Good Taste: The Best Restaurant of Baguio city

Have you ever gone to a restaurant where in you have to wait for tables to be vacated hoping it will be reserve for you?

Well, I hear you say you did, and I believe you because it happens many times in many small restaurants and eating places. How about if the place is two story building and can accommodate about 2000 people in one time eating aside from those people waiting for their orders to bring home?

Here in our place, Baguio City, there is a restaurant where in people line up to wait for their turn to have table when the first customers finished eating.

I remember the restaurant as a small café and restaurant with just about 5-10 tables accommodating only about 40 or less people at the same time. Then when I came back from abroad as an OFW, I was amazed to learn that the restaurant is now a well-known restaurant.

It is known for its not so expensive foods and is very family friendly that your few hundreds of pesos can feed your whole family with a number of 10 and can still have some left overs to be brought home. While in other restaurants, the same number of family members will need more than a thousand pesos to be fed well, and nothing is left but only the bones.



That is why today, when there are 4 or more people of us, we go to Good Taste Restaurant to have our meal. I love their “lechon beans” which is pork and beans’ fruits, and “Ginataang hito” which is cooked with coconut milk and mudfish. My children love the buttered chicken so much they don’t miss it each time we go to eat there.

So, if you’re a tourist, foreigner or from other parts of the country, Philippines, who is planning to visit the summer capital of the Philippines which is Baguio city, then I suggest this restaurant if you want to eat outside. The old One is found at the back of Center Mall next to the Dangwa station and the new other one is found near Burnham Park – a very spacious three story building. I believe there is no taxi driver who does not know the place, and one can ask anyone on the streets to point to them the way to reach the place.

There are also other good restaurants around and at the center of the city but nothing can come near to the satisfaction one gets eating at Good Taste.

Burnham Park 2013 Christmas

I went to MLhuillier Legarda street this evening to send some money to people my friends from abroad wanted to send their remittances. And since there was no customers ahead of me, I finished my business in less than ten minutes.

 From there, I walked to go back to Harrison road while thinking what to do next – should I go to Tiongsan Harrison to buy some groceries or go straight to Diego Silang where my ride home are waiting for their passengers.

But, when I reach Burnham Park I was fascinated to see a corner whereby many people are happy taking pictures. Their backgrounds are the Christmas light decorations made by the city to light the place and let people feel the spirit of Christmas. I saw parents with their children, teenagers with their friends, and of course somelovers enjoying with awe how the place is lighted. As usual, they are taking pictures of themselves for, I am sure, display it on facebook.

Well, my curiosity and the child side of me lorded over and push my feet to go near the lights and - not to be outdone, take images. The truth is I needed fresh pictures to share to the internet, too, but not in FaceBook but to FanBox where every view of my fans and friends can earn me some dollars in 24 hours.

Here are some of the images I captured – not so many because I forgot to bring with me my canon camera so I had to use my Samsung cellphone which was giving me signal it was low on battery after a few shots.

This was the first scene I saw that mesmerized me

This star is blinking beautifully

People are gathering near the those small houses to take pictures of themselves or their kids

This one attracted many children to pose in front of it, so, I had to wait and rushed to take its image

That looks like Candy man

Those are the deers of Santa

Santa clause stands up next to the Candy house

I guess this must called Candy House

Extension of the lights

A star has fallen

There alsi lights around those pots of flowers

People going away after they got pictures

That's Santa Claus

Santa and his deers

An Angel blowing his trumpet

Another Santa is greeting people going into the boating area

On the right side of Santa Claus is an angel blowing his horn

The lake with SM background on the far behind the other light

On the right side of Burnham park

As you gets nearer, the building is well decorated around its body with lights
