Day TWO in Baguio – Good Sheperd & Mines view park

After our brunch, we went to Mines view park and Good Sheperd’s convent. We parked our cars near Mines view and walked our way up to the convent to buy our favorite Ube Jam Php 180/bottle medium size (now with sugar free available – Php 180/bottle sweetened with Isomalt), Peanut Brittle Php 125/bottle, and Chocolate Crinkles – Php 120/bottle.

But this small snack bar right infront of their specialty store caught our attention. We tried their strawberry juice (Php 15/cup) which was actually good — not your usual ready mix and strawberry gelato (Php 15/cup) was yummy — although the base tasted more of whip cream than ice cream.

Day TWO in Baguio – Cafe by the Ruins

We started our day with a hearty brunch at Cafe by the Ruins. This Cafe serves good food and nice ambience. However, their menu is not as friendly on a budgeted traveller. But, don’t frown because we have some barat tips for you…

When we asked our server regarding their serving size, he informed us that it’s only good for 1 person. So we ordered individually, but when the food came out we were so overwhelmed with their serving size. It is actually good for 1-2 persons depending on ones appetite, in short they have big serving size.
