Chaya Restaurant: Easy Peasy Japanesey Cookery

A lot of the time, food from other countries come out as interpretations when they’re served in the Philippines/Baguio City.  Meaning, they have a touch of something Filipino in them either in the way they’re prepared, the ingredients used as substitutes and so on.  While they still come out delectable, you might be out looking for what’s authentic.  As in the case of Japanese food, nothing beats the real deal.  Japanese cuisine is easy peasy… (dare I continue?   Read More…

A Bountiful Breakfast Buffet at the Country Club (B3@BCC)

Happy Halloween, my foodie friends! (“,)

We don’t really celebrate Halloween in the Philippines but we’re slowly getting into the spirit (…spirits? =b) of it.  A ‘demon-stration’ (*heeharhar) of just how powerful a force, globalization is. *A-whooooo!

Diplomat Hotel Baguio

Me – getting into the Halloween spirit at Diplomat Hotel Baguio (2010). Whooooooo! (“,)

Let’s take a break from the Baguio food and restaurant blog and just hang …upside down or around (whichever you prefer) a little bit.  If you’re at a Halloween party, you can just go ahead and get to ‘gnaw’ the other guys and ghouls there.  Try out the party food too, =D how about a slice of Tombstone pizza topped with Muenster cheese or bagel with scream cheese?  Some fish and ships for Mr. Kraken? =))

Alright, I’ll put this post (mortem) of horrifyingly bad Halloween puns to rest.

Happy Halloween, guys!
