Baguio Dining A La Carte – Menus, Menus, Menus

I feel like I’m leaving so much time in between posts, I wanted to give you  a few more infobites about dining around in the City of Pines for this week’s topic. Just in case you’re wondering what’s served and how much these go for from a particular resto, I’ve got a handful of menus (two pairs of hands full would be more accurate =b) from places I’ve checked off the list before 2013 ended that I haven’t gotten around to writing a post for yet.

(As usual, click on the photo for a better view and for the best view, the magnifying glass mouse pointer. If that still wouldn’t do, you can always leave a comment/send me a message and I’ll gladly take a peek in my photo archives – higher resolution ones, for that little detail that you need. Apologies for the haphazard collages … time is gold kind of pressure. *shyeew)

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. =))

UPDATE: Le Chef Deli – Ensaimada

In my October 24, 2012 post about Le Chef, I touched a bit on the Palm Garden Health Spa (The Manor’s in-house spa) staff’s favorite deli product…the ensaimada/ensaymada.  (Shout out the spa people! Hey, hey, hey! (“,))  I didn’t have a photo of this delectable pastry then and here it is now! Read More…
