Tubac Overview Park — Restaurant in Malalag

A place where you can have a 360 (almost) view of the Malalag bay and the Davao Gulf. Best spot to have your "pee break", they do have a clean comfort room (sometimes, if not of some inconsiderate user or travellers). You can feel the freshest breeze blowing from the bay/gulf (most of the time because below or to the east of it is a vast coconut plantation, just hope no one is making coco charcoal). And the best part is their food, the tinola is the best (well at least for me), and other viands are really close to perfection (again at least for me). Its also inspirational in the sense that it has a tarpaulin of the owner's children acquiring degrees. The staff are very responsive, kind, courteous, and they know how to do business (suggestive selling and the like). May i add about the view it offers (i'll be honest, i am trying to make a 200 words review), othan the bay or the gulf view, look west you'll the the cliff (forgive me if i got it incorrectly) and you can think how small are we compared to the humongous mountainside I also find fascinating looking at the trucks passing cralling slowly pulling its heavy loads, the roar if the engine and the smell of the burning dot20 fluids. Its amazing how man had made machines to conquer the natural landscape of the area. In conclusion, dont hesitate to stop, dine, relax and rest for a while here. It's worth it, and it's safe for travellers ...

3 stars as a facility (CR is not good). If one brake-loosing truck cannot make a good turn from the uphill, it can smack you down while you are literally with pants down as the cr is exactly on the "flight" path of trucks. Food is better from the upper resto especially if you are a native chicken afficionado. Just be watchful as to how many menus you order as the price is not really that cheap. You might have a shock of your life. But, in fairness, taste is good and if you are luckier, you can have the tenderEST and juiciest native chicken that you can think of. A good stop over before making the zig-zags to Gensan. A good stop over also after you get dizzed by the zig-zag from Gensan. For those coming from Gensan though, be extra careful in your maneuver as big trucks come rampaging most of the time and the truck's reaction time would always be challenging due to their heavy cargoes. Don't expect those trucks to be able to stop on short notice. Well, take it from me, i have observed those things many times. One was...

Spectacular views of Davao Gulf and delicious native tinolang manok - perfect combination. If you are a group of 3, better order the whole chicken (tibuok na manok) that goes for only P300. Try their bicycle zipline that will make you pedal high above the coconut plantations of Davao Occidental down below. #LetsGuide #DavaoGulf #Zipline
