Our favorite spot for indulging in authentic Thai cuisine in Baguio is Som Tam. They offer a fantastic variety of soups, appetizers, and savory mains, many of which are generously portioned for sharing. To kick off our meal, we always opt for their tod mun khung, or shrimp cakes. They are coated, fried to perfection, and served piping hot alongside a tangy plum sauce for … Continue reading A Few of Our Favorite (Thai) Things at Som Tam
Our holiday getaway consisted of a week by the sea and stuffing ourselves with good food. Last December, we stayed at the White House Beach Boracay to attend the wedding of two dear friends. We decided to make a trip of it and explore the island tourist traps and gastronomy. Hotel Breakfast The White House Beach offers a deluxe room for two with a quaint … Continue reading Objects of My Ingestion: Boracay Edition

Sometimes, you need a pick-me-up – and that pick-me-up needs a little kick. That’s exactly what I got with these fabulous lemon tarts from Baked Krumbs. Before we even get into the taste, I want to show some love for how pretty they are. The bright yellow color of the filling put me in a sunny mood, even in the gloomy weather. And it’s framed … Continue reading Baked Krumbs’ Amazing Lemon Tarts

If you haven’t heard of Cafe Leche yet, the best time to head over there and enjoy their food and drinks is right now. They have a nice variety of menu items, but most of them are brunch dishes. We ordered eggs Benedict and a cheese, bacon, and ham omelette with a side of toast. My omelette came with a simple salad, as well. One … Continue reading Cafe Leche Serves Brunch All Day
I turned 29 this year! The only things on my agenda were to hit the beach and eat good food. I’m happy to report that I did both. Two days before my birthday, we went for a day trip to La Union. Masa by Barefoot came highly recommended, so we headed over there for lunch. We occupied a vacant table outside under the shade of … Continue reading Objects of My Ingestion: Birthday Edition
The first time I dined at Grumpy Joe, it was a newly opened, hole-in-the-wall place with a respectable ten-or-so tables. That was about eight years ago. Grumpy Joe as we know it today has grown remarkably, now with two large branches plus a third in La Union. Amid many changes (Their original branch along Leonard Wood has since shut down) the vibe hasn’t changed. Grumpy … Continue reading Grumpy Joe’s Must-Tries, All in One Go
Sometimes I look back at that first lockdown back in March of 2020, and I know I’m not alone in having binge watched Crash Landing on You. I don’t drink coffee, so I never got on the dalgona bandwagon, but the K-drama series offered a bit of comfort and levity in a scary time. CLOY fans will be thrilled to discover Seollem Cafe – a … Continue reading Seollem Cafe serves Korean Food, Drinks, and Aesthetics

I’m a … Continue reading Even More Sweets in Baguio
