Our very tiring City Tour comes to a conclusion with a dinner at Lachi's Sans Rival, seeing what Abreeza Mall has to offer, and trying out the famed Durian Coffee at Blugre.
LACHI'S SANS RIVAL
First off, dinner at Lachi's Sans Rival. It is located at Ruby St., Marfori Heights, Davao City. It's actually quite near Ponce Suites, just a tricycle ride away. But we did the long route going there. We rode a jeepney with the signboard Potenciano which costs 8php/person. Drop off at Potenciano and then ride a jeepney to Marfori Heights which also costs 8php/person. Now this is where we got lost haha. We went off at the end of the jeepney route and we were inside a village with no restaurants or anything in sight, just a residential area. After trying to look for the right way and failing, we decided to hire a tricycle to take us directly to Lachi's which costs 15php/person.

Anyway, Lachi's is famous for their Sans Rival and other dessert items but they also have main courses, one of the most famous is the Pork Ribs. My friend ordered the Pork Marinara and I ordered the Pork Ribs. The ribs were amazing! Probably better than the ribs in Lyndon's but both are very, very tasty. I just liked the ribs in Lachi's better. The Pork Marinara was also a delight and was very delicious. To top off our amazing dinner, we ordered one slice of their famous Sans Rival which was also perfect! It was not super sweet like some sans rival, but nonetheless, it was amazing. The total price of our dinner was 362php which was not bad for 2 persons.

ABREEZA MALL
After that, we decided to do some grocery shopping at Abreeza Mall. Now, here's the ironic part. We were able to hire a tricycle going to the corner near Abreeza which costs only 15php/person. To just recall, Ponce Suites is near Abreeza Mall. So we only had to hire one tricycle going to Lachi's, it was that close haha. Anyway, Abreeza Mall is an Ayala Mall. It's a regular mall but I was surprised at how big it was. We just bought some shampoos and stuffs and then we decided to try the Durian Coffee in Blugre.
BLUGRE CAFE
There are several branches of Blugre Cafe in Davao and in Gensan. The branches in Davao are located at Matina Town Square, SM Lanang, Gaisano Mall, Davao Doctor's, and in Landco Corporate Center along JP Laurel Avenue (which is the nearest one in Ponce Suites). From Abreeza Mall, it was just one jeepney ride away. Anyway, me being the more adventurous and brave one when it comes to food, I opted to try the famous Durian Gatchpuccino (which is basically capuccino with bits of durian in it) which costs 150php and my friend tried the Cookies and Cream Frappe which costs 125php. Let me just say this one thing, I am really not a fan of durian. I've been in Davao for 3 days already and the durian taste and smell is just not appealing to me. The coffee was a bit of a surprise haha. I was expecting just a tinge of durian flavor, but it was bursting with durian smell and when I took a sip of it, it just tasted purely durian with a tinge of coffee. To top it off, it even has durian bits so, yeah, not a good experience for me lol. Good thing we were full from our Lachi's dinner that's why we didn't try the Durian Cheesecake. The Cookies and Cream Frappe was too sweet for me as well. So, with a not-so-happy cup of coffee in our hands, we hired a tricycle to take us back to Ponce Suites which costs 10php/person and back to our beds to end a very tiring 3rd day in Davao.
