My childhood memories of Baguio are Burnham Park, Mines View Park, Camp John Hay and Wright Park. But when we, together with my office mates, went there last Labor Day weekend, I realized, Baguio can be also a summer destination for foodies. There are a lot of restaurants which offers great food and sometimes, with a Baguio twist. One food place we visited to have lunch is Canto Bogchi Joint located at Ketchup Food Community just across Wright Park.
First impression, the place is very cozy and not cramped. Perfect for hungry tourists enjoying the cool Baguio weather.
We chose to sit at the balcony area overlooking the vacant space shaded by pine trees outside which I think is reserved for events.
Giving in to the pangs of hunger, we ordered their best seller Lomo Ribs with salad and mashed potatoes. For 150 pesos, this one of the best barbecue ribs we have ever tried. The meat is flavorful, tender and can easily be separated from the bone. The salad, with the sweetness of strawberries, complements the smoky barbecue ribs.
My other office mate ordered Fish Steak with mango salsa since she doesn’t eat pork. I really can’t say much about the fish steak because I haven’t tried it but from the looks of it, I bet this also tastes good.
Together with mason jars of lychee shake, we enjoyed every single bite of the sumptuous meals served to us. With the ambiance, value for money and the experience I had, I would definitely return and dine at Canto Bogchi Joint when I visit Baguio again.
