FOOD lovers are always on the lookout of restaurants’ signature dishes. When dining, people usually ask for best sellers and signature dishes, especially if it’s their first time to eat in a particular diner.
But why do restaurants create their own signature dishes? This is simply because a dish can tell a story or stories about them as a restaurant.
Last Friday, March 1, the Marco Polo Davao introduces signature dishes for its three restaurants namely Café Marco, Polo Bolo Bistro, and Lotus Court. And all the newly-introduced dishes are surely a must-try when visiting Davao City especially this 82nd Araw ng Davao month-long celebration.
