Dining in Baguio

By November 13, 2008 Foodie, Travel 4 Comments

 My friend, Melissa, asked me for the Top 5 restaurants in Baguio…. That is a tough one to answer!  Only because when we are in Baguio, we always eat at home.  Mom prepares the best meals at home and we do not have to go anywhere else.  We eat outdoors all the time to take advantage of the cool weather which we cannot do in Manila.  We have Misono/Teppanyaki, Fondue, Barbeque, and Mongolian Barbeque. Mom brings up all her equipments and ingredients together with her whole household to make sure we are fully equipped.  WHAT A MOM!  We are so lucky we have her to feed us! 🙂

Last month we went to Baguio for three days and so we were able to have fondue and misono/teppanyaki

Mom made sure I took a photo of her battery operated peppermill which she is so proud of 🙂

Watercress salad with truffle oil – Mom always makes sure she has watercress in Baguio which you can get in abundance at the market

Appetizer:  Cheese fondue

We all like to eat the crunchy part after – “tutong” 🙂  YUMMY!

Mom has her own fondue sauces which are different from mine and she claims hers is better 🙂

For fondue, we have broth and oil – for the health conscious ones, they use broth.  For the oil, Mom uses olive oil

    Wow, rica – everything here looks yummy 🙂 Are the truffle oil and truffle salt available in Rustans supermarket already? The last time I checked in Rockwell, they didnt carry it yet 🙁
    Also, would be very happy if you can share your recipes for the fondue and the teppanyaki 🙂
