Student Fare, Bakakeng: Cafe de Illustradoz and Food Ville
Bakakeng today (yes, I’m fixated on the location at the moment *hihi) is a far cry from the Bakakeng of my memories. It was one that had an outskirts type of feel to it that was changed with the arrival of a school and its students. Now, it seems like everything you’ll ever need here is attainable with the barangay residents transforming their garages, front lawns or backyards into businesses.
(This so reminds me of how my best friend, Myrtle used to say how she loved the prospect of relocating to where I lived. On the ‘university belt’, it seemed like barangays with its eateries, convenience stores, laundry shops, PC rooms, etc., could be a city on its own, she said. Big hugs, Myrtle and the kiddies! (“,))
When you need to eat and you need food fast, delicious and easy on the (student) budget (in the Bakakeng vicinity), you have a handful of choices now. Featuring two of Cholo’s recommendations (Thankies, Cholo!): Cafe de Illustradoz and Food Ville. Read More…
Cake/Pastry Making: Generations – at Cakes by Yda
Who’s ready to read about Cakes by Yda? (“,)
I hope you are, my dear readers, since I’ve more than alluded to this new-ish food depot with a double mention: at the Find Good Baguio Food‘s FB Page and in one blog post about new additions to our Baguio restaurant list.
The first time I heard about these baked treats was at our first dining experience at Cafe de Angelo. Whilst taking photos of the place, New York cheesecake was sitting come hither like in the display case. Cakes by Yda the tag said and as soon as Race and I got home, I ran a search for the establishment.
After a lot of enviable check-ins from my new Baguio food quest companion (introductions below), we (X+1 Race) finally got to try something of Yda’s.

Apple pie, moka pot and Kape Umali‘s spiced cafe latte =)

Intermission to Taste ‘New’ Yum-Yums from the Cuttie Cuppies Shoppe
Waking up today, I had a different Baguio restaurant (restaurant-S actually) in mind to be the (tandem) subject of this day’s blog post. Much like with everything else in the world, we have to expect the unexpected and adjust accordingly. Here I am derailed (a sweet derailment, I assure you ^^,) by the Cuttie Cuppies Shoppe.
They’ve sent me a few goodies to get my chompers on, you see and boy, is it my pleasure to get a-munchin’! (You know how much of a PX goods sucker I am.)
Now, the dilemma I’m having is which pack/box/can to open first?
