PNKY Travel Cafe, Baguio City

After spending a week in the City of Pines, I'm back and experiencing scorching Manila heat! Oh, the heat. It's giving me a migraine! 

So anyway, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Black Saturday were spent in Subic with Paul and his family. On Easter Sunday, Paul and I went up Baguio. While he "worked", I spent the rest of the week going around the city, eating fresh Baguio vegetables and drinking freshly brewed Benguet coffee (for about 30-40 bucks a cup!). I love Baguio :) Although it's so much different from how it was before (I'm definitely not a fan of how congested it has become), I still find the place quite charming.  There were a hundred different things around Baguio that I wanted to take pictures of, but unfortunately, the camera was busted. Too bad. Maybe a trip back during the Panagbennga Festival would be nice ;)

On Tuesday, Paul and I had lunch at the Manor with one of our favorite persons in the world ;)

On Wednesday, I went to this quaint little travel cafe along Leonard Wood Road. A friend told me I should visit the place because they serve good food and good coffee. True enough, they do. Fascinated by the place, I took out my camera phone and took a few pictures to share :)

soon as they saw me start reading my book, they turned on the lights. how thoughtful ;)

at that time, I was their only customer

the counter covered with lomo pictures of course caught my attention :)

PNKY Travel Cafe Menu

it's just as interesting inside ;)

i got a latte for my afternoon caffeine fix...

...and a carrot cake (which was warm and soft and sweet and yummy :))

ceramic sugar container says "pnky"

my afternoon "merienda"

I meant to go back the following day for lunch/dinner, but Paul had other plans. So, maybe next time. PNKY is not just a cafe, it's actually a bed & breakfast, maybe staying there for a night or two would be a good idea. I hear they have nice, cozy rooms :)

Saturday Breakfast at Antonio's

After hearing the last few minutes of mass at the Pink Sisters Convent in Tagaytay (we arrived really late coz we, well, I assumed that Saturday mass schedule was the same as Sunday mass schedule), Chai and I went to Antonio's for breakfast.

The initial plan was brunch at Bawai's, but after reading a couple of bad reviews, we decided that we dint wanna risk it. We opted for breakfast at Antonio's instead.

Both of us have never been there for breakfast, so we were really excited to sample the breakfast menu. And... oh what a joy! :)

Do you like Pho?

So Paul and I were in the Supermarket a few weeks ago and we found this interesting pack of instant pho noodles.
