Pancake House: House of Hotcakes and A Smorgasbord of Other Yummy Stuff

If there’s one word I would use to describe what restaurants have to be these days, the word I’d pick would be “diverse”.  As per Wikipedia, diversification is a marketing strategy that allows for a business to increase sales volume. This would either be through new products and/or expanding to new markets.

Inasmuch as the biggest goal that the best food establishments should have would be to make other people happy through their offering of delicious dishes, they have to bring the bacon home to their families, too.  Having something for everyone in their target market is a great way to accomplish these (what should be the) top (two) objectives.

UPDATE: The Venizes (Cafe Veniz & Veniz Grill)

It has come to my attention that I never really left that many pieces of information about the sister restaurants at Hotel Veniz, whether it’s about the cafe or the grill.

I just mentioned that the Venizes is where my P3 posse and I hung out the most since:

  • it’s right smack in the middle of the central business district,
  • they’ve got a variety of dishes to offer,
  • and the lot of that, all for a reasonable price.

Between the two of these places where to eat in Baguio, the most photos I have from the early beginnings of the Baguio food quest are at Veniz Grill.  (Oh, how we love their Mongolian buffet spread … I’m reminiscing now about all the hours we spent there just satisfying our hunger, relaxing and having fun after a hard day’s work.)

I thought all those points would be enough to inspire you, my fellow Baguio eatsplorers to make Cafe Veniz or Veniz Grill one of your food destinations while in the City of Pines and considering that’s my first post about a Baguio restaurant ever, I hope you forgive me.

Anyhoo, it’s a deficiency that’s easily rectified. So here goes, Veniz Grill vs. Cafe Veniz (in pictures).  (“,) Read More…

Notable Edibles #4 – Tuvera’s Longganisa

Seeing that I started July with a blog about a notable edible in Baguio, I’m going to follow through and make the last post of the month about another noteworthy viand.

(It would also be good to have a short-ish post today because my internet connection has been moving at snail’s pace ever since that lightning crashes and torrential rain last Friday …  It will stop me from picking my monitor up and smashing it on the ground in annoyance. *hee

As for the benefit to you, my fellow Baguio eatsplorer, you’ll still get some info about what to eat in the City of Pines.  Win-win. \m/)

Please direct your attention to:

Y-U-M! (“,)

Talking about longganisa from Baguio City, the first thing that comes to many people’s minds is Alabanza’s version.  That never really registered for me (and my family, I’ll explain about that in a little while) until they started setting their booth up at the Panagbenga Festival.  (Going on early morning Session Road in Bloom walks, my furry friends never fail to stop and fill their nostrils with the scent of  these regular and garlic flavored sausages cooking over portable cooktops. =b)
