When you are looking for a suitable place to spend time with your family, friends or someone you should think carefully before making a decision. Think of the reasons why you go. Is it simply to hang out, to talk, to eat or just walk around to explore the place. Finding a place also to dine with a group that can accommodate your preferences can be challenging and extremely demanding sometimes especially when you want to share some good eats without blowing your budget. Nevertheless, there are many options as to where to go and what to eat. Social media or print ads, word of mouth, and reviews can be a great source in gathering some ideas on where to find the best restaurant and the best place to dine.

Eating out is considered a normal activity aside from a movie date. I've been to some places and best restaurants with a good food here in Davao City and recently I have visited Amiya Cafe Lagoon Restaurant twice already. The first time we came here it was purely sightseeing with my family. But, we did not stay long because my millennial or generation Y boys preferred to go to another place at the heart of the city. On a Saturday afternoon February 25, 2017 (EDSA Anniversary), I came back to the place with friends. This time we had the pleasure to enjoy the place, took a lot of pictures and enjoyed our meal. It was a group bonding filled with joy and laughter, plus the cast was complete.

The location is not far away from the city. Just ride a taxi from where you are and tell the driver to bring you to Amiya Residences at Libby Road Puan. If you have a private ride you can also access and hang out in the place anytime during business hours. Upon reaching the gate or guard house of Amiya just tell the security guard you will be going to the Cafe Lagoon restaurant. There's no entrance fee, and if you like the place just order a meal, dine and enjoy!. The food is affordable and satisfactory in quality, but I wished they could have increased the quantity or add some per serving. But, still, a good meal to enjoy anyway. While waiting for your order you can entertain yourself via fishing in the lagoon and feel the fresh air. You can rent a rod for 1 hour at 50 pesos. All your catch will be priced at 280 per kilo and they will cook it for you for free. Or enjoy boating at 100 pesos per hour.

The price of Rice at the restaurant is P30 per cup and drinks at P45. They also served fruit salad at P80 per serving. Just ask for the menu for more order. The location is reachable and the ambiance is highly recommended. Prices are affordable, though if you take a look at the list some are a bit pricey but you can choose a different kind that suits your budget. I highly recommend their pancit canton, chopsuey, and fried chicken, if you want to savor a hot soup try their Imbao soup. Tuna belly is good but for me, it was not worth at a price of P300 too small.

Bringing of lechon for the special occasion is highly allowed just pay a corkage fee of P400, and when you bring in also a bottle of your own wine, the charge is still the same P400 regardless of how many. You may also opt to stay in their Japanese hut at P3,500 consumable good for 10-12pax. The Kubo near the lagoon is free of charge just order their food. I forgot to take pictures of the food we ordered, but I hope some of the details you need to know you find it here. Thank you for spending a little of your time to read my blog! Posted below is a sample of their menu and few photos of what to see in the place.
