Yoghurt House & Lemon Pie House

A Sagada trip is never complete without a visit to the infamous Yoghurt House and Lemon Pie House. Just about a 10-minute walk from the Municipal Hall, Yoghurt House never seems to run out of customers! Walk further down the road and you'll see the humble, bright yellow facade of Sagada's Lemon Pie House, which normally runs out of their signature Lemon and Egg Pies!

Yoghurt House was cozy and had a laid back atmosphere conducive to great conversations with good friends. The place only had about 9 to 10 tables for four, black and white photographs of natives and the Sagada sites hung on walls, along with traditional Sagada weaving.


As the name implies, Yoghurt House is famous for their yoghurt. As I've mentioned in a previous post, I'm not a fan of 'pure' yoghurt, but Yoghurt House quickly turned that around. I had yoghurt with banana, strawberry, and granola. The yoghurt wasn't too sour, and the blend of fresh strawberries and bananas, plus the granola texture, created a delightful flavor that blows away the commercial frozen yoghurt. Definitely a must-try! :)

Of course, Yoghurt House is not only reputable for its yoghurt, but also for the food they serve. Rob and I ordered Robust Sandwich (open-faced Tuna Salad sandwich) and Roasted Eggplant Pasta, coupled with hot Lemongrass Tea. What a great meal! Since they cooked your food only when you have placed an order, you are ensured of a fresh, hot plate. The downside though, would be that you had to wait awhile for your order (food is cooked according to table). Nevertheless, it was worth our while to wait for our meal despite the steady rumble of our tummies. Both the Sandwich and Pasta dishes satisfied every inch of our hunger. Fresh veggies, a great recipe, definitely one of the best meals we've had :)

Next stop was Lemon Pie House. Initially, we wanted to visit the place after dinner, but we were out of luck since all the pies were already sold out and they closed early. The owner was kind enough, however, to let us have a look-see around the place.

Kiddie chairs and banigs (mats) create a laid back atmosphere for Lemon Pie House. We beggedManang to stay open even if it was for us to just have coffee or tea, but we were just darn too late. Luckily, however, we managed a quick trip to the shop they next day and ordered a box of the infamous Lemon Pie. I actually didn't know what to expect. A semi-sour pie? But what met my palate was a creative mix of lemon and sugar on a just-right crust. Surely an interesting taste that is worth a huge bite :)

Yoghurt House and Sagada Lemon Pie House are definitely must-visits when you go to Sagada. Can't wait for a trip back! :)
