âApo ni Lola Durian Delicaciesâ
Davao City, Philippines
Apo ni Lola Durian Delicacies is famous for creamy and tasty delicacies made from Davaoâs symbolic fruit-Durian-Unlimited free taste. Very friendly and generous staff. Well planned marketing strategy, and if youâre looking for Durian delicacies as souvenir, this is would be the best place. When you want to buy straight from the outlet than at the airport because of the cheaper price and they offer a free taste of their delicacies.
Founded on 1993, Apo ni Lola Durian Delicacies began as a microenterprise in San Miguel Village, Matina, Davao City. It is primarily engaged in the manufacture of durian candies that started with only few variants and basic flavors. It began operating with three (3) workers including the owner himself who is a third generation descendant of Abondia Del Puerto Raakin or Lola Abon, whom the company was inspired. Products range from traditional and ever-popular durian candy, tarts, bars, sandwich spread, to durian ice cream. In addition to durian-based treats, it also offers products made from other local fruit such as mangosteen, jackfruit, marang, and mango.
While vacationing here in Davao City Apo ni Lola is one of the famous durian candy souvenir that proximately to my auntâs house. December 14 my sister and niece passed us with Apo ni Lola when we entered there was a free taste that immediately opened up to us so we were very happy because it was only here that we experienced the free taste of Apo ni Lola and we bought of their special ice candy durian fruit they not only have durian flavor but also various other types such as mangosteen. Inside of Apo ni Lola when you enter beside of cashier you will saw the family picture and a poster picture of Apo ni Lola family and President Duterte and Heneral Bato poster.
And outside of Apo ni Lola store you can see the statue of durian fruit where you can take a picture because of its shape as if you are lying down and so you can sit down for a picture taking. I highly recommend you when you want to go to Davao City, look for Apo ni Lola in Matina Village not because their product is cheap but because their products are so good that I know you will definitely come back. It is also worth it to buy as a tourist for a souvenir for your family. Enjoy! Have fun.
