Death by chocolate cake at Hill Station Bistro

This dessert sounds very intriguing, doesn’t it? Take one spoonful and wait for all the sensations to register – hot, sweet, and cold – and it’s easy to realize the inspiration behind its name.

Each serving goes for P110, and is available at the Hill Station restaurant along Upper Session Road (Casa Vallejo Building) and at the new Hill Station Bistro at the Camp John Hay Technohub.

Lomo Ribs at Canto, Ketchup Food Community

It’s easy to see why Canto, a restaurant at the Ketchup Food Community, is always full with diners (with more lining up outside): the lomo ribs, one of the few offerings on its menu, are just mouthwatering.

Served with an excellent salad and either mashed potato or rice, it’s hard to believe half a slab goes for only P190. A whole slab – which can probably feed up to three people – is at P270.

Head to Canto early for lunch to avoid lining up, especially on weekends. The restaurant is closed on Mondays.

Balbacua by Urban Camote, Ili Likha Artist Village

How far can P50 get you? At Balbacua by Urban Camote at the Ili Likha Artist Village along Assumption Road, Baguio’s newest food community, you can get a steaming bowl of balbacua.

Balbacua is a Southern Mindanao beef stew dish, slow-cooked for six hours and served with your choice of mountain rice or noodles. Factor in the place’s rustic, artsy ambiance and convenient location and you’ve got yourself your newest Baguio haunt.

Dark beer cheesecake at Ozark Diner

You probably won’t eat cheesecake and down it with beer, but there’s another – nay, more ingenious – way of doing it: the dark beer cheesecake, which you can indulge in at Ozark Diner along Bareng Drive in Bakakeng. And if you’re still up for another slice, also try the Chocolate Siling Labuyo cheesecake (yes, complete with candied chillies on top).

Lagud (Strawberry beer) at Baguio Craft Brewery

Baguio’s first craft brewery offers a variety of flavors that will keep both the curious and the avid craft beer fan on their toes. Try the distinct flavor of the strawberry beer,Lagud, which is highly recommended with the buffalo wings.

Other beer variants are, among others, Kabunyan (Wheat Beer), Dalo (Brown Ale), Kraken (Baltic Porter), Ripe (Passion Fruit Beer), Englishman in New York (American Pale Ale), Message in a Bottle (India Pale Ale).

Homemade green tea ice cream at Chaya

Japanese restaurant Chaya serves rich, authentic Japanese fare, from fresh tuna and salmon sashimi, to crisp vegetable and seafood tempura. But it is their homemade green tea ice cream – a small serving of which comes complimentary at the end of every meal – that really takes the cake. Served with red beans and, in the case of the Cream Anmitsu, a generous serving of fruits in season, the green tea ice cream makes for the perfectly refreshing cap to a classic Chaya meal.

Kenon Road

t's a fun road with good sight seeing views. Thrilling zigzag road but not how I expected it to be, probably due to car technology these days. Traffic gets slow when tourists flock Baguio. Be careful when passing here, reckless and show off drivers sprout out of nowhere.

Riding Stable at Wright Park 

It is a great place to exercise jogging, zumbas, or just walk around the area due to the cold weather their

Our Lady Of Antonement Cathedral

Its a beautiful RC church with a nice view of the mountain ranges. Pretty crowded and is surrounded by lots of shops & mall. It has a huge parking space. Lots of plants are on sale in the mall.

Mines View Park

This is one of the must-visit places in Baguio. Back in the day, the view was of the old mines and the breath-taking view of the hills and valleys in Baguio. Now-a-days you see the houses and subdivisions being put up all over that area. The only saving grace I see in this area is the Good Shepard Convent where you can buy excellent strawberry jam. Make sure to buy a lot!

Philippine Military Academy

As an American I found it so interesting that we were allowed to come on campus and observe different practices at the Philippines Military academy. We watched the students marching in formation and being inspected by their superiors. The PMA is the equivalent of our West Point Academy, and where the finest soldiers go for their education. We were able to watch from a covered grand stand at the field.

There is a very nice museum a short walk from the field that gives the history of the Academy, explains military symbols, shows what their dorm rooms look like, how the uniforms have changed over the last 100 years, and explains the history of the academy and some of their heroes.

Burnham Park

The park is a nice place to hang out, during the day or evening. There is a lake where you can rent a boat and row your way around it. There's a bike lane where you can rent a bike and go bike crazy. On one side you can order food and have some local meals. In the evenings there is a night market where you can get lots of stuff on sale

Good Shepherd Convent

this place is a must visit place when going to baguio.Everyone would be expecting pasalubong from Good Shepeherd.They now accept credit cards and have more counter to accommodate costomers

BenCab Museum

        Filipino artist Ben Cab found the culture of northern highlands so       fascinating, he made it his new home and muse since the 80s. The Ben Cab Museum sits on a hillside amidst local communities, fulfilling its purpose of bringing the arts closer to people. The moseum’s wide spaces of glass walls adorned with wooden bul-ul sculptures and contemporary art exhibits...
