Te Quiero, Te Quiero

A good theme song for me is the Beach Boys’ song, I Get Around.  I do get around and thanks to Race and his trusty motorcycle, I get around more.  While riding around the city, I saw that Microtel Baguio opened their own restaurant.  Named Te Quiero Tapas Bar and Restaurant, this is where you’re going to get your fill of Spanish dishes.

Dinelli Gourmet at Le Monet: “Damn You, Eggs Benedict”

Dinelli’s Gourmet has long been a fixture at the Camp John Hay Filling Station (beside Strawberries and Ice Cream).  I never really got around to visiting the place since I had so many other establishments on my list before it.  When the Le Monet Hotel was being built, I saw through their big wide windows that they had a beautiful chandelier and big comfy looking peach colored chairs in their restaurant.  I just had to bump it up my list just to experience it.  So I scoured the net for their information when I heard that they were open for business.  I found their details on Facebook and I made a reservation.  Just a few minutes later, I got the confirmation and so breakfast buffet at Dinelli’s was on.

Soledad’s: Where Memories of Good Home Cooked Food Come Back to Life

A common proverb in the Philippines goes; ‘Ang hindi marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan, di makararatíng sa paroroonan’.  (Literal translation: He, who doesn’t know how to look back on where he came from, will never reach his destiny.)  This can also apply to food when we take a look at the options we have for getting good food today.  Our society has developed so much in the food industry, that even the biggest brands for food in other countries, e.g., McDonald’s and Starbucks have found their way here.  Some had a little difficulty breaking into the Baguio market and some even failed (Wendy’s and Kenny Roger’s Roasters) but with the arrival of these restaurants, the number of places to eat at in the city had risen exponentially.
