Manna Garden Cafe, Revisited (an UPDATE)

A looong overdue update. *hihi Whew, would you believe, it’s been two years since  our last visit to Manna? … and don’t I know it, and don’t you know it, there’s been a ton of big changes in the garden cafe since then. (Hooray for growth and improvement!) (I’ll say again, a very dynamic industry. Meanwhile, there’s all these restos opening up in every other inch of Baguio that’s keeping me and my foodie lovies’ chompers real busy.)

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.
