Forecast at Casa Pizzeria: A Downpour of Pizza with A Chance of Pasta

It’s been said (and joked about) that being a weatherman is probably the best job that one could ever have.  Their justification: “It’s the only job you can keep while being wrong 80% of the time.”

Speaking of weather, we’ve been having some really strange and unpredictable ones of late and when it’s monsoon-y one day, it’s warm (even scorching hot *shyeew) and fine and dandy on another.  Today (06/17/2013), we’ve got a tropical depression in the Philippine area of responsibility and thank the gods, it’s not rearing its ugly head yet. (Hope it just fizzles out … hate stormy weather =b).

Casa Pizzeria/De Leon Pizza inside the casa

Inside the little casa … Room 306 De Leon Building is not necessarily on the “third” floor.  Enter the building from the Session Road entrance, the casa is the door on the right before you get to Western Union. (No flights of stairs to climb.)

A Moment of Peace at Cafe de Angelo

With an area of 57.5 square kilometers, Baguio City is a pretty small city.  Although it’s not the smallest (According to some funny man on Yahoo answers, it’s Legoland with its scaled down buildings and its temporary population. =b) and not that big either, it can still be pretty noisy with sounds like passing vehicles, welding sounds from a nearby construction etc. going on in the surroundings.

Sometimes, you just want to get away from the hustle and bustle.  If only for a short period of time like lunchtime, snack time or an early dinner, the perfect dining experience would be at some place quiet.  So where to eat in Baguio?  Think outskirts of the city like Eve’s Garden and Mama’s Table.  For someone on a budget, however, these places may be out of the question.

My C Boutique Hotel Diet

“A diet is when you watch what you eat and wish you could eat what you watch.” ~ Hermione Gingold

Luckily for me, I must have won some kind of jackpot in the genetics/metabolism lottery that I could afford to be on a “see food diet” – a phrase coined by my sister which means “I see the food, I eat the food”.  (Although heaven knows how much I cross my fingers and mantra that I wouldn’t wake up one day with everything I ever ate catching up with me. *POOF I go, in my imagination. Perish the thought =D)  .

Hearing about the C Boutique Hotel and running a search for their in house restaurant, I stirred myself up into excitement.  This was a food adventure that Race, Jo and I had to go on, TOUT DE SUITE!
