Since I transferred here in the Davao, I usually find myself alone. I have my friends here, my boyfriend is here but everyone's busy working and they also have their own lives. So after my work, I just stroll around the streets of Davao City and look where to dine and have 'me time'. 

From the office where I work, which is in Matina, it is not hard to commute and go to the downtown area. Last week, I decided to go to Gaisano Mall to have dinner. I went to the Peak since most of the restaurants are found. My initial plan was to eat at Hollywood Burgers since earlier that week I was able to try Gino's Burger and I want to do some comparison on their burgers. However, the place was empty. I assumed that the store's already closed since that was already 8-ish. Since the 'forever alone' moment start to sink in because majority of the people are in groups, I hurriedly rode the escalator and headed to the 2nd floor. Then I saw Red Mango with lesser customers compared to its adjacent restos, I decided to have a froyo instead since I was not really THAT hungry. When I went inside, there were a group of girls queue-ing so I had to time to look at their prices. The plain frozen yogurt's price starts at Php85 (4oz.). That was the smallest size, while the biggest was the family size which costs Php195. You may also add additional toppings worth Php20/topping or Php35 for 2 toppings. I had popping boba and chocolate chip (which was the attendant's suggestion). I paid Php120 for the froyo.

The popping boba and chocolate chip went well with the froyo but since I'm not a chocolate fan, I started to hate the taste of the chips as I went on with my froyo. The taste of the yogurt was not extraordinary, though it is also delicious even without the toppings.

I felt happy because the place suited me, as a loner since the place is big and they have free wi-fi connection. But I had one question in my mind throughout my stay there: Why did they named the store Red Mango when they don't have any mangoes on their menu?

The red spoon.
