Our first Steve's BBQ experience at Cagayan de Oro Night Cafe

Cagayan de Oro's Night Cafe and Market happens every Friday and Saturday from 530pm - 2am in the heart of the City, Dvsoria. You'll find there live band to entertain you, native foods at low prices. They also have a low prices of clothes, shoes, pants and many more..

Last March 28, 2009, Zaza, Mom, and I were roaming around the Night Cafe looking for great deals, and we wanted to unwind and get out of the house cause we have stayed there for a week already. During our long walk, we came across a little booth selling shades. Zaza wanted to have one, so I bought him one for 50php. Here's a picture of him wearing it:

You might be wondering why there's still a sticker. He didn't want me to remove that sticker.

We were so tired of walking around that we decided to eat at Steve's BBQ. They sell grilled food or sometimes we call it "Ala carte". They have been known to have one of the bests BBQ here in our city and we haven't tried it yet - so we had dinner there. Here's Steve BBQ's Banner and the area where they cook.

We had BBQ Chicken Wing or locally called as "Pitso", Pork BBQ, Chorizo, and Liempo as our viand and for our rice - the Hanging Rice or "Puso" which is rice wrapped in coco leaves and boiled/steamed. Total cost of our orders were 144 pesos only :) Here are the photos of our orders:

Since our orders were ready, Zaza requested he pose first before we eat. So I took photos of him :) Steve BBQ is located across the corner of Jollibee Velez - Again, night cafe happens every friday and saturday of the week only.

Sea World Squid Rolls

Like any other cities here in the Philippines, Cagayan de Oro was also hit by Tempura/Fish Ball/Squid Ball/Squid Roll craze. The aroma of these when cooked is very much inviting. They have a long strip just outside Xavier University together with the new craze Kwek-Kwek and Chicken Skin. Even on the weekly night cafe's vendors are everywhere. We have tried and tasted alot of brands and this specific brand caught our taste buds. It doesn't have a weird aftertaste, nor does it taste bland. It's ingredients are perfect for us that everytime we cook this, we can't stop picking and putting it into our mouths. Here's how it looks like when it's cooked. If the picture was clearer you would usually see spring onions in it. So, it's not just all flour, they added some good stuff too. Here's Zaza taking a snack after doing some lots of coloring :) He too can't stop eating them when we serve this. 1 kilo pack costs 155-160php depends on where you buy them. ...

Tabas/Bilong-bilong/Chabita/Kadis (Moonfish) w/ Champorado

Tabas or Bilong-bilong or Chabita or Kadis - with English name Moonfish of the family Menidae is one of the available fishes here in Cagayan de Oro City and one of our favorites. It is colored silver and is usually cooked paksiw style in vinegar, ginger, and onions - but we love it deep fried cause you can eat every part of it. hehe. Here's some picture of it when cooked deep fried. And some pics of Mom's little assistant, Zaza , almost finishing them off, eating it together with Champorado / Tsamporado which is Sweet Chocolate Rice Porridge in English. Champorado is soft-boiled rice with cocoa powder or tablea (blocks of cocoa powder made from cacao beans) - Mom uses the latter cause she says it tastes much better. Tablea can also be used to make hot chocolate. Mom prefers the brand Maestrado Tablea from Mambajao, Camiguin - which is also available here in Cagayan de Oro City - because of it's "orig" taste. At the back of their packing is also steps ...

Sr. Pedro Lechon Manok - Key to their success

A long line of customers savor the sweet, mouth-watering smell of roasted chicken, cooked to tenderness by Sr. Pedro’s helpers, as they wait for their order along a busy road in Lapasan, Cagayan de Oro City. That chicken, the prodigious lechon manok (roasted chicken) that captured the Pinoy palate by storm, is most sought by average people who, as one of its loyal patrons says, just want to get a taste of Sr. Pedro’s blessing. Now with 250 outlets scattered around Metro Manila and key cities nationwide, Ang Lechon Manok ni Sr. Pedro has taken a giant stride to culinary fame and fortune. Peter Unabia, founder of Anakciano Inc. that owns Sr. Pedro, talks of their next project after 16 years of enjoying phenomenal success -- to return the blessings they have received. This, Peter, or Pedro to his friends, has been doing, along with his 10 other siblings, for the past four years. “We organized a foundation, called the Anaktering Foundation, in honor of my mother Tering who was very religi...
