LAzy Afternoon, Don Hen Lunch.

Ribs

Company

Combo 1

It was raining so hard, and everyone seems to be comfortable cuddling and watching TV all day long. It was so cold and I was freezing. I thought of cooking Japanese ramen with shoyu base soup but I was so lazy to do it. I stayed inside the room from the morning I woke up until lunch time. Everyone in the household was already complaining that they want to eat and starving so to end our miserable afternoon, I decided to have a DELIVERY! It would be the first time after 9 years that I will going to have a delivery from Don Henrico's. It's been a while, and although that we dine in Don Hen Cainta before, it would be different to have a taste of the original and first. It took more than an hour for the delivery but it's ok, it was raining so hard. I ordered Company for myself, ribs combo for my husband and Combo 1 for my sister. Well, I was sort of 80% disappointed. The fries was already soggy and cold. There was no ranch dressing which I requested. The spaghetti seemed like 2 bites, and that's it! My chicken looks awful and too much breading and the garlic on the bread is not well cooked so it taste too strong. The ribs was perfect, and since that's my favorite in the whole world, I gave them 80%, but if it wasn't, it'll probably be 30%. And to think everything was expensive now, the service and the food was disappointing. So I don't think that I will be having delivery from them for the next 1 year.

Our 2nd Visit to Baguio

Aussie Rib eye

Toasted Garlic

Aussie Beef Porterhouse

French Fries

Atsara (Mixed Pickled Veggies)

Baguio will always be a part of my life. The cold weather and the freshest vegetable is one of the wonderful thing about this place. I probably can't count how many time I've been in Baguio City but now, I count every visit because I am not alone anymore. I have my family to include in my adventures now. So even if it was raining hard, we promised to go back and visit places we were not able to go to the first time we were there. And since we love steaks, we give another try to Sizzling Plate and we checked out if the management already noticed all those cockroach nestling on the roof. We didn't notice it until we finished our order and again, I was disappointed because all the cockroaches are still there. They painted the place and it was good but the insects are still there (it is outside the box where the fluorescent light is). We ordered Australian beef for a change. I ordered Australian beef rib eye and my husband was Australian Porterhouse. Instead of rice, we requested french fries for replacement and the steak came with Atsara (mixed pickled vegetables) and lots of toasted garlic. Late that night, we decided to go out for some drink and we choose Nevada again. There was this new drink called Baguio Sling and so we decided to tried it. Ew! that's all I can say, you can't even determine if its sweet or bitter or what. It has too many mint leaves and the flavor was just disgusting! We munch on Calamares (squid rings) which was ok, I love their dip. The next day before going back to Manila, we had lunch in 50's diner imitation Jim's Retro Diner in Session Rd. I am not really sure if they have the same owner but everything looks like 50's diner. The food was good and very affordable, although I saw one small fly on my veggies and they replaced it. I am not hard to please especially with food, because I love food, but if I found something floating, swimming on my food that is not supposed to be there, your credibility as well as my trust is gone in a split second.

Our Visit to Baguio

    My family and I recently visited Baguio ironically when it was rainy and the weather was really bad. That’s how crazy we are sometimes and no wonder my husband and I are still together until now! Hahaha!  So we visited places such Burnham Park, Club John Hay, Mines views, SM Baguio Mall, The Market and the night life in Nevada Square. We had 5 days vacation in Baguio so we really made an effort to explore their tourist spots and foods. We stayed in Hotel Veniz which is strategically located at the heart of Baguio (well for me) because it is besides the market, session rd (downtown), Burnham Park, Malls and many more. Of course we had breakfast in the hotel because it was free, and BUFFET! Our Favorite! Then after that we decided to go out and visited places. My son really enjoyed running in Baguio’s fresh and super green grass. The can even smell the pine trees! Unfortunately it was raining really hard so we went back to the hotel early. We had dinner at The Sizzling Plate and although the food was great, the place is not.  There are so many cockroaches all over the place, and it was scary because even their ceilings are full of baby cockroaches (which are worse than big ones because it’s harder to notice if it’s already in your food!!!) This is not my first time to visit the place so I was really surprised that the restaurant is almost falling apart. My favorite sans rival was still great but their steaks (porterhouse and t-bone) are not that yummy anymore. We even changed table 3 times because of the roaches. Then the second day we partied at Nevada and we were also disappointed because the place is not the same anymore as it was before. It was too crowded, not of people but of establishments.

     Then we went to this place called Kamalig Comedy bar, it was funny and the gays are really hilarious but not to be compared to Manila’s Comedy bar because it is still Novice. The next day we visited 50’s diner on its new location and to my surprised, although almost everything changed, the food was still ok. The servings are still big and the vanilla shake was still awesome! The last 2 remaining days of our vacation was spent inside the hotel because there was a typhoon, it sucks but we had some quality time together so it turned out great. Then before going to the bus terminal, we decided to have lunch in SM Baguio and we found David's Tea House. The servings are huge and the taste was phenomenal. But if you are in a hurry to eat, I will not recommend this because it took a while for our order to be served. We ordered Pata tim and some dumplings.
