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 listrunning 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.

UPDATE: Beggang Resto Grill

Going on the food adventure to Beggang with Beth, Race was intrigued about how it has fired up my appetite even further.  He just had to sample what the resto grill had to offer himself.

So, one April evening, we had our meal at Beggang resto.  Combo meal D, a plate of pork spare ribs in BBQ sauce served with buttered vegetables and rice, caught Race’s attention. Having somewhat of a filled tummy before getting to the food establishment, I got what was listed on the board of  today’s specials – fresh lumpia.  Fruit shakes, green mango shake and buko shake, were our dinner drinks.
