DUSIT Thani Davao Hotels proudly celebrated the launch of South Ocean, its newest Chinese dining concept, during an exclusive launch dinner held on June 8, 2026, at Madayaw Café.
The evening gathered members of the media, business partners, influencers, and distinguished guests for a first taste of South Ocean’s carefully curated menu, showcasing traditional Chinese cuisine crafted with premium ingredients and time-honored cooking techniques.
South Ocean introduces a new dining experience within Madayaw Café, where a dedicated section of the restaurant has been transformed to showcase traditional Chinese cuisine.
While one side of Madayaw Café now serves as the home of South Ocean, the other side will continue to offer the well-loved international buffet and Western specialties that guests have come to enjoy. This innovative concept allows diners to experience the best of both worlds within a single dining destination.
Guests were welcomed with an immersive culinary experience featuring signature dishes that reflect South Ocean’s commitment to honoring the rich heritage of Chinese gastronomy while delivering a refined dining experience in Davao City.
The launch highlighted the restaurant’s vision of becoming a premier destination for families, business gatherings, and special celebrations seeking traditional Chinese flavors in an elegant and welcoming setting.
Beyond its restaurant offerings, South Ocean’s menu will also be available for banquet and catering events hosted at Dusit Thani Davao Hotels. Guests planning corporate functions, business meetings, birthdays, weddings, and other milestone celebrations may now choose from a selection of Chinese banquet dishes and set menus, bringing the rich flavors and traditions of Chinese cuisine to their special occasions.
Throughout the evening, guests enjoyed a thoughtfully prepared multi-course dinner, complemented by presentations showcasing the inspiration behind South Ocean and its dedication to quality, tradition, and hospitality.
The successful launch marks another milestone for Dusit Thani Davao Hotels as it continues to expand its culinary offerings and elevate the city’s dining landscape. For reservations and inquiries, please contact +63 905 562 1370 or email d2dv.fbreservations@dusit.com.
