[Food Trip] Sinangag Express - Davao

It was 4am that we visited this breakfast restaurant in Davao City. It was called Sinangag Express. It is not the same as the Sinangag Express in Manila. The restaurant boasts of it's creative interior/exterior design. The walls were painted blue and there some road signs and plate number card as decorations.  You will see a jeepney infront of their place which you can utilize it as an eating table (cool!).

How's the food?

Me and my friend ordered Chicken Tocino and Lechon Kawali.

I compared it to the Sinangag Express in Manila, this is kinda disappointing. I thought that the whole food menu is served with sinangag (garlic fried rice). There is an additional 5 php per food item if you want your rice to be a sinangag additional 10 php for the fried egg. Lechon Kawali as they served is kinda like a plain pork chop sliced and deep fried with minimal seasoning on it. The chicken tocino is plain as it is. There's nothing extraordinary about our food in terms of taste. Somehow, they present their food in a nice. Our food was served on a big plate. The one with the  plain rice is served with a heart shape design while the one with sinangag is shaped nicely and was topped with the fried egg.

Prices were bit reasonable ranges from 40 php - 90 php.

Overall Verdict?

You'll enjoy the creative resto design they have which an eye candy to the many. The food and service wasn't so nice for me. I was so comparing this to the Sinangag Express of Manila since they have the same name on it. If you just want breakfast in the middle of the night you can pay them a visit. Sinangag Express is open 24/7 located at Metrolifestyle Complex, Jacinto Extension Street, Davao City between Banana Berry and Bo's Cafe.

I'll give them 2.5/5 rating overall.

 

Update:
As of March 2013. It was renamed Sinangag Republik.
