Dane’s Bakery

By Heart2Heart | Travel, Yummy! | 2 Comments

Since Vicky told me that Oysters Nora was across Dane’s – I decided to take a peek at that P 1.00 fresh pandesal everyone is lining up for!

Previous entry: Oyster’s Nora September 5, 2012

I went to the wrong Dane’s which was off Session road

It was around 10 am and yes there was a line!

There are two lines to get hot pandesal

They were selling them like hotcakes! I bought some to taste! It was very fluffy and good 🙂

Then when I realized I made a mistake, I had to go to another Danes to look for Nora and this is the other branch in the market

Since we do not really eat out when in Baguio- I just go and check out the places recommended by some friends. This is one of them, an Asian restaurant run by a Malaysian Chef. It’s right after the Mansion on the other side of the street

A cute house

Outside seating but it was raining

Casual dining

While we were driving on the way to Techno hub, we saw this hotel! We had also heard about it from Vicky Tinio as she mentioned their restaurant as a recommendation. They had recently opened in February 2012.

The restaurant is right by the lobby as you enter

And continues out till the back with nice view of the Le Monet gardens

Fresh Talangka

By Heart2Heart | Foodie, Travel | One Comment

Near the longganisa place, we saw this couple selling LIVE FROGS!!! GOSH!

I told him to smile for me 🙂

And small crabs!! My Mom told me that her Dad used to buy that for them and he would squeeze the talangka ( crab fat ) out and put it directly on garlic rice or plain rice! Hmmmm… sounded so good!! I told Mom to make me try it!!

When it got home, the cook cooked it in the pan!!! OH NO!! She said there were some that were not alive anymore so she cooked it!

Vicky told us that you have to soak them fresh in vinegar and then squeeze them. We skipped the soaking part and the cook just cooked them and squeezed them. The crab fat came out still and it actually tasted YUMMY! I just added salt and pepper

It takes a lot of crabs to get talangka!

Baguio Longganisa

By Heart2Heart | Foodie, Travel | 6 Comments

My Mom and I went to the Baguio market – this is like a ritual everytime we are in Baguio. It’s amazing how I am always here but everytime I visit, I discover a new place there. This time she took me to the Longganisa place. WOW!!!! It’s a sight to see but I do not know if I would really buy anything from here since I do not know who they are, where they make it and what it is made of 🙁

The names sound so yummy!!!

This vendor claimed they were the ones supplying the famous Baguio Country Club longganisa – so mom bought some and we tried it and it did not taste good 🙁 The smell was really bad while cooking which is why I would refrain from buying in this section

Oysters Nora

By Heart2Heart | Travel, Yummy! | 2 Comments

Vicky also shared with us her source for fresh oysters from Dagupan! It is in the Baguio market where the fresh seafoods are. It is across Dane’s bakery

WOW!!!! HOW CHEAP!!! 🙂

Here is Nora!!! Vicky calls her Oysters Nora 🙂 so that is the name I put in my phone. Cellphone # (0908)-177-2015

She will clean it for you

I bought 3 kilos and brought it for lunch. Mom and Tita Reggie prepared it. Here are instructions from Tita Reg on how to prepare

Pour boiled water over them to quickly blanch them and kill any bacteria if you are not sure of their freshness. Otherwise when you open them and they have a clean fresh salty aroma you should be able to eat them raw with lemon or vinegar bath.
