The Davao Experience: Taps, The Breakfast Capital of Davao

This is the ninth part of our 4-days-3-nights Davao Experience.

This is the start of our Day 3 in Davao aka Our City Tour Adventure. Originally, we planned a Do-It-Yourself tour. But most of the places is accessible by taxis (which costs a lot) and some are in really far places (such as the Eagle Center and Eden Nature Park) so we decided to try a rent a car. We had no idea how hard it would be to find a Rent a Car in a city like Davao! Almost all are on the range of 2000-2500php for the whole day which does not include gas. So it was a bit steep for us. Also, some of them have different rates if you're going to Eagle Center or Eden Nature Park compared to if you would just be staying in the main city. Luckily for us, after a long search (and probably high celfone bills haha) we were able to score one which costs 1500php excluding gas, but including a driver. Our rough estimate for gas was around 1000php. So that would be a total of 2500php, which is 625php/person. Which, I guess was ok.

Before heading out to the great unknown that is the City Tour (drama haha), we first had breakfast at Taps. It is said to be the breakfast capital of Davao City and it is seen everywhere. I am a breakfast person and I love anything that has a "silog" in their name so I was really excited to try this place. We ate at their Palma Gil Branch which was just beside People's Park. I had the Lekasilog and my friend had the Tapsilog. True to the reviews, it was delicious. Better than Tapa King haha. The Tapsilog wasn't sweet (which is good because I hate sweet tapsilogs) and the Lekasilog was tasty, albeit too oily. So, again, with a happy tummy, we set off to our first destination for our City Tour which is the Eden Nature Park.
