I am your CDO Guide

This blog is about Cagayan de Oro food. Food that can be found, bought, dined, served, and eaten here in CDO. I will be your online CDO Guide when it comes to CDO Food.

Being a CDO Guide, I will tell you a little bit about the food, where it can be bought/found/eaten. I will share to you how much it would cost and how tasty or bad it may be.

Being born and raised here in Cagayan de Oro, I can say I can be one of the best CDO Guide there is. :D

I am a very proud member of CDOBloggers, Inc., a group who's aim is to help promote Cagayan de Oro and everything in it, on the internet.

Zaza's FREE Nestlé Chuckie Gift Pack


March of 2009, I don't know what exact date, but I was browsing to Ms. Rowena Wendy Lei of http://animetric.blogspot.com and I saw her post about Nestlé Chuckie's Freebie and I had to register to get the freebie cause Zaza loves Chuckie, and it's for free! The freebie was only for the first 200 to register to their site and I really thank Ms. Rowena for sharing this cause I made it to the first 200. hehe.

May 14, 2009, I received an email that my Chuckie Burstastic package was on the way.


May 22, 2009 we received Zaza's Nestlé Chuckie Gift Pack and we were so excited to open it. We were the first 200 to try their new flavors then. hehe. I personally loved the choco burst. Both Zaza and I didn't like much the peanut nor the cookie flavor. Double choco was the best! Specially when it's cold!


Here's his free gift pack. Inside were the 3 new flavors and some flyers and promo items. :)

I suggest you visit Animetric's blog for more promos and freebies. :) thanks again sis. The Chuckie new flavors are now out in the market at, here in Cagayan de Oro it's around 17-21pesos each, depending on where you'll buy it. You guys should try them out.

Zaza & the Lechon head

5/17/09 - Joy (miyahmayah) was out for a meeting/party at church. Here in the Philippines - I'm not sure if it's also applicable to other parts of the world - during big parties.. left overs can be brought home by either close guests, or the host of the party for someone who didn't make it to the party, we call it BH (Bring Home) or sometimes called as Balot (wrapped). At Joy's meeting, they had alot of left overs, so joy got some for us at home. When she came home Zaza was already sleeping, so she reserved the surprise for the next day.

5/18/09 - Zaza woke up earlier than me so I didn't get to see the action. Mom showed Zaza his surprise - the Lechon head - Joy (miyahmayah) then took pictures of him with it. Eversince Zaza was born, he never had a lechon bought for him, even during his birthday, nor did we serve on special family occassions. There was once at my older sister pilarmarielim's wedding with ewicgarcia but the lechon came chopped already. So this is the closest moment he had with a dead/cooked pig. When I woke up about 2hrs after, he bragged about seeing it but now Ama (my mom) has already cooked it. He was so excited to show me the pictures on my cam that he had to get it and said I should turn it on. hehehe.


Zaza had to touch it, and looked confused. hehe

More photos here.

Lechon here in Cagayan de Oro costs about 2,000 - 3,000 pesos.. That could already feed about 150 guests :) During peak season like Christmas or Graduation it usually climbs up to 3,500 depending on the size.
