Davao City’s booming culinary scene has seen multiple restaurants opening around town over the past few years. Among the new breed of young restaurateurs is twentysomething Patrick Co, a graduate of the Center for Asian Culinary Studies in Manila and owner of two establishments off and along Victorino Mapa Street, a relatively quiet area compared to bustling Torres Street, Davao’s long-standing restaurant row.
At The Asian Cow, a casual dining restaurant painted in neutral black and gray tones, with bright furnishings as design accents, the young chef serves up colorful renditions of Asian dishes he’s tasted in his travels.
