Sit-Down at Alfoncito’s Place: An A1 Experience

Potential hang-outs have been springing up like mushrooms in the past few days. (That’s right, days.)  There was this milk tea shop, that milk tea shop, and a restaurant reinvented.  Before I heard about all of these however, my sister gave me the heads up about Alfoncito’s Place.

I was still in the process of planning a trip to Kisad Road to check this new Baguio resto out when Maam Gracie called on her ‘angels’ (just so you know, that’s Ane, Sam, and me now =b) to give them a try.

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.

Route 55: Good Food Bringing a Dead Zone to Life

Legarda Road is a long road starting off at the Heritage Mansion and ending at the intersection of Marcos Highway/Ben Palispis Highway.  When there are lots of shops, hotels, restaurants and other kinds of businesses in the first part of the road; the latter part is mainly a dead zone of sorts.  Just to prove my point, a huge building that has never been finished stands in the vicinity as a marker.  Passing by that section of Legarda at night, it even seems as though the street lights are dimmer and the air colder. *whoooo =b

Route 55. Admit it, it’s beckoning to you. =D

With the opening of more businesses in the dead zone, this area of Legarda Road is slowly being brought to life.  Read More…
