Baguio Greatest Hits for Good Food
Featuring another Baguio food establishment that needs no introduction. As for commentary, I’ve got lots to share about this place so …
5. Mandarin Restaurant
It’s been bugging me a lot seeing the Baguio restaurant list, running through the names of places where to eat in Baguio, and there, right beside Mandarin Resto is a “CHECK!” and a “no pictures” notation. I’ve been to Mandarin a few times but in those days, the digi cam wasn’t readily available yet (or it was, but I didn’t have the moolah to get my own =b).
So when Race was thinking about a tofu themed meal and I was stumped where to go (yes, I have those days too; san tayo, san tayo? Mai-aw-awan moves *hihi), Mandarin, a Chinese joint seemed the most logical choice. Off to town, to Session Road, up the first flight of stairs in the NetGear building (Shout out to Sir Lambert! (“,)) (Note to self: Must see what that building’s real name is) … and into the restaurant that is one of the City of Pines’ greatest hits for good food, we went.
The first items in our meal. Lots of calamansi, aw, thankies, Mandarin! Our drinks, coffee and guyabano shake. The latter was so good, I had to have another glass … also because … wait for it ….
Amare La Cucina: Love the Kitchen, Love the Food
I’m so ecstatic to see the number of Baguio food questers growing. It’s fun to find out too, that there are many more people getting into the business of providing the City of Pines with good stuff to eat.
As I’ve indicated before, Jo has become one of my bona fide Baguio food exploration companions. She’s keeping a look out for newly opened places and it probably works so much better that way since she gets out a lot. (Exercise sightseeing, gooooo, Jo! *me with pompoms)

UPDATE: Kambingan sa Scout Barrio (formerly Tabligan’s)
Mission: Look for and dine at Crazy Chef.
That was Karla’s find which she told me about in December of last year. She did mention in our Barn experience though that she wasn’t sure if they were still open (startup troubles, something or other. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they work-ed things out.) To Loakan, Race and I rode, almost getting to PMA. We didn’t see Crazy Chef on either side of the street, both ways, coming and going. (My bad for not rereading Karla’s directions before embarking on the journey. =b)
We were prepared enough, however, in that we had a backup plan. We learned a little something about how to do proper recon, from my brother. *hee
Plan B: Tabligan Kambingan sa Scout Barrio … and what a great fallback it was. (“,)
