Calamansi Muffin- Real Goodness

My obsession to sour sweet pastry started when my ex craved a hot coffee after a disappointing water activity right smack at the middle of Boracay under the sweltering summer heat. 

Obviously Starbucks was our first choice but thank goodness for our keen sense of misdirection we ended up with Real coffee.

I am not a fan of blueberry so I ditch that overrated bitch muffin and opt to try something else. The owner, I assume, recommended calamansi muffin. After my first bite it was like sex. Utterly addicting and equally exciting in every single bite. 

My love affair with sour sweet hot and sometimes savory pastries grew from sour dough to lemon bar. 

This calamansi muffin consume me like hell. It is "siksik" one muffin can make one full snack. Fresh out of the oven or refrigerated for at least 2-3 days are fine and still amazingly satisfying. Not too sour not, not too sweet and definitely not bland. The aroma of these babies are so calming that it always remind me of good old days.

Good Taste Cafe and Restaurant- Unbelievably affordable good eats.

Thanks to SCTEX and TPLEX we arrived in Baguio at lease 3 hours earlier than our normal drive. Normally, for dinner in Baguio it is either we eat in SM (which all of the restaurants in it you can see in almost all SM in Metro Manila) or take out food from then again any crappy fast food that you can see in every corners in Metro Manila.

Then I saw this Good Taste restaurant that keeps on popping in my Google search. When I spotted their signage near our hotel, I immediately recommended it to my mom and she reluctantly said OK. It was like a battle between Good Taste and Gilligans or Jollibee thank God mom agreed.

The place is not intimidating. However, it is freaking 4 floor restaurant and its crowded. Some floors were reserved for functions or events, of course, but still 4 floors! Damn. It has this feeling of those old big restaurants in Binondo. It was packed and I was glad we were seated immediately.

Our server was kind enough to suggest their best sellers. As soon as he mentioned crispy pata my mom face elated. She loves pork, anything pork will do like Carry Bradshaw loves shoes. Hahaha.

CRISPY PATA

It was huge. Fit for a pulutan or to feed a family of four. Lacks flavor though. It tasted like good old lazy fried pork legs that's all. BLAH!

CHOPSUEY

My dads choice because he is kinda health conscious like that. We regret ordering it. Lacks flavor, poorly plated and unforgiving. They ruined the freshness of the veggies. Poor broccoli.

SWEET AND SOUR FISH FILLET

This was our choice, my bother and I. After being disappointed again on how bland their sweet and sour fish fillet was, we wondered if their buttered chicken is any good. Ummm.

Then again I am glad we tried Good Taste. Though the food lacks flavor, the place is warm and welcoming. Our dining experience was a delight because we are all in a good mood. The staff were friendly and did I mention the price is insanely cheap. Check out their menu below.

I wish I could relive days like this forever. Having a complete happy family truly is priceless. 😍 #thankful
