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
Raclette as appetizer! YUMMY!!!
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
Teppanyaki/Misono
Mom prepares Vitalite instead of regular butter
Of course truffle oil and truffle salt… and now Mom is introducing Grape Seed oil to us
And freshly ground sea salt!
FONDUE
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
Dessert: Chocolate fondue

Kikufuji is one of the favorite restaurants of Dad and Mom. They love it here because they serve dishes that are not found in other japanese restaurants. The menu is in Japanese without English translation, but for some reason, we know exactly what to order when we go here. The place is always full and when you see Japanese eating in a Japanese restaurant…that only means it is the REAL thing!

Definitely another restaurant to go to when in Subic. Thanks to Tita Nena and Katrina for recommending the place. We used to pass by this place on the way to the church but never go to eat here and to think it has been there for five years already. It’s American style with big portions so it’s good for big groups and sharing. We ordered everything recommended by Tita Nena
You can watch them make the pizzas
Big Ben is supposedly their most popular pizza with everything on it
NACHOS!!!
The Ribs were very good!
In Tita Nena’s Subic garden she built two bahay kubos and a sand box for her grand kids… No wonder they don’t mind coming over…Lola Nena makes sure that her kids and grandkids all have their rooms and prepares everything for them when they come over. Suddenly Javier wants to be invited when he is in Subic 🙂
Javs and I were so happy to have had the chance to visit Tita Nena in her Subic house and as usual we love her country house. She was busy fixing her house and preparing it for her kids and grandkids who come over to visit. We were amazed at her collection of magazines and books which was in almost every shelf in the house. She told us she collects then and reads them over and over again. As usual, they are neatly organized and for sure chronologically arranged. It is so nice to see what people collect and know their interests
In her kitchen, all recipe books and magazines
Even in her laundry room are more magazines
And could not help but take a photo of this plaque in her kitchen 🙂
Thanks to Tito Rico for arranging a great boating trip for us. It was an hour boating ride to Zambales where there was a cove and a beach where we could go to. We had the beach all to ourselves!! It was beautiful and everyone enjoyed. The kids were trying to catch crabs, picking up shells and enjoying the clean white sand and clear water by the beach. A priceless experience and another way of appreciating nature
