Sit-Down at Alfoncito’s Place: An A1 Experience

Potential hang-outs have been springing up like mushrooms in the past few days. (That’s right, days.)  There was this milk tea shop, that milk tea shop, and a restaurant reinvented.  Before I heard about all of these however, my sister gave me the heads up about Alfoncito’s Place.

I was still in the process of planning a trip to Kisad Road to check this new Baguio resto out when Maam Gracie called on her ‘angels’ (just so you know, that’s Ane, Sam, and me now =b) to give them a try.

Student Fare, Bakakeng: Cafe de Illustradoz and Food Ville

Bakakeng today (yes, I’m fixated on the location at the moment *hihi) is a far cry from the Bakakeng of my memories.  It was one that had an outskirts type of feel to it that was changed with the arrival of a school and its students.  Now, it seems like everything you’ll ever need here is attainable with the barangay residents transforming their garages, front lawns or backyards into businesses.
