Sultan Kudarat Coffee


Have you known that Sultan Kudarat is a coffee producer? I was browsing some Facebook groups dedicated to Philippine coffee a few weeks ago and came across Decano's Coffee. They have been in the coffee business since 1962 and are the first coffee roasters in Tacurong city. And because we are now our own barista, I decided to give them a try.

Ever since I found out about Sulu coffee, I have been trying to find out anything and everything about the coffee culture in Mindanao. Apparently, coffee has had a very long history in that part of the country and it's a shame that not a lot of attention is given to it. Even though most coffee produced in Mindanao is of the Robusta variety, some people claim that it is at par or better than Arabica.

Even though it was sent out the same day I purchased it, my order of a kilo of medium dark roasted coffee beans from Decano's Coffee arrived by LBC Cash on Pickup after two weeks because of the quarantine. I had the chance to experience the new normal at the LBC branch where I opted to pick up my parcel which I have to say is not at all pretty. I thought that if I had to go to the mall and experience the same thing, I think I can wait even five years before going malling again.

With tasting notes that evoke nuts, tobacco, and chocolate, Decano's Coffee truly tastes like premium coffee beans. I love how its flavor is very smooth and even which tells you how much effort and attention is given to its sorting process. and I think people are right, you really can't distinguish it from the more expensive coffee bean brands.

Today, most coffee from Mindanao are in the form of instant coffee that a lot of us consume every morning. If you wish to try out native coffee from Mindanao and support local farmers, you may send a message to Decano's Coffee at their Facebook page.

P.S.

Are we the last generation to experience mass gatherings?

I was scratching my head trying to figure out how to register to DITO promos without going through their app. I don't know why but apparently DITO's app needs internet connection to be accessed. How very counterintuitive! Imagine, I was about to register to a Smart Promo just to access their app and subscribe to a promo! Anyway, thank goodness I was able to find a way to subscribe to DITO promos without using their app. Here is how you can register to DITO promos thru text: 1. Text HELP or 0000 to 185. This is free of charge. 2. You will receive a reply with the menu. Choose 'Buy Promo'. 3. Choose your desired promo and confirm your purchase. That's it! Now you just have to wait for a text confirmation or try to check if you can now access the internet. Hope this helps you out!

Baram Premium Buffet Restaurant Review

Image
After the pandemic, eating out has become very frustrating. It seems like restaurant food prices keep on going up while the quality worsens as time goes by. A few days ago, I invited a friend to visit a travelling stamp exhibit with me at the Robinson's mall in Ermita. While I was searching for an all-you-can-eat buffet in that area, I came across a new restaurant called Baram Premium Buffet. Since its location was just a kilometer away from Robinson's Place, we decided to have lunch there. Baram Premium Buffet opened just a week ago so they are currently on a promotion. Their buffet only costs 459 pesos for lunch and dinner. I'm not sure how long these promotional rates can last but I found the buffet quite good for the price. Almost all of the dishes on the buffet table were quite good. What stood out for me was the roasted chicken which was excellent!  What made Baram Premium Buffet stand out was the korean pork barbecue which they cook for you on demand.  Here are some

Cuando by Comic Relief song lyrics

Image
I could describe Comic Relief in two words: cutting edge. Gone now are the times when all the Chabacano songs that we hear were about the place itself. We finally heard a pop song in Chabacano. What's great is that it's not just any Chabacano pop song, it's a good one too. It doesn't sound corny like the other songs that we hear and it's very modernized so the youth could very much relate to it. Pirmi kita ta oi: bueno pa el maga Bisaya, bale el maga de ila cancion. Pues, ahora tiene ya tambien kita bale canciones en Chabacano. Cuando Lyrics by Comic Relief Que tal man tu ahora? Donde anda? Libre ba tu, puede yo lleva pasea Pasencia conmigo Si bodi man yo Pero precura yo dale contigo el todo Hinde ba tu ta sinti? De jalo lang que sufri Ta canta este cancion Con todo mi corazon pati mi pensamiento Cuando, cuando contesta? Pirmi yo ta resa Que kita dos ay queda Tu dulce palabra Pirmi yo ta espera Cuando tu contesta Si hinde ahora Cunda
