Probinsya is a buffet
restaurant located in
downtown Davao City.
The restaurant serves
breakfast, lunch and
dinner. With the tagline
"A Taste of Home", they
offer provincial delicacies
from all over the
Philippines.
The restaurant's interior is simplistic which
speaks of the simplicity of life in the
province (probinsya). Most of the fixtures
are made of polished wood.
Even the condiments containers are made of wood, much like
what you would find on tables in provincial homes. Filipinos
like to alter the flavors of their food so condiments are always
present on dining tables.
Probinsya's food features Filipino cuisine, emphasizing on dishes
that are not usually found in city restaurants. Although they serve
Filipino classics like humba, kinilaw, kare-kare and caldereta, you
can also find fern salads and fermented fish locally called ginamos.
One of the most popular food items
is the pako salad which is made of
fern, mixed with vinegar, ginger,
onions, tomatoes and steamed
okra. It may look weird but it's very
healthy.
Probinsya also serves rice cakes called kakanin. Pictured is
palitaw, a rice pastry coated with sugar and grated coconut. It
is made of ground rice, balled and boiled until it floats (litaw),
thus the name.
Also on offer more popular
kakanin called puto and
kutsinta. The former is perfect
with dinuguan (blood stew)
while the latter is always
topped with grated coconut for
added texture and taste.
Other offerings at Probinsya
restaurant's breakfast spread
are the usual Filipino fare:
rice, eggs, salted fish,
longganisa and cured meat.
Probinsya is located within the Victoria Plaza Complex.
Within the area is a terminal for north-bound vans, making
the restaurant a perfect stop for travelers before going on
their way.
