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.

Boracay '09 : R & R

Long overdue Bora post. :P Before Summer actually ends.. I just felt that I should get my Bora series of posts over and done with.:) It was my second time in Boracay... and I can honestly say that this was the first time that I actually enjoyed the beach and the sand. :) My first trip there was last year and the itinerary for the whole stay was planned already, so it was mostly activities like ATV, island hopping, snorkeling. This year, it was mostly swimming and sitting around. Complete relaxation. :) The whole group stayed at SUR. A really neat resort located in Station 1. A white building, pretty and cozy huts, nice view and a really nice beach front... *Sigh*.. Take me back? I suddenly miss the sun, sand and free time. CARPE DIEM! I'm out.

Shoot that Target

With all the recent carnapping and non-stop news reports about different types of crimes happening left and right, it's really starting to get scary to live here. But don't get me wrong, I still love Pinas. But we all really should start doing something about this. Be vigilant people. Be alert. Keep safe. With that thought (being alert etc etc) I remember a recent bonding activity I had with my brother and Papa over the holidays. I have a feeling what we did is a pretty unique activity to do on Christmas morning. Guess what we did??? Target shooting! My Papa is a gun-club member for the last 2-3 years, I even had been attending several gunshows for the past years with him. He's an officer of the gunclub of our town in N. Ecija. He's in the process of putting up his own target-shooting range at the back of our house. And that's where we were this past Christmas morning. On our way to the back part of the house. Unfinished target-shooting spot... The bul
