50's Diner

If you happen to be in Baguio, head off to Leonard Wood Road (that's near the junction on the way to Camp John Hay or Baguio Country Club) and look for a place called 50's Diner. My mother did some research on where to eat and this unassuming restaurant was part of the list. Basically, it's a diner diner with neon lights and waitresses sporting pink-and-white uniforms.

Yes, we are hungreeh.

We all ordered the same thing, the tenderloin steak meal. It had a soup, a salad, the main course, and dessert. To complete the whole diner "feel," we ordered ice cream shakes. Woo!



The bread was really good. I noticed that Baguio serves good bread. (We bought cheese bread in Baguio Country Club and it was fantastic.)



La Trinidad, the "salad bowl of the Philippines," is just next to Baguio so the veggies are really good. I particularly love tomatoes.



Ice cream shakes. Had vanilla. It's the most forgiving flavor, I think. Sweets make me dizzy. Mama's head looks funny 'cause it's right on top of the strawberry shake. She is a dairy product!



What better place to eat Baguio Beans. Hello, meat.



Okay, done. Vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of strawberry goo and a wafer stick.
