Baguio Greatest Hits for Good Food
Featuring another Baguio food establishment that needs no introduction. As for commentary, I’ve got lots to share about this place so …
5. Mandarin Restaurant
It’s been bugging me a lot seeing the Baguio restaurant list, running through the names of places where to eat in Baguio, and there, right beside Mandarin Resto is a “CHECK!” and a “no pictures” notation. I’ve been to Mandarin a few times but in those days, the digi cam wasn’t readily available yet (or it was, but I didn’t have the moolah to get my own =b).
So when Race was thinking about a tofu themed meal and I was stumped where to go (yes, I have those days too; san tayo, san tayo? Mai-aw-awan moves *hihi), Mandarin, a Chinese joint seemed the most logical choice. Off to town, to Session Road, up the first flight of stairs in the NetGear building (Shout out to Sir Lambert! (“,)) (Note to self: Must see what that building’s real name is) … and into the restaurant that is one of the City of Pines’ greatest hits for good food, we went.
The first items in our meal. Lots of calamansi, aw, thankies, Mandarin! Our drinks, coffee and guyabano shake. The latter was so good, I had to have another glass … also because … wait for it ….
Ki’kan – Food Adventure at Lights Out (1st Installment)
It’s not just the lights actually, but the electricity for the city. (It’s easier saying it in Tagalog. “Walang ilaw” covers the lights, and anything that has to do with current and voltage. =D
With the lights out for the better part of the day, I thought of going on another eating binge where a couple of restaurants could be checked off from the list. The first stop was Ki’Kan Restobar. (It should’ve been another Star Café visit with me and my brother making like members of old Baguio hanging out with coffee and evaporated milk as creamer, but the cafe was closed. *hihi) Up we went on Session Road to Governor Park Road. What I was going to have there was going to be breakfast and for my brother, it’s a snack. He ate breakfast before we went out. (Ahh, the men and their stomachs. \m/)
Down the stairs to Kikan! (“,)
