Look No Further than Backyard Baguio

Blog anniv celebration with the Baguio food questers ‘core group’!  Yey! (“,)

We were torn between food tripping at Everything Nice CJH Technohub (a name we know well, in their newest branch so we can relive how the binge began) and checking off an entirely new (reinvented) Baguio restaurant, Backyard Baguio.  It was a tough decision with the day being rain free and all, but we decided we were curious enough to see how the old Brod Pitt has changed.

How Things Changed in a Year …

Okay, a ton of things have changed in the city’s dining scene since I started this Baguio food blog *hihi, but I’ll just be featuring the most recent ones I noticed for this post. ^^, Ready for the ch-ch-ch-ch-changes?

1.) Forest Lodge

Used to be The Suites (the hotel/accommodation that stood in the shadow of The Manor and maybe one reason why it sounded so unreachable before was because it was exclusive to shareholders/tenants).  Oh yes, it’s fair game now. *heehaha  Le Twist (its inhouse resto), we’ll be having a food adventure in your dining area soon!  Weee!

Forest Lodge 19th Tee Baguio Back to the 80s anniversary party

A few of the goings on at the lodge’s anniversary party.
Theme: Back to the 80’s.
They called in the DJs from the old Spirits Discotheque to get the people pumping and grinding on the dance floor – which turns out to be the new 19th T(ee). (I used to have an ice cream scooping stint in the old 19th Tee, not really in the 80s =b but boy did that get me reminiscin’. Missing Myrtle and Biang now.) Cue Life Dance! Yeh!
Before the party officially started at 8:00 p.m., Forest Lodge served Le Chef made little munchies and cocktails (which Race and I missed the better and more scrumptious selections part of due to the weather, dang!) But Race, their highnesses, their friends (It was nice to meet you Kariza, Nikki and hubby. (“,)) and I got to top ourselves off with pulutan/finger foods once the party got hopping. *nomnomnom pulutan. =))

Intermission ( … and the winner is … ^^,)

Getting sick is something that rarely happens to me. (Thanking my lucky stars! *hihi)  When I do catch something, however, some of these illnesses have a “one time, big time” quality to them. [Blog anniv celebrated in bed with hot and spicy soup, pizza, Cuttie Cuppies goodies, orange juice and tea with perilla seeds just to get that medicine-like taste out of my mouth. It feels like I have a ‘sick’ (and I imagine green colored, ew-ew-ew) tongue, too. *bleh.]
