More Baguio Pictures and Isdaan in Gerona, Tarlac

Just have a few more Baguio pictures to share. On our last day in Baguio, we had breakfast at Cafe by the Ruins. You really shouldn't miss the camote bread that they serve over there. I found it delicious, smudged with a bit of butter & strawberry jam. Of course, I had to take home a few rolls. The funny thing though, it tasted mighty better up there in cool Baguio than down here in hot Manila. Ha-hahaha...ambience certainly makes a whole lot of differece!! And to my idol BJ, here's the corn-on-a-cob with extra butter and a sprinkling of salt. Yummy!!!!


Alas, all good things come to an end and it was time to get back home. For lunch (a very late one at 2pm), we ate at Isdaan restaurant which served great food plus so much more. It is located in Gerona, Tarlac, almost halfpoint between Baguio & Manila. You won't miss the place since it's right along the highway and has an army of huge, kitschy stone statues all over the entrance.

We were quite surprised to see the place still full at 2 p.m. The eating area actually sits atop huge fish ponds and while waiting for the food to be served, the kids were given fish food and were allowed to feed the gorgeous carpa swimming around the ponds. At the end of a very pleasant meal, the kids smashed a few mugs at the Tacsiyapo wall. Yes, as in smash it to bits and pieces. Great way to let off steam??? Well, why don't you try it out?

Hi Maybs! Wow, looks like a fun trip! Thanks for sharing the lovely pics. Last time I was in Baguio was 2 years ago (while typhoon Reming was wreaking havoc in Bicol). We also had lunch at Isdaan but I didn't know about smashing plates and stuff then. I should try that next time. :)

It's worth a try the Tacsiyapo Wall, Alby! Try it the next time you get there! Thanks!

ang sarap mag basag sa tacsiyapo no. 2 yrs ago, they were adding new spaces sa Isdaan. I wanted to try the challenges pa nga nila kaso, Zid is just a year old then. Last year naman, di kami dumaan ng tarlac coming from Baguio. We found a short cut kaya super iwas kami sa traffic.

Looks like you had a lot of fun. :-) My family has a farm very near Isdaan, and when I was growing up, my parents would wash my mouth with soap mouth whenever they heard me utter tacsiyapo. :-)
