Ocha Asian Cuisine

Ocha {โอชา} is a Thai word that means Yummy. Ocha, found along the food strip in Session Road offers the best of Asian Cuisine, ranging from Thai, Indonesian, Malaysian and Vietnamese cuisine. I am not fond of spicy food and I know for a fact that one of the highlights of these types of cuisines is that everything is spicy. Even their version of curry is just too hot for my palate to handle, however, I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun I’ve had during this specific food adventure, and although the food was spicy, they were able to tone down the spicy level of the food when I asked them to.:)

Where to Eat in Baguio City?

June 4, 2013 in Dining Out, Food Adventures, Foodie Thoughts, Restaurants, Reviews, Where to Eat in Baguio?

Where to eat? or Where to eat in Baguio City? {the latter is more precise for friends who are from out of town.} is a question I get asked a lot by people, both friends and family, sometimes even strangers, from here or from out of town, just because they catch a whiff that I am a food blogger, like that makes me an authority on the best places to eat, which is great;), but can be kind of stressful.@-)

They expect me to know which restaurants are worth trying out RIGHT NOW or which ones can wait. Oh my gosh the pressure!@-) I feel obliged to make a good suggestion because like them, I don’t ever want a meal to be unsatisfying or disappointing, AND I don’t want them to have a bad experience based on my suggestion.[-X

So I take my reviews seriously, taking into consideration not just what my readers want to know about a place but also being considerate enough to the restaurant’s owners and its staff as well. There is no such thing as perfect, and there is always room for improvement, so please keep that in mind when you read my reviews.;)

Anyway, I’ve decided to make a list of places in Baguio City that I have dined in as well as the places I have yet to try. Places that I’ve tried will have a strikethrough and will be linked to its review post. I will update this post as often as necessary, adding and marking the ones that I’ve already been to.

Why I’m A FOODIE and You’re NOT

June 2, 2013 in Foodie Thoughts, Stroke of Luck, Where to Eat in Baguio?

So, WHY AM I A FOODIE AND YOU’RE NOT? Read on to find out, at the end of this article, I hope you can also call yourself a FOODIE and not just calling yourself one just because you happen to have a blog about food. *This is not a post that is meant for you, but if you feel irked by it, then maybe it’s time to reflect about why you’re feeling that way about this. As they say, “if the shoe fits…”*

I started this food blog not because I wanted to make money out of it, or because I wanted to be invited to eat at restaurants for free. I started blogging about the places I’ve been to and the food that I eat and turned it into a form of informal review because I wanted people who are not from Baguio City to dine and experience Baguio not just for the scenes and the pine trees but for the numerous Baguio based, Baguio original and Baguio owned restaurants in the city. Most tourists are usually on a time constrained stay in Baguio, so I made this blog so they can try out the best of the best of Baguio restaurants and ensure that they have a satisfying {also unforgattable} dining experience.

I’ve never claimed to be a food critic. I write about the places that I think tourists MUST GO TO, the ones that they should absolutely must not leave Baguio without visiting, CHECK OUT if they have time to spare, TRY OUT if they are feeling adventurous and TAKE A RISK if they are willing to prove me wrong.

I am a foodie, what makes me one is that I will eat EVERYTHING at least once as long as it is edible. I think that you cannot call yourself a FOODIE if you won’t eat certain things or if you won’t at least try something new once in a while, and by new, I don’t mean something on the menu, like a twist to a favorite dish or something, but new in the sense that something taboo, not something that you would normally eat on a daily basis.
