Whenever I search for new resto to try out at blue bay walk here in website, I've been eyeing on this one. The ostrich farm! But every time we're on the location we fail to search for this, as resto is quite small. Sunday night after hearing a Mass in Baclaran church. My bf and I went to blue bay walk to buy his shoes and other stuffs for myself at tiangge. He asked "where do you wanna eat, you want Tsukemen again? Burrito? Or kebab? I replied "I don't know.... I've been looking for the ostrich farm whenever we're here but I can't find it" .. "Let's ask the guard" Thank you Kuya guard!!Who knew that this resto is a good one. Yup it is small but the interior is so dainty :) People here are so friendly and give smiles to you. Big serving and it was so good! Thumbs up!

I'm kind of loving the country-feel it tries to in vibe their diners with. It's a small restaurant perfect for having that quiet talk and eating with your buds. Their menu is straight-forward and most of it's options highlight ostrich meat, making the joint really unique.It's not my first time to eat ostrich meat as we had it when we went to Gensan and when I had the Northern Mindanao Familiarization tour with the Philippine Tourism Board. Apparently, an ostrich farm is present in Cagayan de Oro, to educate tourists and locals alike, breeding and consuming them like poultry.So it's not like we're putting the ostrich to extinction when we think of eating them like turkeys. They are the newest farming innovation and many benefits can be claimed from raising them.If you aren't adventurous as we are (Bhogs and I), you can opt to have burgers and rice meals made not of ostrich meat. As you can see in the menu, Burgers are of Angus, regular beef and of course ostrich. But the experience would be a bit senseless right so why not get your taste buds explore. Let me share first what I had. It's probably one of the best Adobo that I've tried next to my Papa's recipe that is or probably even better, oh there, I'm confused!TOF Adobo with Garlic Confit is a must to order.Get ready to have your mouth suffer the consequence of having garlic-breath. But I didn't mind, thus I'm ready for any vampire attacks. Confit, btw, is the slow, low temperature cooking of an item in oil. Confiting garlic brings out the sweetness of garlic and also takes away any acridness. The result is soft and creamy garlic cloves that spread easily on bread. Needless to say that if you're feeling under the weather, garlic is a great way to boost your immune system and this is the most delicious way to have it over the capsule form.Might I say all the good treats and taste gotten from "confitting" the garlic was obviously a delight with this dish. A serving has slices of fresh tomatoes and boiled egg all over a cup of rice.Bhogs had the TOF Macho Burger, well, not that he's trying to be macho and all but I found the name interesting, "malay mo maging matcho nga sya kakakain nito, hehehe."The ostrich patty that made this burger up was savory and seasoned enough to his taste, we also were asked for his choice of sauce to go with the burger and chips. He had Bleu cheese sauce.
