Sideline 2: Baguio Food Crawler (2nd Stop)

(Continuation)

HR duties led me to the Summer Capital of the Philippines, Baguio City last April 24, 2015. After accomplishing my HR mission, I had an ample time for a quick sideline: Food Crawler :)

2nd Stop: CAFÉ BY THE RUINS

 
Not all ruined things are eye sores i.e. Cafe by the Ruins
I’ve been in Baguio for around ten times already but never had the chance to visit this famous coffee shop. So I grabbed my free time to check out this place. 

The name of the shop accurately captures the overall feel on this restaurant. Ruined in a positive way. Remnants of CHBs of the old structure are visible. Dilapidated wood accents are scattered all around the restaurant. This place reminded me that not all ruined things are distasteful.

There is a gigantic mural artwork facing the entrance of the restaurant that strengthened the artsy feel inside the restaurant. There are two floor levels where guests could stay. Over all, the area is small but nonetheless  intimate: perfect for romantic getaways <3

Cafe by the Ruins is a sure hit for the foodies + art lovers. Look at that masterpiece!
Actually, I went here just to try the best selling Ruin’s Coffee. I did not order any meal. Just the coffee. And it was worth the visit.


1. Ruin’s Coffee: Served with white tira tira (sweetener), this strong coffee is a must try. But I do not recommend this to sideliners who have low tolerance for caffeine as you might feel some palpitations after finishing a cup. Yes, it is that strong that you might need to dilute it with additional hot water to neutralize its "kick". 

First sip of this coffee and I already loved it. It's consistency is thick and viscous. And there's a perfect balance of bitter and sweet. And the aroma: invigorating.


Ruin's Coffee for 85php only
You can also add muscovado sugar on your Ruin's Coffee as  your taste buds please.


More muscovado sugar!
Now I know the reason why the Ruin's Coffee is one of the sought after coffee in Baguio. Visit Cafe by the Ruins!

Chilling cheers from Baguio,
Vhie
PS: I will be posting the remaining three (3) restaurant stops I visited as a food crawler in a few days :)

Sideline 1: Novice Blogger

Looking back at my early school years, I was not the talker type of kid in class. Speaking has not been my preferred way of communication. I wasn’t really comfortable with talking to people outside my kin. But writing was my comfort zone.  Writing was congenital. I am not referring to technical writing or prose / poem writing. But the kind of writing that let one soul communicates a heart's desires (or detestations). The kind of writing that let one mind speak without uttering a single word. The kind of writing that has not been conditioned by social norms nor brought by child rearing. That kind of writing has been a part of me since I've learned to hold a pen. That kind of writing I consider a gift from God.  Writing has witnessed my metamorphosis as a student: from writing the alphabet during pre-school years (it was a challenge to write K that time) to writing feasibility projects in college (it was a challenge to write an OK investigatory project that t...
