Countryside Eatery: A Gem of an Eatery at the Side of Country Club

With my aunt and uncle coming to Baguio for a golf tournament, my aunt mentioned an eatery found beside Baguio Country Club that’s making waves for serving good (and later, as I’ll find out – authentic) Filipino food.  Passing by the country club to get to Camp John Hay (walking my furry companions), I only made a note of stores lining the wall of BCC.  Indeed, great things are found in the oddest places and the Countryside Eatery (also known as Rimando’s) is evidence of this.

Chef’s Home: Where the Flavors of Asia Converge

Cruising around the vicinity of Mines View/Wright Park, I noticed a particularly nice house being built.  (Finally, a house facing the main street/Mansion House.  I used to think about this a lot passing by to get to work at the academy.  If I had a house on that street, I would put my gate on Romulo Drive; it’s more accessible.)  As you already know, nice houses call to me and I so wanted to see what was beyond the interesting looking gate of this property.  (“,)  Good thing, it was meant to be Chef’s Home; a bigger and better establishment for Asian cuisine.  (Chef’s Home used to be in Apollo Store.  I guess, back then, it was a Chef’s store.  Mleh, corny. =b) [UPDATE 06/01/2015: Moved back to No.13 Outlook Drive (Apollo Store)] UPDATE 03/07/2018: Chef’s Home moved to #88 Unit C, Marcos Highway (Old Sicat Hotel), Bakakeng Central.

Zio’s Pizza: THAT’s Amore!

Let’s hit play on the Dean Martin song, the one that goes “When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amore.”  In the city of Baguio, whether it’s a large pizza or just a regular sized one, you’re still going to be love struck if you get this pizza from Zio’s.
