Baguio Business Trip

Yesterday, we went to Baguio City to finalize the Sale of my Nanay's property at Military Cut Off. We were in Baguio before 8Am. Since City Hall was still closed, we went to Cafe By the Ruins for Breakfast. We ordered the Bangus (which tasted and looked like it was already old) the longanisa and another breakfast plate. The only thing which I enjoyed was the fresh fruits and the Sweet Sugar Candy they serve with the Tea. After the not so satisfying Breakfast we went to Baguio City Hall. I went to the Register of Deeds to get a copy of the Title's Certified True Copy. While waiting for the release of the Certified TCT i went to the Real Estate Division to pay the Real Estate Taxes for the year and secure a Certificate of Non Delinquency. I went back to the RD, but they said that it would take 3-5 Dayd for the release of the Certified True Copy of the TCT since it would come from Manila. But they gave me a Certified Copy which they said will do for the meantime. After I went to BIR Baguio to pay the Capital Gains Taxes of the Property. After filling up the forms, they told me to go to LandBank and to deposit the CGT to their Account. So off to Landbank, but when i arrived at LandBank, the Security Guard told me they only accept BIR payments from 8-10!! It was already 11 so I was in a situation since we would not be staying overnight. So I called up the buyer and told him if it was okay that he would be the one who will go to LandBank, he said it was Okay, so that solves it. Our meeting was at 4PM at the Baguio Country Club, there was still 5 hours to go so we decided to go around and do some sightseeing.

I had always wanted to visit the BenCab Musuem, and this was the perfect time. So to BenCab Museum then. The Museum is around 30 Minutes away. And when you arrive at the entrance you will not think that inside it was HUGE! The property where the Museum stands is BIG. The Museum is around 4 Stories high and the galleries are big. It is a World Class Museum that should be patronized not just by Art Lovers but by everyone. Outside the museum is a Landscape that will Wow you. Across the Museum is where Ben Cab lives. I spotted him there, and he was with some guests.


Some of BenCab's Bulol Collection, there are still more

After BenCab, we went to Ritto's for Lunch. Food took something like forever to arrive, so by the time food arrived we were super hungry. Their Bulalo is nice.

After Ritto's. We proceeded to the Good Shepherd convent to buy some Ube Jam. Then it was off to the Baguio Country Club to meet with Dr C. My sister bought Raisin Bread from the Bake Shop of the BCC. It is much raved about by others. It was just 3PM, but I already informed Dr C that we were there. My Nanay already wanted to go home and she did not want to go out of the Car anymore, So she told me that i just meet Dr C. Got a Text Message from Dr C to meet him at the lobby of the BCC, and to bring my Nanay too since she will be signing something.

We arrived at the Lobby and Dr C called me. After few minutes, talking, signing of papers, the deal was sealed and a Check was handed to my Nanay. Finally, after years the property was settled.

Aling Pining's Crispy Pata (La Loma, Quezon City)

Image
One of Metro Manila's BEST Crispy Pata can be found in a Garage. I found about Aling Pining's Crispy Pata in a FB Comment a few months ago. The Commenter just said the best Crispy Pata can be found in a Garage in Halcon Street in La Loma. With Just Halcon Street as the address we went to La Loma 2 weeks ago in search of Halcon Street Crispy Pata. When we arrived at Halcon Street we just asked the people there where we can buy Crispy Pata. We passed by it already it turned out. It was indeed just a garage. It had a small sign. Halcon Street Crispy Pata was Aling Pinings Crispy Pata.  An Old Lady was the one frying the Crispy Pata. While a middle aged woman  was the one accepting orders. We bought a Crispy Pata (P400) and we were on our way. At home we were eager to finally taste the Crispy Pata. It did not disappoint. The trip to La Loma was worth it. Is it the best? My mom said the one in Marinduque is still the best. For me? Well i need to go back t...

D' Original Matutina's Seafood Restaurant (Dagupan, Pangasinan)

Image
The first time I heard about Matutina's was a few years ago when it was mentioned in the Inquirer that it is a favorite Restaurant of Former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Since it was a long drive just to sample their food I had a hard time adjusting an open schedule just to go all the way to Pangasinan.  This morning we were able to finally find time to go all the way to Dagupan, Pangasinan to sample Matutina's. The one we went to is the D'Original Matutina's in Tondaligan, Dagupan, Pangasinan. They have another branch in Urdaneta Also. There is a Matutina's in Tarlac City but i guess this is not connected with the Matutina's. We Ordered the following: Sizzling Bangus - This was just Delicious. The Bangus was Milky. Meat was just perfect.  Inihaw na Pusit - Grilled to perfection. The Squid was tender. Buttered Shrimps - though it was not the buttter shrimp i wished for, the freshness of the shrimps made it good enough ...

If you are craving for Palabok and Tokwa't Baboy, the best place to go to is Tita Lulu's.  They serve delicious Palabok at Tita Lulu's (Located in front of PureGold Agora, inside the big parking lot). Always say you want the thin noodles when you order Palabok as it is better. The Tokwa't Baboy is equally delicious. Never forget to buy the palabok and tokwa't baboy together as they complement each other.
