Counting Our Blessings at Mama’s Table

I thought this day would never come! The day that we dine at Chef Vicky’s beautiful home finally arrived!  Having made a reservation months ago (after seeing the Heart 2 Heart blog in one of my Baguio food researches/recons. Thanks so much for sharing, Ms. Rica), I was excited to the point that I couldn’t sleep well when finally December came around the corner.  (If I had it my way, my loved ones and I would’ve gone the instant I found out about Mama’s Table. =b)  It was like the hours of December 16 couldn’t go quickly enough so that it would be 5:00 p.m. and we would be at this home/resto/establishment.

Come in to Rose Café for Warmth, Comfort and Good Food

A week into December and the temperature in Baguio has dropped significantly.  (Also owing to the monsoon and the typhoon. *shyeew)  No matter how cold it gets though, the berr months/holiday season is always an exciting time to go on an early morning walk.  After the walk, the question you’re surely going to be faced with is, where to eat in Baguio?  Besides the food, your body’s no doubt looking for warmth and comfort too.  Rose Café is just the place to get all of these.  It’s more than sustenance that will warm your body up.  (“,)

It Takes a Ketchup Food Community to Make a Happy Tummy

Or is it the other way around? ^^,

No matter.  But just so you know, before any of the other eating places at the Ketchup Food Community came to be, there was Happy Tummy.  A Thai restaurant opening for business at the most opportune time (when people became more receptive to Thai cuisine), they serve pad Thai, chicken pandan, fried tilapia in tamarind sauce, som tam salad, Thai iced tea and more.  What with the mega flavors that their offering of Thai dishes have, you can order up something as simple as eggplant salad and eat it viand-like with bagoong rice or maybe the more downplayed salty flavor rice – Thai rice.  A good and filling meal for a happy tummy.  (“,)  That’s what Race and I did the first time we visited this restaurant.  Hanging out in one of their dining tables in a hut, we had happy tummies in no time.
