Conquering Northern Mindanao: Food Tripping at Limketkai Mall

This is the ninth part of our 4-days-3-nights Conquering Northern Mindanao trip.

After our DIY City Tour of CDO, we decided to call it a day and find a place to eat. Again, we haven’t researched about this so we just decided to go to Limketkai Mall where the popular Missy Bon Bon is located. Limketkai Mall is one the biggest malls in CDO and houses various stores from restaurants, bars, shopping stalls, etc.

Once we got there, we went straight to Missy Bon Bon Breadshop because we were hungry. Missy Bon Bon serves a variety of food, from pastas, to breads, to rice. But of course, being a breadshop, their specialties are their baked goodies. Also, they are very popular with their gelato which we weren’t able to try. But I did try the Milo Dinosaur. It was good, though not as great as the one I was able to try in Singapore. There is also free wifi in the store!

Very Cozy Looking


After resting a bit, we headed to Bigby’s Restaurant even though we were already full. Bigby’s is one of the most popular restaurants around CDO. I would probably compare it being like T.G.I.Fridays in Manila. Since we were already very full, we decided to just order their platter of Appetizers just so we could taste their food. The platter consists of cheesesticks, buffalo wings, fries, quesadilla. I don’t know if it was just because we were so full but the food wasn’t up to par to what I was expecting. It was too oily and, well, not that good.

Bigby's Platter of Appetizer. Not that good.


With our tummies bursting to the brim, we decided to return back to our hotel and rest for the night. Up next, Bukidnon and Iligan City!

  1. Bigby's and Missy Bonbon are very well-know places in Cagayan de Oro, I feel really proud whenever they are featured in blogs. They're homegrown too. I ate ate Bigby's last September, their food still taste great but the portions are a bit smaller now.

  2. The food from Bigby's loooks delish. I'm just wondering is this anywhere near this house for sale found in Cagayan de Oro? If yes, then it would be great, looking forward to more places to visit in CDO City.
