Davao
Restaurants
Davao is renowned
for its durian
and pomelo.
Eating durian is
admittedly an
acquired taste but
those who do end up
liking it will swear
that the bad smell
is worth it. Pomelo
on the other hand is
a citrus fruit that
most closely
resembles a
grapefruit, it is
quite common in
South East Asia.
Beware of bringing
durian inside
airplanes as well as
hotels and other
establishments. They
may have strict
regulations on
allowing durian
inside and some may
not allow durian to
be brought at all.
