Wine Depot

By | Foodie | 3 Comments

November 23, 2007 Thursday

Thanks again to Mike and Gloria for a great recommendation.  We were looking for a place to celebrate the birthdays of Dette and Brenda. Gloria highly recommended the STEAKS and that was what we enjoyed the most.

Wine Depot is a wine shop until you walk further inside to the end where they have a restaurant. 

We got to meet the chef and owner.

He explained the menu – that being he can cook anything in the board in any way we prefer.  Interesting! Though we just left it up to him to recommend as he should know best what he can do best.

Dinner by Kai

By | Foodie | No Comments

This is our second meal catered by Kai and we were very much satisfied.  The service was excellent and the food was very good.  All this for around P 700.00 ( not including the beef but they provided the stone cooker).  I think it is very reasonable for what we had and the portions were overflowing. There were leftovers which we got to keep.   We were a party of 13 adults and 4 children so I guess there was no minimum.  I whispered to my Mom that it is even less costly than eating in Kai itself and you get to have it in your own private venue 🙂  So try them!

Yakiniku Senri

By | Foodie | 5 Comments

ConCon recommended this place to us so we wanted to try it. The problem with eating only as a couple is you cannot really try many dishes.  So we were only able to try 2 yakiniku dishes.  The basic beef, Japan Karubi cut,  and tongue.  We wanted to try the tongue because it had some unique variations I have never seen before ( with onion and with garlic).  So the one with garlic chips is what we tried.  I found the tongue a bit too thick. I prefer it sliced very thin.  The karubi beef  was very good and we had it two ways- with the regular barbeque sauce and I had them marinate another order in just salt and pepper.

Isdaan

Thanks to Con Con for telling us about this place and thanks to Dina for waking me up or else we would not have been able to go to this unique experience!  On our way down from Baguio, we stopped here to have breakfast.  It was 3 hours from Baguio and another 2 1/2 hours to Manila from this place. 

We spent more time touring and taking photos rather than eating.  But the food was very good and reasonable.  The huts where you dine are floating on water.  They have games which you can play if you want to win a kilo of fish – crossing this narrow bridge and the monkey game – and you can throw plates on the wall to release your anger 🙂 

According to the waiter, anyone can come in even if you do not eat. So make sure to pass by ( you will not miss it ) even to just make a wish to the giant Buddha!

Happy Birthday Jigger and May!!

By | Celebrations, Foodie | 2 Comments

November 6, Tuesday People’s Palace

How compatible can they be? They have the same birthday!  And next year will be even a bigger celebration as they get married after four years of being together.  Finally Jigger has found the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with…and to think he has so many requirements and qualifications 🙂  May is definitely a good choice!

Thank you Jigger and May for celebrating your special day with us. It was fun taking photos of everyone.  It seemed like everyone was so used to posing for the camera 🙂  and we enjoyed the food and the menu selection you picked, definitely the BEST Thai restaurant in the country!! 

***********************************

Jigger and I are turning a year younger tomorrow.  He’s turning 30 & I’m turning 25! 🙂 Join us for dinner tomorrow night at people’s Palace, 8pm.

Baguio Country Club’s Pastry Shop

By | Foodie, Travel | 5 Comments

This has got to be everyone’s favorite spot at the club!!  I was surprised to see it renovated since the last time I was in Baguio!  There is much more space to sit down and eat.  And now you can place your orders in advance especially for the ever popular raisin bread.  The cakes are delicious especially the St. Michael and the Carrot cake.  They have a strawberry shortcake which is also very good but there was none when I visited, probably sold out! Still have to try the others.  The chocolate truffles are new!!!

Baguio Foodie

By | Foodie, Travel | 10 Comments

We normally just enjoy eating home and going to Starbucks when in Baguio, but this time, Thanks to Tammy, Dina, Ria and Ramon, we got to try quite a number of restaurants in our 4 day stay.  Many of them have been there for a long time and we see them in passing but we have never tried them. Maybe they should come with us everytime we go to Baguio so we get to try another bunch of restos 🙂 

Hamada- Japanese Teppanyaki at Baguio Country Club

Cantinetta – Quality and taste is just as good as the Manila branch- ordered our usual favorites – Spaghetti Bolognese, pizzas and the Tartufo pasta.  Location:  Camp John Hay, beside Starbucks

House of Waffles – Former Country Waffles.  The place was full for breakfast!  They now have Korean food to probably cater to the Korean golfers in John Hay.  Located near the entrance of the John Hay Golf Clubouse beside Starbucks.

Mile Hi Diner – Recommended by Heather.  Typical American diner food, nice ambience.  Same owner as Carlo’s Pizza.  Address:  Mile Hi, Camp John Hay

O’ Mai Khan – Recommended by Chris.  Ramon wanted Mongolian BBQ.  They had an extensive menu aside from the Eat all you can Monolian BBQ. Address: 12 Otek, Baguio City  ( near Burnham Park )  Phone: (074)442-5885

The Baguio market is always a haven of fresh items!!!
