Passion and Indulgence for Sweet Luxuries at Sweetmates

Food – it’s one of our most basic needs.

If you break food down to categories like dessert however, edible treats like cake, pastries, etc., can easily be referred to as luxuries.  (If you’re wondering what the difference of luxury and need is all about, you just have to think about it this way: Will you die if you don’t have/get that particular thing? Giving a purely logical, no drama answer =b, it would most likely be a no.)

Diner Dash: The Face Off between 50’s Diner, Jim’s Retro Diner and Future Diner (part 2)

And now for part two of the diner dash competition!  On your mark, get set, go!

The Second Contender: Jim’s Retro Diner

In comparison to 50’s Diner, the longest running diner in Baguio City, Jim’s Retro Diner is fairly new.  It sort of looks like a ‘mini me’ compared to the veteran restaurant for its smaller floor space, smaller diner booths and smaller retro era memorabilia.  A one up that the Retro Diner has on the other diners in this competition is that, they’re right in the center of town, Session Road.  Walking by La Azotea building, be sure to look below Sports House, so you won’t miss it.
