The Davao Experience: A Gastronomic Treat at Hog's Breath Cafe

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

For our lunch we opted to try the Hog's Breath Cafe, an Australian Steakhouse located at SM Lanang. It's one jeepney ride away from Lon Wa Buddhist Temple. We also got to reunite with our 2 friends who opted to just relax at the hotel hehe.

Hog's Breath Cafe at SM Lanang


The place looked awesome, the ambiance is so western-y and there are several frames with various pictures on the walls. There are also several televisions all around the restaurant which contributes to the western feeling. Plus, there's free wifi! The staffs and waiters are also very friendly and hospitable. Their food ranges from steaks, to chickens, to ribs, pizzas and pastas, everything that is American/Australian. The downside, which is a huge downside, are the prices! The steaks alone can reach thousand pesos. One meal costs a minimum of 400php plus.

Anyway, we ordered the Finger Food Platter Combo for our appetizer which costs 695php. It consists of buffalo wings, chicken tenders, pepper dusted calamari. It's very pricey but it's also very very yummy! The buffalo wings are a bit spicy but very delicious. The chicken tenders are just soft and tender and the calamari is also very tender and juicy. That alone had us bursting in our tummy haha. But we still ordered other foods. I ordered the Aussie Burger which costs 395php and my friend ordered the Pepperoni and Cheese Pizza which costs 295php. The burger was huge!! And it comes with a large serving of fries! The pizza was very cheesy, that one we enjoyed. One of my friend also tried the Chicken and Rib Combo which costs 595php. The ribs were ok, but I liked the one in Lyndon's and in Lachi's better and it's also cheaper. The total of our meal for 4 persons was approximately 2500php to 3000php which was really pricey.

With full tummies, the 4 of us parted ways again, my 2 friends opted to go to a spa while the 2 of us opted to go to People's Park. We hired a taxi which costs 120php.

Next: our People's Park adventure!
