This yummy delicacy is available at SM CDO and at the airport (prices at the airport are a bit expensive). Its a bread with yema in the middle.

Motorella

We tour CDO mostly through the van that was provided by our host. I was only able to take a picture of it. Its actually a "member" of the tricycle family. This I think has been engineered to cross the rural streets of CDO.

Fresh and cheap fruits! Love the mangosteen, Lanzones, rambutan and marang. We ransack kuya's (kuya: older brother) fruitstand. hehe

What to buy: mangosteen, Lanzones, rambutan and marang (one of the most sought after fruits in CDO, looks like a durian but this one's easier to open)

What to pay: less than 100

Since we weren't able to do rapelling, we were atleast able to find this historical site in CDO. According to the site info, this cave has served as a shelter to soldiers and their families during the Fil-Am war in 1900.
