is primarily due to three reasons: good coffee, delicious comfort food for snacks and meals, and a cozy ambiance.

Check out some of their best-sellers.

As part of the Davao Food Appreciation Tour, fourteen very lucky bloggers ate a five-course meal at the Polo Bistro Pool Lounge of the Marco Polo Hotel.

First off, we tried the very peppery (but not spicy) Pepper-Crusted Seared Tuna served with Cucumber and Kani Relish. It was very successful in making our tongues be prepared for more Continental Cuisine delights prepared by Sous Chef Alex Bomanlag.

After the appetizer, we were served the very rich, very flavorful, and very, very cheesy French Onion Soup with Parmesan, Mozarella, and Ementhal Cheeses. Being a cheese-lover, I was enamored with the French Onion Soup. The cheeses complemented the delicate soup very well. I do not eat onions but I savored every onion strip in that soup.

Then came the salad and main dish combo. The Fresh Greens and Fruits Salad with Cesar Dressing was served with the main dish in order to cleanse our palates for the delectable main dish we were going to eat. The serving of the main dish was preceded by a live cooking presentation of our food. (SEE VIDEO!)
