Baguio Eats I : Batirol, Forest House, Ketchup

First family trip with our new baby Tala! It's been quite some time since I've last been to Baguio and I was glad for the opportunity to bring the kids :)  It's really quite a handful but we managed beautifully, I must say. Even had the time for a pizza dinner date with Rob :) 

There are three restos I try to visit when in Baguio: Forest House, Café by the Ruins, and Chocolate de Batirol. This time around, just got to visit Forest House and Batirol. I always love Batirol's chocolate and this time it was no different. Had their chocolate with strawberry -- perfect for the cool weather :)

We were pretty disappointed with Forest House this time though. Although my Salpicao was flavorful and soft to the bite, Rob's Pork Chops was not well-seasoned. Fish fillet was just okay too. To top it off, although we knew that the resto was quite pricey, we kinda felt that the food we had wasn't worth it.

One of the new places we tried was Canto at the Ketchup Food Community. Ketchup houses around 5 food establishments with different offerings -- Filipino, Indo-Malay, Thai, and American cuisines. It's quite a cool concept.

We really enjoyed Canto. Very laid-back, value-for-money, and yummy! I really enjoyed everything we ordered; pizza, burgers, and the beef meal just hit the spot :) Next time, will definitely go for Ribs!
