Baguio Trip - Forest House (Part 2)

Let the feast begin...


It was cute that their appetizers were called 'Appeteasers'. For each dish in the menu, a description was written below it, which orients you on what to expect from the dish.

Appeteasers:

Calamares Fritos - P145.00
(Deep fried squid rings in tartar sauce)


Tokwa't Bagnet - P205.00
(Crispy fried pork belly with Tofu, Soy sauce)

Homemade Bagnet - P170.00
(Crispy fried pork belly with Papaya chutney)


I was not able to taste the Calamares. The Bagnet dishes were delicious and crispy. The Homemade Bagnet (which was our order) had tomato with bagoong and atchara which both really went well with the crispy pork.

The soups:

They ordered different soups.
Wild Mushroom Soup - P110.00
Bouillabaisse - P95.00
Potato Cheese Chowder - P 90.00



The breadbowls were cute. And the messages/quotes mounted on it were adorable as well. I got to taste the Wild Mushroom soup, it was really thick and tasty. According to my friends, the other soups were tasty and filling as well.

The salad:
3-dip Forest House Special Salad - P 295.00
(Mix of fresh lettuce, crispy cucumber, carrots, turnips with nuts, raisins and cherry tomatoes. Dips: Strawberry dressing, blue cheese, honey vinaigrette)


This salad I highly recommend you try. The vegetables were fresh (Baguio veggies FTW!). And the 3 types of dips were all delicious. You get to make your own wrap, starting with a big leaf of greens then you decide the ingredients you want to pack in.

The main course/s:

Forest House Wine Sauced Chicken - P245.00
(Grilled chicken breast with rich white sauce, mushroom and white wine)


Forest House Back Ribs - P310.00
(Charboiled ribs simmered with their very own barbecue sauce)


We pretty much ordered the same main courses as recommended by the attendant. I think majority of the main courses can be shared by 2 persons. The ribs should be eaten right away though, because it gets cold pretty fast mainly because we were at the veranda and it was extra breezy that night. :)

We ordered a bottle of wine as well, it just suited the ambiance and the food.


The dessert entry shall follow... ;D

CARPE DIEM!
I'm out.

Ba-Bye Ate

Today was quite a sad day for our family. For a very close-knit family, goodbyes are really extra difficult to say . Especially if the one leaving will be miles and seas away. My Ate (with her husband) left this morning for the US. They'll be starting their new life there. She already has work so I don't need to worry about that anyway, and I'm sure that she'll definitely do well. My parents were really sad... maybe it's the thought of being "away" from her. Tipong you have to hop on a plane pa just to be able to get to her. The whole family has US visa naman , we can go there anytime (as long as we have the money I guess :p) Yes, I cried a lot as well... and I guess it's because of all the bilins I got from her. The one that stuck the most " Ikaw na bahala dito ha.. Alagaan mo sila Mama and Papa. Si Ivan ha... Wag mo silang pabayaan. " My nephew on the other hand was a different story... he was eager to go home already when we got to NAIA. ...

Commitmentphobe No More

Look... check out who finally commits. :) I've read about this in my friend's blog sometime last week. (Hi Carla ! Thanks for sharing). My initial reaction... "WHY VERONICA?!?" I was such a Betty fan. Oh well... So I've read more about the article just this morning and here's part of it.. “People who vote for Veronica-Archie are the idealists, the people who say, ‘I'm voting for the glitz, the glamour, the high energy, the sexiness, the ideal [and] they might not even care so much that it'll only last five years,'” says the Toronto-based registered family, marriage and sex therapist. Those who yearn to see Archie and Betty get hitched take a more realistic, traditional view, she says. They're more grounded, are thinking long term and have more of a sense of “for always and forever.” The way the girlfriends each relate to Archie sheds a lot of light on their character. Betty allows Archie to push her aside, a sign she'd make a submissive...

Suuuuuungka!

Who knows how to play Sungka? What's Sungka you may be thinking? Well, let's allow good old Wiki to define it for us... Congkak (pronounced [tʃoŋkaʔ] ) is a mancala game played in the island of Borneo , Singapore , and Peninsular Malaysia . Minor variants are known as Tchonka, Naranj, Dakon or Sungka and are played in Indonesia (mostly Java ), Sri Lanka , the Maldives , southern Thailand , the Philippines and the Marianas . In Indonesia, it is called "Congklak" meaning cowrie shells, which are often used as pieces. On the island of Java, it is called "Dakon" and little red seeds are used as pieces. In the Philippines it is called "Sungka" and shells are used as pieces. Congkak is believed to originate from the word ‘congak’ which in old Malay Language means count. When we were in Boracay last April, this game was played during our free time. I love playing it! Especially if my opponent's Arvic because I pretty much win all the time. Haha...
