DAY SEVEN (7) IT IS NOT GOODBYE GENSAN IT IS SEE YOU AGAIN! (NAWILI HA HA HA!)

SEE YOU AGAIN GENSAN! Yes, it is not goodbye, it is see you again GENSAN!  I fell in Love with the fresh Tuna in GENSAN and with the people who are full of hospitality and kindness. Ma-fe- feel mo talaga na sincere sila sa pagtulong, no ifs, no buts they simply love helping and welcoming people! 


One good example is my generous and wonderful ANGEL in GENSAN- ATE MELINDA "MELINS" BAYNOSA BETAIZAR, who, did not only open her heart, but also her home for me- a complete stranger! Saan ka makakakita ng ganun tao? I met her @ the CITY HALL, she's the budget officer II, and she is really very very nice, a kind of person who would go the extra mile to help and accommodate even new found friends! I hope your tribe increase ate melins! Mabuhay si ate Melins!




I Love TUNA!!! Sobra!!! I had a blast @ Kiko's Family restaurant, and @ ate Melins house! Babalik ako!!! Sa mga nagsasabing hindi safe sa Mindanao, I feel safer there than in Metro Manila! Maling mali ang akala natin lahat, safe po sa Mindanao! Kaya tara na, byahe tayo papuntang GENSAN!

GENERAL SANTOS CITY: Kiko's Family Restaurant

GENERAL SANTOS CITY: Kiko's Family Restaurant

If you found yourself in General Santos City don't miss to visit Kiko's Family Restaurant located at So. Osmena St., beside DTI, General Santos City 9500 Telephone No. (083)302-0666.

On my DAY SIX in Mindanao, I went to General Santos City and had dinner at Kiko's Family Restaurant. Kiko's Family Restaurant has the most wonderful grilled tuna in General Santos City. They offer home-cooked meals, soup and super yummy barbecue.

Kiko's Family Restaurant closes on Mondays but you can call for an appointment at least an hour before you visit the restaurant so they can do the necessary preparations. Yes, they can accommodate you even on their rest day.

I would surely come back for more of the tuna grilled dish. Happy Eating!
