Dusit’s Madayaw Cafe Festive Eats This Kadayawan Season
dusitD2’s Madayaw Café showcases the authentic cuisines of the tribes in Davao region in indulgent assisted buffet spreads this August.
August is the month we celebrate the annual Kadayawan Festival in Davao City. While we are braving still through this time, we can find a way to celebrate through what I consider as a sort of immersive experience of tasting the tribal dishes of our local tribes in the Davao region. As they say, food is always a good idea.
This Kadayawan month of August, Madayaw Café has prepared “Festive Eats” and “Kadayawan Brunch” on its line-up of restaurant offers.
Festive Eats is an assisted dinner spread at dusitD2’s Madayaw Café available from 5PM to 8PM on August 12 to 14 weekend and August 19 to 21 weekend. The special menu is available at Php 994 net per person. Dusit dedicates this menu to the local tribes of Davao region so you can celebrate the Kadayawan season a good dining experience.
They put your safety a priority so they make sure that all stringent measures are observed and the conscious implementation of new normal guidelines at all times possible.
“The festival should highlight the tribes and their culture, and that’s what we have strived to achieve and share to our guests. We might not be able to celebrate fully, so we try to give celebratory indulgence through our offers,” says Chef Alex Destriza.
Highlighting the dishes of the tribes, the menu has a good combination and variety for all guests.
Palapa and Pairen a seda a barilis are some appetizers and salad from the Maranaw Tribe. From the Tausug tribe, Chef Alex and is culinary team has a Tiyula Itum or Black Beef Soup, and Pialam/Steamed Fish and Piassak/Cow Liver for the main dishes. Other featured dishes are Sinagupan or yellow rice is from the Kalangan tribe, Linotlot nga Nonno/Shrimp cooked in bamboo is from the Bagobo Tagabawa tribe, Linutlot nga baki/Farmed frogs cooked in bamboo from the Ovu Manuvo tribe, and Landang from the Maguindanao tribe.
Desserts are also something to look forward to in the spread. Wadjet Makadurian (durian rice cake from the Sama tribe), Palikambing (or Tibobol – fried banana ball from the Tausug tribe), Daral (crêpe-like delicacy filled with sweetened coconut meat from the Tausug tribe), and durian fritters can be indulged during the offer dates.
For those who are fond of Sunday brunches, there is a Kadayawan Brunch available on August 15, 2021, from 10:30AM – 3PM. Tribal dishes and desserts are also in the menu, matched with other restaurant favorites. This is available at 994 per person.
For those with cravings for something unique for Kadayawan, you can order their Cake of the Month, the Brazo de Langka.
“With our team fully vaccinated and with all our safety guidelines in the property, we hope our guests feel safer and more confident as they dine and stay as well with us this August. I personally appreciate the effort of the team to show the cultures of the region, as I am learning so much from it too,” says Hotel Manager Christoph Kuch.
Have a safe, healthy and happy Kadayawan 2021 in Davao! Cheers!
