Food | Malita's Food Products Worth A Taste!

Me holding an Adlai Rice

Malita is the town capital of the youngest province in the Philippines, Davao Occidental, to date. It is around 2 to 3 hours of land travel from Davao City via a private or public transportation. The municipality has some food surprises that you'll love as much as I did. So, let's check it out!

Kape de Netibo and Adlai Rice

Rice is the staple food for many Filipinos. It is best paired with the delicious barbeque, adobo and many other viand. However, the regular rice is more glycemic thus people who have lifestyle disease like diabetes will control intake of it.

Meal with Adlai Rice

Good thing that ADLAI RICE is a healthier option than the regular rice. This is one great Malita product that is low glycemic, with protein, dietary fiber, minerals and it is gluten-free. Its taste is not far from a regular rice’s taste. It looks more circular than an elongated grain; bigger than a corn grain that is also substituted for a regular rice. What I like about it is that when you eat it, you will get full but you feel light. The cheapest adlai rice is around P250 coming from Malita and it is one that is considered as an ancient grain.

Adlai, Kape de Netibo and Bangus

Then, one of the best bangus (milkfish) I have tasted is from Malita! I often dislike bangus because of its bones; it will take me some time to remove the bones and still I will get boned. However, the bangus from Malita is a surprise: it has less bones and it doesn’t have a stinky odor. Yeah, believe me, it is something to buy and taste! Perfect for an inun-unan or known as paksiw! 

Then, the Kape de Netibo. Actually, I am not a coffee fan but this coffee is not too acidic for me and it does not make me hyperactive - something that I think is a thumbs up!

Women Entrepreneurs of Barangay Buhangin ice cream

Then, a group of women in Malita or the Women Entrepreneurs of Barangay Buhangin (WEBB) offers good ice cream that will tickle your taste buds. The ice cream comes in five (5) flavors, to wit: 1) kalabasa (squash), 2) malunggay (moringa), 3) durian, 4) chili level 1, and 5) chili level 2. Among the flavors, I like most the kalabasa! The squash has good blend with the sweet cream than the moringa - well, that’s for me, but still tastes good. Durian flavor is not that strong but there is a kick of the durian's taste. Then, as for the chili flavors, not much of a chili fan - sorry but still good tasting. Price ranges from P40 to P45. :-)

Tasty Daral

Then, the daral. It is a Tausug delicacy that at an instant has become a favorite. Good thing that I have tasted it in Malita since it is Ms. Jean's favorite. hihihi It is a rolled crepe with coconut and sugar inside. It is a good snack item! Yum!

Calamares with Salted Egg Batter

One of the unforgettable that I have tasted in Malita is the calamares! Thank you very much for this recipe of yours Ms. Jean! The calamares has a salted egg batter that tastes so good in my mouth. The spices also compliment well. Super favorite!!!

Oh well, those are just among the food you can taste in Malita. Our group is very thankful to the generosity of Ms. Jean, together with her staff. Malita has marked good food to me! Until next time!!! :-)

Travel | Malita Dives: Jewel of Malita, Davao Occidental

Malita Dives Ramp

Where did you spend your summer? For me and some of my friends, we spent it at a private resort in Davao Occidental. Some might want to have a beach party feeling yet others want it relaxing and rejuvenating. Hey, there's a place in Malita, Davao Occidental known as Malita Dives in Tubalan Cove, Malita, Davao Occidental. Let's check it out!

It is not the Maldives of this side of the Philippines but it will be known of its own, Malita Dives! Yes, Malita Dives because it is situated at the center of the cove surrounded by clear waters with some huge cabbage corals, school of fish, scattered starfish, Japanese mine sweeper (shipwreck) submerged in the water and some rock formations around.

During high tide, you can swim around while during low tide, you can walk around.

Banana (pencil) Boat

You can experience a day tour or overnight stay in the place and do not expect it like a party it the middle of the sea. It is a worthwhile bonding with your friends and family. You can have a videoke in the middle of the sea and bring your own food and drinks to prepare. Have some cool water activities, too, like banana boat, snorkeling, jetski ride, kayaking, fishing and unlimited Instagram pose. Have some sort of indoor games like "sungka" and mahjong - but bring your tiles. 😁

We are also very glad of our very generous friends especially Ms. Jean and Mr. Jeremiah for allowing us to see the beauty and wonders of Malita Dives! The food are very delicious especially the adlai rice, daral, squid with salted egg batter, shrimps, roast pig, special ice cream made by a women's group and many more! The experience will not be perfect also when you forget to apply your Bioskin Coco Pink Blush Sunblock Cream and have some snacks of Gatchips in different flavors.

Sunset at Malita Dives

Malita Dives is indeed a place for rest and relaxation. If you plan to have more activities, you can always do so - a team building perhaps. Yet, be reminded that the place is a sanctuary and there are wild sea creatures untamed with human existence. Be marveled with the place and some skies painted beautifully during sunsets and even sunrise.
