Port Food Cafe Review
Davao's famous fast food chain comes to Digos. Port Food Cafe offers Barato Bowls and combo meals at an affordable price which is the main reason for its popularity among college students.
What I tried:
Chicken Pop with Rice (Php 75)
Grilled Pork Belly (Php 99)
Chicken with White Sauce (Php 69)
E1: Grilled Pork Chop + Boneless Bangus + Chopsuey (Php 150)
E2: Garlic Chicken + Fried Lumpia + Canton (Php 150)
Tapsilog (Php 75)
Halo-halo (Regular Php 65)
Chicken pops is a humble bowl of delicately crispy and yummy chicken. Even though there was too much soy sauce drizzled and the rice was too soft and sticky, I still find myself ordering this item from the menu.
The grilled pork belly was delicious but greasy and tough. I had a hard time slicing it into bite size pieces.
Crispy and juicy chicken fillets in creamy white sauce that would've been perfect if there was less oil clinging to the chicken.
Tough greasy meat with the typical marinated flavor: smokey, sweet, and salty. The chopsuey was delicious and crunchy, but the fried bangus was greasy and tasted a bit off, perhaps the fish wasn't fresh.
The garlic chicken tasted fine. The lumpia tasted sour which is a typical result of premade frozen rolls from the supermarket. The pancit canton was an oil-fest disaster. I almost threw up.
If you can look past all the greasiness, this tapsilog is pretty much a delicious meal.
Port Food Cafe's Halo-Halo suspiciously tasted exactly the same with Chowking's, but with lesser ice. No complains there.
I believe Port Food Cafe can do better than this. They've already done a good job in serving chicken dishes, but the other items were either too greasy or too tough, usually both. The use of paper towels could go a long way in improving their dishes especially since most are fried and/or grilled.
Until then, I guess I'll only be ordering chicken pops and halo-halo.
