Donne' Dinanche Restaurant, Tumon, Guam!!!

Lupe and I try to experience a new restaurant every couple of weeks. We like trying out new and exciting restaurants. And we found the experience at the fairly new Donne' Dinanche Restaurant in Tumon as such.

A friend had recommended the Donne' Dinanche Restaurant and were we are glad we went. Donne' Dinanche is located in the Royal Orchid Hotel complex. I must say that I normally do not write about restaurants on my Guam Firehouse Cook blog but this was definitely worth mentioning.

Donne' Dinanche specializes in what is referred to on Guam as "local" food "Chamorro" style!! If you don't know the meaning of Chamorro, it means the native people of the Mariana Islands, their customs, food and language.

We opted for the lunch buffet at $7.99 plus 10% service charge. The buffet is different every day. We had three different meat entrees, appetizers, salad bar, kelaguens, dinanches and drinks. It was more than worth the price but more importantly the food was great. Just like home!!!

Here is the menu...

As you can see by the menu, quite the variety but yet not too many items that you would be lost in the "menu zone".

Guam's Food Guy, Ken Stewart, wrote his review about his experience here and it was all super positive. To read what Ken had to say, you can go to his Guam Diner web site and read the review. Just toggle down about 9 articles.

KUAM News also featured a special on Donne' Dinanche Restaurant. It is a Joan Charfauros production of "In the Mix". You can view that video here.

For more information you can also visit Donne' Dinanche's Facebook page. 

So if you happen to be in the Tumon area and you get those "hunger pains", pull on into the Royal Orchid Hotel complex and pay a visit to the Donne' Dinanche Restaurant. Order up some home style "local" food. It will be an experience that you soon won't forget. 

Until next time....

Froots Restaurant, Guam....A Great, Health-Conscious Place to Eat!!!!

We love fast food. Who doesn't!! One of my wife's favorite fast food restaurants here on Guam is Froots.

Froots is a nation-wide fast food restaurant franchise. The local franchise on Guam is owned by Christine Baleto. There are two locations on Guam. The first one opened in the Agana Shopping Center. This did so well, another restaurant was opened at the Guam Premium Outlets also known as GPO. Froots offers an array of made-to-order smoothies, wraps, paninis, salads and soups. This restaurant sports a health food theme. And they do it well.

The last time we went to Froots, my wife ordered the California Turkey Wrap wrapped in a spinach tortilla. This wrap is packed with turkey breast, bacon, Monterrey jack cheese, tomato, onion, alfalfa sprouts, avocado, spring mix, and ranch dressing. My wife loves this wrap.

I ordered the Tropical Toucan smoothie. This smoothie is "off the hook". It contains mango, peaches, strawberry-kiwi juice and orange sherbert, all my favorite flavors. These smoothies are thick, cold (brain freeze) and just plain delicious.

Here are a couple of pictures of my wife's California Turkey Spinach Tortilla wrap...

Here is the presentation

This is one fantastic tasting wrap!!!

Froots has quite a large variety of health-conscious menu items. Here is their menu....

One of our local television news stations, KUAM, aired a video report on the Guam Froots which was reported by Joan Aguon Charfauros. Here is that video...

So if you are looking for a delicious, health-conscious bite to eat, go to your local Froots Restaurant. You will definitely be glad you did and so will your stomach.

Until next time....
