Zia Quizon to perform on SM Davao-The Annex

Myx Music Award 2012 Favorite New Artist Zia Quizon is set to perform at SM Davao The Annex on May 5.

Zia’s music, which fused pop, soul, jazz, and retro R&B, has been widely-accepted by the public yielding the hit song "Ako Na Lang." She recently launched her new single "Dear Lonely," lifted from her debut album "Zia." The album has just been awarded a Gold Record Award.

Owing most of her musicality to her Dad- Dolphy, Zia’s style sounds very unique from her veteran singer mother- Zsa Zsa Padilla and singer-actress Karylle.

Her raspy voice used in jazzy arrangement is a fresh listening from the OPM pool. Apart from her original songs, her self-titled album also has unique versions of the classic Smile (Charlie Chaplin), So Much In Love(popularized in the Philippines by Sharon Cuneta) and her mom’s Mambobola.

Enjoy the soothing music of Zia live at SM Davao The Annex, 5 PM on May 5. SM City Davao 3 Day Sale runs May 4-6 with extended mall hours until 12 MN on May 4&5 (Friday, Saturday), and until 10 PM on May 6(Sunday).  Avail of up to 70% discount on great selections and get a chance to win 1 of the 3 Asus Netbooks!

Gusteau's Food Haus at The Peak - Gaisano Mall Davao

There's a bunch of great place to eat at Gaisano Mall Davao, especially at the roof top, to be specific The Peak. Its a great place to hang out with your friends and family. It has a great overlooking view of Davao City. Lets skip "The Peak" and lets talk more on some of the excellent places to eat there. One of which is Gusteau's Food Haus. The first time I saw this place the first thing that pops in my mind Gusteau?? isn't that from the movie Ratatouille, Gusteau the famous chef, Gusteau the famous restaurant hehehe. If you watch that movie you'll get what I mean.

So during Araw ng Dabaw we decided to pick a place to eat at "The Peak" and the place we pick was Gusteau's Food Haus. It is not because of the name (well partly because of the name hehehe), and also for their menu, I saw a kinilaw in their menu so I'm all go for it, I really love kinilaw by the way. When we entered the place we were greeted warmly by people working in the restaurant. Me and my wife ordered Kinilaw (hahaha I told you this is my favorite), Lechon Kawali (this is for my little girl) and Garlic Tuna Belly. The orders were a little pricey but once it was served it was worth it. The food taste great it was a nice experience for me and my family.

Other selection in their menu includes their specialty which is Grancho Reale (Ocean King Crab served on a bed of garlic, herb crust sauce), Spicy Prawn, Dory Fillet, Doki's Chicken Wing, White Squid Adobo, Bamboo Shoot with Cabbage. They also serve soups. Theirs soups are Embao Shell Soup, Sinigang na Pasayan, and Crab Soup.

Gusteau's Food Haus can be located at 5th Floor Rooftop "The Peak" - Gaisano Mall Davao.

Here are some of the photos I have taken of the place and our food.
