Resto Hoppin’, Food Tastin’ – Zola and Corporate Innovators Baguio Inc.’s Restaurants
A mouthful for a title, don’t you think, dear reader? =b
I can tell you, it was quite a literal mouthful those two days at five restaurants with us tasting over 30 … yes, 30, dishes.
(Here, I thought, they were mostly just drinking places. Foodies, join me in the happy dance; there’s food here! Lots and lots of ♪ ♫ food, glorious food ♪ in Zola Resto and the restaurant group of Corporate Innovators Baguio Inc. made up of Drop Out, Sala, Hardin Restaurant, and Just Another Damn Good Sick Joint.)
DAY ONE
1.) Zola Resto Cafe
So we started out bright and early and met with Ms. Pam, Ms. Kimberly, Sir Dean, and Sir Carl at the 24 hour resto/cafe, Zola. How I marveled at its wide space with tons of dining seating. You see, since they moved a floor up in Patria de Baguio Building, I’ve never really dined here … motorcycles not allowed on Session and all. *hee
One after the other, plates of the best of Zola’s offering came out to the balcony where we chose to hang out. #nakakalula They said breakfast is the most important meal of the day and boy, did we have it packed and heavy. Race really loved the lechon kawali with its tasty veggie side dish, poqui poqui (that was a lot like babaganoush).
Meat to meat pizza, chef’s salad, chicken drummets, cheese pork rolls, chocolate and vanilla waffles, pesto pasta, lechon kawali, watermelon cucumber drink, and coffee \m/

2.) Drop Out
For (late) lunchies (we had to let the Zola foodstuff settle), we only had to walk a short distance to Drop Out.
The photo op before the eating. =))
Race and I have been here recently and it sure is an awesome place. (Take a look see of their menu here.) Impressive clock collection. I especially like the watchtower placement of this eating place. There I go, taxi name reading again. *heehaha
Chicken pops, pasta negra, hou berry and sea breeze drinks, pork chop, Ilocano sisig and mugcake a la mode
As heavy as our breakfast was and as full as the Dropout lunch made me, I couldn’t keep myself from getting another slice of the tres fomage pizza. Ohh, toasted-to-burnt cheese! Fabulous, dah-ling, just fabulous.

3.) Sala
It’s a new dawn, it’s a new eatsploring packed day which we started out with coffee. Get this, it’s ONLY P20 per cup.
Do you hear that? Must be coffee lovers everywhere doing the happy dance now too. *hihi
Brewed coffee for P20
It’s been ages since we’ve been at The Camp and now, we’re glad see a menu with many more delicious things to munch on (and to pair with the pocket friendly cups of brewed coffee). \m/
Sala’s dining area is also an awe inspiring sight. We went wow over the paintings in the ceiling before and we went wow once more. Again, I had half a mind to lie down on one of the couches and study the art above more intently. =)
Iced coffee deluxe, pizza burger, 5 sliders with a variety of stuffings, chicken cutlet
Ms. Kimberly wasn’t kidding when she said, a popular dish at Sala was the pork ribs with potato salad. When the oils of the meat met the potatoes, it was heaven. Whoo-zah! Yes to rice please to ensure we get all the sauces off the board.

4.) Hardin Resto Cafe
I’ve been meaning to come here for the longest time (just like Drop Out until recently,) and thanks to this eatscapade, we’re here! What a pretty place Hardin is. =D I really didn’t do it justice with these photos of Race and me.
On a side note, they accept events bookings here. The resto/cafe/bar’s business operations begins at 6:00 p.m. and so your event can take place here the whole day … I’m talking, 8:00 a.m. till 5:30 p.m. Imagine that? Nice deal if you ask me.
Anyway, Hardin surprised us with its pages and pages of chow. Interesting tidbit from Ms. Pam, droves of people come here not just to unwind with drinks but also for dinner. ^^,
Sir Carl of Baguio Smile in action
Why wouldn’t they when there are so many options at this garden themed eating place. Off of our food tasting menu, I liked the Korean style pork even if it really had a good kick to it, their flat bread pizza (I’m half wondering if it was the arugula on the slices that sealed the deal *tee hee), and the karekare made with bagnet.
Spicy belly Korean style and corn pancakes, Igorot salad, four cheeses flat bread, pork crackling kare kare
If I had to pick a piece de resistance from here though, it would have to be the apple strudel. Cinnamon sweet apple chunks encased in delicate phyllo pastry resting on sublime vanilla sauce topped with spun sugar, this dessert is a sight to behold and a delight to the taste buds. (“,)

5.) Just Another Damn Good Sick Joint
The Joint also has an updated menu since the last time we were here. Yey! It was the perfect place to cap the evening off as well as our two-day food adventure.
Here we go with the pulutan. *sly grins everywhere Crunchy chicken skin, check! The meatballs with onion gravy was a hit with all of us too … if only for the gravy. =) Another round of rice for this please.
Meatballs with onion gravy, crispy smoked pork with BBQ sauce, sick joint sausage, chicken skin =)

Kakagaling ko lang sa hacienda na wititit wifi at pagbalik ng dyosa may feature na ang best food blogger ulit. At ang daming nirampahan at lafang. Maging blogger na rin kaya ako para malafang ng bonggang bonga hehehe At Bet ko nga sa Sala ang Gandara Park ng place. Di ko pa natry sa Hardin at Drop Out dyan kami next.
Hello there, Mario! Good timing this Zola/Drop Out/Sala/Hardin/Just Another Damn Good Sick Joint scheduled post then =b Welcome back!
We sure did eat a lot. Two days busog. *hihi Yes, why not start a blog rin. So many things to talk about … food palang. Go, go, go!
Apir, I love Sala … and Drop Out. Really lots of thought put into their decor. Add Hardin Resto Cafe to that too. I hope you enjoy your time eating there! (“,)
Kalowka ka Xine ha. Photoblog kamo pero ang dami mo parin nachizmax
*heehaha Five restaurants, with over 30 dishes tried … soooo hard to keep it short =)) … even if I only focused on my favorites. (“,)
