#KaonSerye: Yuyu Cafe and Dessert Shop

My trip to Tagum City is never complete without dropping by Yuyu Cafe and Dessert Shop for a quick snack and pasalubong. Tagum's  homegrown cafe is located along Tagum National Highway, in front of Gaisano Mall. The shop offers a variety of artisan cakes, pastries for pasalubong, hearty meals, and refreshing drinks.

The Cakes at Yuyu Cafe

Their cakes are well-crafted and taste as impressive as it looks. The last time Keen and I were able to go to Yuyu was with his parents. We were passing by Tagum and I recommended that we take a short afternoon break at Yuyu. We ordered some of my favorites and tried new ones.

We ordered my favorite slice of Praline cake, one of their best-sellers. One slice is comprised of delectable chocolate layers of cake and mousse with a surprisingly crunchy base. Its golden accents makes it looks Instagram worthy too.

Another favorite of mine is their Fresh Fruit Tart. This beautiful pastry doesn't easily crumble unlike other fruit tarts I've had. The combination of fresh sweet and sour fruits taste perfectly with the custard filling.

Here we also tried their Mochaccino and Mango Charlotte. The Mochaccino sponge cake had just the right amount of sweetness which Keen's mom liked a lot. The Mango Charlotte tasted lovely as well. It may not have been at par with the Fruit Tart but it was nonetheless delicious.

Based on my previous visits, the Coco Pandan and Purple Yam slices were really good too. They matched perfectly well with their coffee. 

Their prices were not bad either. The Praline costs P105 while the Fruit Tart was only P68. The Mochaccino and Mango Charlotte were only P80 and P70 respectively, which is the typical average price of their solo sized cakes.

I'm not sure though if their prices have changed but this was based on a recent trip this year. For reservations, advance bulk orders, or booking, you can contact them at 655-6731.

It's a long travel to Tagum City because of the traffic so I hope Yuyu Cafe and Dessert Shop will soon open a branch in Davao City. It will surely be a wonderful addition to the growing food scene in the city. Until then, I guess I'll have to wait for another opportunity to go back to Tagum and eat at Yuyu's again.

Barangay, Police and NBI Clearances in Davao City

I was recently processing my pre-employment requirements for my new job. Barangay, Police and NBI clearances are the three basic clearances being requested for employment. While it’s ok to go directly to the offices where these clearances are being requested, it’s always an advantage to research first on the process and its prerequisites for smooth sailing applications. How to Get a Barangay Clearance I belong to barangay Matina so I got my barangay clearance from the Matina barangay hall located near Centerpoint Matina. You may look into this site for your barangay’s contact number for more info: http://www.davaocity.gov.ph/davao/district.aspx To get your barangay clearance, you must bring with you your Purok Clearance (to be issued by your purok leader) and Community Tax Certificate (also known as Cedula). After presenting these, you’ll have to log some basic info in their books and you will pay a fee for the issuance of the clearance. I only paid 25 pesos for this. They wil

Getting a Health Certificate in Davao City

Image
Every person who is employed in any business establishment in Davao City is required to get a health certificate, also known as health card, from the City Health Office (CHO). From January to March this year, the CHO of Davao City has opened its satellite operations in the 2nd floor of Felcris Centrale Mall, fronting Land Transportation Office. CHO caters to a huge number of applications and renewals every day since it started last January. So expect a really long line if you come in later than 12 noon. Make sure to be in Felcris Centrale before the mall opens at 10am. Some people queue as early as 6-7am just so they could finish early or within the morning. Also, it's best to prepare the requirements ahead for a smooth application process. The requirements for a Health Certificate are as follows: 1. Application Form - The form is usually given upon queuing so always bring a pen so as to accomplish the said form. 2. Community Tax Certificate (CTC) - Also known as the Cedula

#KaonSerye: Best Japanese Food in Davao

Image
Japanese restaurants in Davao City have sprouted sporadically for the past three years. Although it is no surprise as Davaoenos have retained many Japanese influences since the latter's occupation, it is only now that we have further explored our taste for the Japanese cuisine. For the past two years we've been together, Keen and I have tried almost each Japanese restaurant in the city. We've tried every gyoza, maki and ramen we can get our hands on. We've been to many minimalist, modern or high-end Japanese restaurants. We've also been satisfied and disappointed many times. With the many things we have tasted, we are confident enough to judge and identify which Japanese restaurant in Davao serves the best dish. Not all restaurants are perfect. Some have the best gyoza but has the most disappointing ramen, or vice versa. To be fair, we will only be comparing the dishes we have tried from each restaurant. Also, we will be judging not only the taste, but the servi
