Baguio: Breakfast at the Ruins

Wanting to make it a last day in Baguio kind of tradition, we had breakfast at Cafe by the Ruins.

We walked to its location near the Capitol.  My first observation was that a large building was being constructed right behind the ruins.  The ambiance was being ruined by how fast buildings develop these days in Baguio.  This would include a EuroTel being built nearby!

I didn’t feel like experimenting this time around so I ordered the same thing I tried before which is the Farmer’s Breakfast.

The Farmer’s Breakfast comprises of homemade bacon (from home-cured ham), mountain rice, egg, fruit selection, and your choice of coffee or tea.

Neil ordered the congee with tapa strips.  He decided to put the tapa strips into the soup which made it soft.  Nyek!

We skipped the pastries this time because we didn’t like them to begin with.  The homemade (home-cured ham) bacon is still a winner here.

It’s sad that the ambiance though is being ruined by the construction of tall buildings outside.  Cafe by the Ruins should look for a run-down structure in the woods and turn it into something new.
