Cliffhanger—nice view, bad food

Traveling from Davao City to General Santos City (and vice versa) can take almost 3 hours by car and if you’re not in a hurry, it would be nice to find a good place to stop by even for just a few minutes.

We discovered a place called Cliffhanger–that’s already near Padada which means youa re about 30 minutes away from Digos, Davao del Sur.  Cliffhanger offer a great view and if the weather is nto so sunny, you would feel like you are either in Baguio or some foreign place.  One of its attractions is the viewdeck which gives you a good view of the province—all green!

We were awed when we saw Cliffhanger’s specialty—a whole chicken tinola!  Of course, who has not tasted tinolang manok? But our tinola has been chopped—this one is a whole new chicken made into tinola ha!ha!  By the way, no other food choices there except the traditional karinderya cooking.

While the owner (who is a lawyer, by the way—was able to talk to him when we dropped by before just to buy mango) took pains to make sure the cafe looked pleasing, it has however failed to make sure the food meets the standard.  The rice was so dark and hard—it would shame the cheap NFA rice (which I’m told is by no means cheap at P17-P19 a kilo now). The tinolang manok also needed some more cooking time.  

Would definitely stop over again just for a quick look at the viewdeck or to buy some cold drinks but never to eat there again!
