UPDATE: C Boutique Hotel … Angels, ‘meet Charley’.

All rightie, it’s confirmed. Charley’s is the name of C Boutique Hotel’s in house restaurant/bar. (I didn’t want to assume when Jo, Race and I went exploring what this accommodation had to offer in the way of munchables. *hee)

Anyhoo, due to the inclement weather we’ve had (Typhoon Nando’s in the Philippine area of responsibility now but I hope, it will leave the soonest *fingers crossed), I (probably everyone) didn’t get out much to check any restaurant off the list or even make a repeat visit to any of the places I liked. Boy, was I in the mood for Charley’s dishes.

It was fabulous timing that Maam Gracie of SkyCable’s Events Next Door invited my fellow blogger eatsplorers, Ane and Sam, and me to an exclusive food event at C Boutique. \m/

Baguio Greatest Hits for Good Food

Strike three (and we’re IN \m/) for Baguio restaurants that need no introduction or any kind of commentary!

(We were supposed to case out Star Cafe but we’ve come upon it with its doors closed … again.  Ahey, I didn’t know they closed so early.  But oh yeah, I’m learning. *hihi)

Notable Edibles #1 – Chic-Boy’s Chicharon Bulaklak

Chic-Boy’s Chicharon Bulaklak

It’s almost 3:30 p.m. and it’s a good time for a snack. One of the possible choices is chicharon bulaklak/flower cracklings (Ohh, has a nice ring to it, no? Let me say that aloud to myself again, flower cracklings. Whoo-hoo. =b) and where do they have a scrumptious plate of these?  One of the places I could recommend is Chic-Boy.

Say flower cracklings! I’m amused. With ginisang kangkong sa bawang photo bomb.

They’ve got branches in Bokawkan Road, Bonifacio Street corner Dagohoy Street and Session Road … so you can see it’s pretty easy for you to come by chicharon when you start craving for it.  Chic-Boy’s is sold for P130 a plate. They also serve this with a zingy  bowl of vinegar. [It’s their own special mix, I believe and what a mix it is.  They sometimes give this out sparingly, (it’s different from the one in the bottles on the table) but you can always ask for a little more.]  What I especially like about these meat blossoms is that, they keep the shape of these intact (mostly *hihi).

Okay, appreciation time over, let’s start dipping and munching. (“,)
