Heaven in Baguio

Food Showdown: Desserts
More from Baguio: While there, we also got to visit the Food Showdown at the Baguio Country Club. Dessert preparations were plated and presented and while not every entry was perfectly done, there were those who stood out. Here's sharing with you some of those;







Cafe by the Ruins: Never disappoints
Lunch with the team brought us to Cafe by the Ruins. My visit to this city will never be complete without having their delicious coffee and pastries. More than that, we sampled and savored not just the sweets but also their other delectable offerings.

Taho Soup

Imagine Taho served with dashi broth and made more rich with an egg. I personally call this the confused sukiyaki and miso soup in one. I like it though.


Tortang Talong

Anything with cheese always, always tastes better.


Gado-Gado

Sweet and salty, this dish was inspired by the popular Indonesian salad, but Ruins' take makes it a healthier bit with tofu served as its main protein.

Pinikpikan

This is one dish you shouldn't miss. Soft, tender and flavorful chicken pieces that is served with sayote leaves. Absolutely heaven.


Signature Red Rice


Lemon Chiffon Cake

I love this dessert with all its blissful textures - crunchy & spongy mouthfeel from the cake and sweet & slimy from the mango julienne pieces; a beautiful ending to a wonderful meal.


Ruins' Coffee

Served with Tira Tira, what more can you ask for?
