neville Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yes, would like to join. Any idea how much they charge and what time? Here's some data that I found out about the food tour: Me;s Food Tour FB Page Mel's Food Tour Website DESCRIPTIONJOINERS WELCOME!!! This is a 6-stop, 5 1/2 hour tour covering breakfast, lunch and coffee in different neighborhoods that are centrally located. The 1st stop is the market to get some freshly cut pineapples from Davao's Pineapple Samurai. Be amazed at the art of slicing pineapples in less than 30 seconds from complete fruit to chunks! This is followed by Kinutil breakfast, a chocolate drink laced with tuba (coconut toddy). After breakfast, there will be time to drift along the flower stalls to inspect, haggle and buy some local flowers. After all, Davao has a cutflower industry exporting orchids and other ornamentals which is highlighted annually by the Kadayawan Festival. The tour aims to bring greater depth to the experience of the tourist who wants to know more about Davao than just its usual attractions and sights. This is about savoring and licking the goodness that Davao produces.
