There are so many good reasons to go to Baguio nowadays!
One of the highlights of our Baguio vacation was our dinner at the home of Vicky Clemente! I heard about her from our good friend, Lindy. Â What a memorable experience! Â
We spent our New Year family celebration here and it was a great idea!
As we were early, we enjoyed the  Board of dips, pate and bread with our champagne
You can bring your own wine, which we actually preferred to doÂ
Vicky says she has no menu when people ask, because it depends what is in season and what she sees in the market. Â She also will not tell you your menu as she wants it to be a surprise! Â Heart2Heart loves surprises!! Â We all enjoyed our 8 course degustation!! Â
Amuse bouche, an intermezzo, Fish course, another intermezzo, meat course, followed by a digestif and then dessert for P 1,250.00 + service chargeÂ
Vicky went to culinary school ten years ago in the States Â
For kids there is a 5-course meal ( at P 250.00 / person ) so they can enjoy a similar experience plus marshmallows and mini hotdogs to roast in the fireplace. Â
Drivers and Yaya’s eat free!! 🙂 
Contact Vicky for reservations and she will give you more information and directions to her place
“With Atleast 2 days notice and minimum of 6 persons, Dine in my home and enjoy view of Cordillera Mountains and our lovely garden”

For many years, we have been visiting Sabado’s to look for pieces for our homes. Â Whenever in Baguio, we pass by to see what they have. Â If ever you see these type of things in Manila, they will probably be 3 times the price! Â So you might want to check this out. Â They can even deliver to ManilaÂ
This is Greg, the owner.  He used to have long hair and a beard- now he is clean cut and looking younger 🙂
 He has rare sizes of wood – i hope you can see the long wooden table leaning on the wall.  It’s one piece of wood and will be made for a table.  It’s sold already so it was set aside Â
Â
Another table top from a single piece of wood – it reaches the roof Â
Then you go down where he has chairs, tables and other pieces of wooden thingsÂ
A bowl made from a tree trunkÂ
Â
more bowlsÂ
Chairs and tablesÂ
This is the upstairs storeÂ

Everyday for lunch, we ate outdoors in the house in Baguio. Â The weather is just so nice and perfect. Â
For the first time, we had Bryan Flannery rib eye steaks misono ( teppanyaki ) style! Â As expected, it was very good!!!Â
This was our salt for the duration of our stay in Baguio 🙂Â
Chef Javs and Chef Tita Reggie cooking Â
James has a new gadget to measure the temperature of the beef!! Â Â

 A definite MUST SEE when you go to Baguio!  Even if you go to Baguio just to see this, it is all worth it!!!  It’s beautiful and so rich in art and culture! Thank you Bencab for showing the world true beauty through your works of art and making us proud to be a Filipino!

Thanks to Neng for telling us about this place!!!! Though it has been in existence for ten years already, we only heard about it now.  We all loved it!!  In the beginning they were complaining that it was a bit far, around 30 minutes from the city, but when we got there, we enjoyed it! It’s all about being able to experience something different, something unique, meeting different kinds of people, doing different kinds of things…. discovering.  I am so glad my family is adventurous because I am! 🙂
Mom and I loved the flowers on the gateÂ
So she asked me to take her photo with the gate! 🙂 My beautiful and fashionable mom! Â
A nice and cozy place which can probably sit 20 people
Our table which has the best view in the house!
the view while you are dining
Eve’s Garden has a set menu ( P 650.00 per person ) and she said it has been the same for the past 10 years!
Glass of Juice made of freshly squeezed pineapple juice with lemon mint and sage sweetened with mascovado sugar
Soup made with a base of onions and squash with seven herbs garnished with parmesan cheese croutons and yogurt
Salad Platter made of eight lettuce varieties served with carrots, turnips, walnuts and raisins and a ceasar type dressing made from organic flax oil, olive oil and sunflower oil prepared with seven fresh garden herbs
This was the highlight of our meal!!!  We were all amazed at this salad!  Heart2Heart took like 20 photos of this salad from all angles!!  The flowers are edible and we ate them!!  It was a big portion so we could not finish it ( except for my brother Quito 🙂 )
It’s a beautiful work of art just how it was prepared and made!!!!Â
 
The dressing was really good, we all loved it.Â
The server taught us how to eat the salad. Â You have to get a lettuce and put the raisins, nuts, veggies insideÂ
Then dip it in the sauce and eat it! Â YUM! Â Â
Main course choice of
Steamed Norwegian salmon with caper dressing with organic rice and turnips
Chicken breast with pesto fettuccine served with whole wheat buttered fingers
Grilled tenderloin that has been soaked in saki strawberry wine, honey and herbs served with organic red rice, corn and turnips
Choice of Coffee
Or ginger ginseng with mint tea
and a homemade dessert
After our delicious and healthy meal, Eve came out as per request of Javier! Â He wanted to meet her!
And we requested for a tour of her Green house where she grows all her lettuce!!
The plant that grows the edible flower
Going down the greenhouse
Some herbs on the way down
WOW!!!! I wish I had this in my backyard so I can have salad everyday fresh from my garden 🙂
This is how they grow the lettuce, first plant them for 15 days
Â
Then transfer them into pots for another 15 days
Water them 🙂Â
Then transfer them here! WOW!!Â
There was so much lettuce, we had to take home some, what a nice doggie bag 🙂Â
contact eve by cellphone and she will give you all the details including directions on how to get there.
