When In Baguio






This is one of the most popular "pasalubong" from the Land of Pine Trees. I guess the cool air agrees with the raisin bread that's why if you purchase it in Baguio, it tastes good compared to the ones made here in Manila or other parts of the country.

The raisin bread was from the Baguio Country Club bakeshop. There are so many breads there but the raisin bread was the bestseller. The cheese roll and the baguette are also good.

Dr. J feeding daughter haagen dazs! hahaha
*** where's the photo??

During daughter's very first check-up, she was a week-old then, the family came in full support when we went to Dr. J's clinic. Family means hubby, daughter and I, plus O's family and lola L.

Aside from getting her shot (I forgot what it is), daughter had her ears pierced also. Ouch! She cried loudly, angrily, I think. Luckily, lola L was there to give her a dancing swing and coos.

It was almost lunchtime when we're done and since Dr. J doesn't have any other patients scheduled for the day, she and her family joined us for lunch at Max's. Afterwards, we all went to Shangri-La Plaza and bought a blue and yellow stroller for daughter. I love the duck prints. We had the stroller cleaned and washed with alcohol so that daughter can use it so that we can enjoy going around the mall. Daughter's a baby mall-rat! Hahaha.

Had dessert and coffee (them) at Haagen Dazs before going home.

Som's Thai Restaurant

The restaurant is located near Powerplant Mall, near Kalayaan. This is not a posh resto but it does have more than a fair share of followers. Avoid lunchtime or dinnertime especially with an empty stomach unless you're lucky to get a table that quick. Dining al fresco is also allowed here if you're not particular about the cars.



Bagoong Fried Rice. This is good although some friends say that they've tasted better bagoong fried rice. I think I did also, at Sawasdee. Alas, that resto is already in the history books.




Seafood Curry. This is our favorite and default order whenever we eat at Som's. However, it would've been nice if they add more shrimps or squid. *hint* *hint* There was a time when we bought some take out curry and luckily, we have some leftover shrimps so we're happy, happy, happy.
