Benguet Province..

When you wonder where it is, then read this.. :) And as to the history of our place, go here 

Makulay na Buhay.. :)

Color is one thing essential in our life, thus what could be more appetizing than lively yellows, greens and reds on the table! These M&M mugs i found tucked in a corner at the Sunshine supermart. When i was going to pay at the counter, the cashier was sad i found them because she was hoping to get it soon as payday comes. I felt sorry for her that i actually apologized for buying it! :)

And these lovely colored plates were bought at SM and Tiongsan. So much for patterns and sets for eating, i want to enjoy my food and what better way than to add colors to everyday food!

A simple breakfast with the Hubby.. garlic fried rice, longganisa, tuyo and eggs! 

mangan tako! :)

Tuna Ham Carbonara

Here is my take on a famous pasta recipe that almost anyone can whip up. For the pasta, cook a 500 gram package according to directions and set aside.


For the sauce:
1/4 k. chicken ham sliced into strips
6 cloves garlic, diced
1 small can Century Tuna in oil or brine
1 box Alaska cream
1 pack of Knorr cream of mushroom soup (dilute in cold water)
dried basil
ground pepper
salt to taste
grated cheese (Magnolia Cheezee)


Heat some oil and then fry up the ham until a bit toasted, then dump in the garlic. Saute until garlic is golden brown, add the tuna and stir. Measure 1/4 tsp. of dried basil and place on the palm of your hand and rub it before sprinkling into the pan. This way the flavor and aroma are released. Then season with salt and pepper. Pour in the cream soup base and cream. Bring to a boil. Turn down heat. The sauce will thicken due to the cream soup base. Adjust flavors according to taste. Plate up some pasta, pour the sauce and top with grated cheese. Yum! :)

Desserts at the Sweet Stop

    Homemade it is. Flavorful, decadent, heavenly..are just words to describe the yummy creations tucked in this quaint corner of The La Azotea. Tried out some but the choco-mint brownies wowed my taste buds, it captured the perfect blend of chocolate and mint that i have always loved in a brand i used to crave a lot. Their cassava cakes are made not from cassava flour but from real, grated cassava. 

And these chocolate chunk cookies pack a lot of flavor, moist with a chunk of chocolate thus its name. Again not to sweet, just right.. So if you crave for something sweet but not overwhelming, the Sweet Stop it is! :)

Eats in Baguio... Jen's Fastfood

      After much rain for days, a sunny Saturday morning was most welcome thus what could be more fun than strolling down Session road.


      And looking for good eats makes it all the more enjoyable. Moi and hubby thought of where to have a good lunch, a lot of names came to mind then suddenly we thought of going somewhere off the grid from the usual. There's this place that had good mami for Sunday breakfasts after Mass. Off we headed to Jen's Fastfood, and our palates were oh so satisfied!


      While waiting for our food, moi spotted desserts! What joy to have the creamiest brazo de mercedes! No frills, just pure heaven. :) Will definitely come back for the cream puffs! :)


     A typical "rice meal" in Baguio is a plateful of rice, vegetables, fried chicken or pork and an egg. The version of Jen's is made special by their fried rice or shanghai rice with bits of chinese sausage and scrambled egg and green onions.It had much flavor I ate it with just soup! :)


     Hubby had the fried chicken rice, what could be more yummier than the classic fried chicken sans coatings etc. Their version is simply flavorful I may want to come back for a whole chicken! Also tried their pork asado and it had just the right flavor to it, not too sweet or salty. The way asado should be. 

    So when in Baguio, check them out along Diego Silang St. Just food with a lot of flavor, none of the fancy stuff. :)
