Baguio Public Market. The final call.

First thing Anthony Bourdain does wherever he goes is to visit the market. Likes to experience the sights, the sounds, the excitement. Sadly, he never had the chance to visit Baguio market. He would have enjoyed it. Tourists do. But residents? Been there done that.

50’s Diner. Typical American.

My first favorite Baguio resto. Until I discovered Good Taste. And then Teahouse. Luisa's. Vizco's. Slaughterhouse. Etc. Every week. "Sarap ng buhay, Sana ganito nalang lagi ha?" Until a virus came and they all closed down. Bummer.
