I never got the chance to ask who Em was. All I know that the shop is one of the "milk tea shops" that makes Nabunturan, the milk tea capital of Davao de Oro. Kidding. I don't know if the municipality is considering the tagline. Anyhow, if you are lost in the heart of the Valley, Nabunturan, and you are famished and want to quench your thirst. Tea Ems Corner is one of the places that can offer you thirst-quenching drinks and sumptuous meals. They are located at Purok- 13 Poblacion Nabunturan beside Novo.

One thing I realized when writing about places in Nabunturan is this: That as time passed they've changed. And one place that I've written about is Enrico's Coffee Shop. So I went back to Enrico's Coffee Shop last February 12, which happens to be Chinese New Year, and snapped photographs for updating. Also, I went with Recie to talk about things and life. We will be doing more of the shop hopping soon. This is the first one. I hope. Here are some of the snaps we did during the twelfth.

It's different when it came out of the planned mood boards, especially if you get so specific in terms of getting everything to look like out of a magazine. But even if it looks different in how you imagine it there is beauty when the final look comes different from what you expected it to be.

How do you stand out when the scene has been saturated with the same players? The Nabunturan Food Scene has been thriving. There were food houses to choose from; if you want Chinese there's the Mandarin Tea Garden, and if you want chicken inasal there's Mang Inasal,  and if you want homemade chicken noodle soup and rice cakes there is Bulakena Food House, and if you scour the whole Poblacion area, it's a mixed and match of pizza, chicken barbeques, pork liempo, home-cooked meals, tasty bread, cakes, burgers, fries, and street food and milk teas.

But what makes it more exciting is that Nabunturanon has allowed themselves to open their own palate to new flavors, it started with Cafe Noventa, Creativitea, Sweet Seoul, Enrico's, Yangyang's Kapehan then Bad Monkeys. Yes, we also need to acknowledge the existence of Vina Bai, and Sanitary Restaurant, the bulalo and balbacuas of Abucayons, and the homemade viands from Gina's Lechon House, the food at Humol's or the Twin sisters food stall near the Municipal Gym, the ALS View Sugba-Sugba, the bibingkas of New Sibonga. But don't forget the lechons and lyurots during Simballay Festivals.
