The Forest Lodge at Camp John Hay (Baguio City)

Location: Located along Orodonio Drive inside Camp John Hay. The Forest Lodge is beside the Manor and in front of the Mile Hi Center.


Driveway to the Lodge



Check In: It was fast and efficient. We were at the Lodge earlier than Check In but we were already allowed inside the room.

Room: The room was Spacious and Carpeted. (The Staff Member upon Check Out said that rooms at the Forest Lodge were even bigger than the Manor) It had 2 Queen Beds with very comfortable mattresses and equally comfortable pillows. It had an Armchair with a Coffee Table. A Writing desk. a 32" Cable TV with DVD. A Mini Kitchen with a Mini Ref, Electric Kettle. and the part where i liked the most the Vanity Desk located infront of the Bathroom which was hidden from View. The Room also had a Big Balcony. There is also a Cabinet located beside the bathroom and there is a safe inside the Cabinet. 

Deluxe Room with Balcony
The Vanity Desk which is hidden from View from the Bedroom, Located in front of the Bathroom. I used it as a Work Desk. Outlets available.


Bathroom: Spacious too. the Bathroom had an Enclosed Shower. It had a Rain-shower with hot and cold water (Water Temperature maybe a bit tricky to control so proceed with caution). The Toilet had a Bidet. Dental Kit, Shampoo with Conditioner and Lotion were also provided.



Food: We never ate at the Lodge but from reviews i read it was good. Breakfast buffet can be availed at 450 for adults and 250 for kids.

Staff: The Staff at the Lodge are very friendly and courteous. 

 Check Out: Check Out was fast and efficient. the Staff Member, Joseph even asked me about our stay and to which i answered that we enjoyed our stay at the lodge.

 Overall: A Better and Cheaper Alternative to the Manor.

 Note: Request for a room at the 3rd or 4th floor as rooms on the 2nd can experience added noise coming from the Lobby and from the Kitchen which is located on the 2nd floor. Drivers Quarters are available on a 1st come 1st served basis so reserve a place ahead of time.

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)

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.
