Today marks www.findgoodBaguiofoods.com‘s 10th year. ^^,
(That’s including the two years of COVID pandemic which I said I wouldn’t count since “I didn’t use” these years, all that while focusing mainly on posts of lockdown/house arrest eats and eatsploring via delivery on this blog’s Facebook page. =] )
10 years … With almost 500 blogposts, possibly thousands of photos in my archive of a myriad of dishes that my foodie lovies and I enjoyed at different restos, some that have come and already gone; I think the time has come to give this online diary hobby of mine a rest and go back to eating ..read more

No, I don’t mean I escaped from quarantine, silly. *hihi
The setting: Flower Cafe ^^,
Never was in quarantine/isolation … Well, other than self imposed. *tahaha (I do enjoy my own company and my personal daily ♪ ♫ ‘to the window, to the wall’ ♫ house tours. )
Whoa, the first foodievent I’ve been to since pandemic started; the last one seems so long ago. I am grateful it’s just a few minutes away from home base, I don’t have to travel far for food = The Flower Cafe PH‘s new location, across from SLU Main’s Gate 2. =D

Welcome me back, foodie friends … =b
Reggie’s Takeaway: Cassava cake, mechado, chicken asado, and laing. (“,)

Here I am again, marveling at how time flew by and it’s actually a new year. Are you marveling along with me? *wink I hope 2022 started off well for you all and that it’s still going well while we’re speeding through to the end of January now. Happy New Year! And just in case I don’t see you, Happy Chinese New Year, too. =)

This should’ve been for posting back in August or September, you see. I’ve lost my train of thought with so many things happening between those months and now. Sure, we’ve been freer to move already then but I stuck to taumbahay moves and really career-ed it. And this is a feature on the food that came to us. =)
Cue Etta James: At laaaaast! ♪ ♫

What’s in the bag(s) I received in February?
What’s in the bag? (“,)
(Second attempt at using WordPress’ newest interface. I have found a work around – Compose some here and then all further revisions to the post, I’ll do on the Classic Editor. Yes, I found the button that shifts me to the old interface. Thank, heavens.
On with the feature!)
The bag contains a set meal from the budding chefs at Ausphin International Institute. (These batches of students would have graduated by now. We wish them well. <3) It’s to fulfill a school project called ‘Pinas Sarap’ which has the goal of ..read more

Here I am thinking this is the day that I’ll try to get back on the blog post writing horse …
A section of my desktop today ^^,
(Really try hard since so far there are so many amusing things to see and do and post composing does take a lot of time and I’m still not up for it. =b) by writing a short post, a photo blog post at least about an entirely different Quarantine Surprise experience I had last February and at sign on at WordPress, everything, as in everything looks so different. (I have the same Scream expression on my face now as with the otter photo on my screen.)
In my last posts, I s ..read more

The world is still on quarantine. [Ahh, what a resilient virus COVID is … May we take a cue from this highly adaptive unseen enemy please, and tap into all the resilience we can muster, too? Vaccine or no vaccine, it starts with the simple proper practice of wearing face masks and face shields. (It’s 2021, and it’s still not instilled in many of us. What is this weari ..read more

So we’re heading full speed into the holidays.
It’s Christmas week already … but before we get to celebratory eats, I’d just like to put my tribute video to all the restos/food providers that delivered sustenance to us throughout the whole duration of quarantine (so far =b Still keeping my fingers crossed, this will end the soonest) here. Just a quick post, really.
I got them listed out below too … because whatever they serve, can easily be dishes for your Christmas table and New Year spread. =) Do get in touch with them on their Facebook pages.
