Girls Night, We Wish

Sometime this month, I met up with my friends for dinner.  After procrastinating on where to eat as Baguio has so many choices (this is me being sarcastic), we ended up in Picarre, a simple but reasonably-priced cafe in SM Baguio.  They have a branch in Porta Vaga, which was the first one I think, but SM's the most convenient place to meet up in Baguio.  

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take pictures of our food since we were quite hungry and only remembered to take shots after we've devoured them.  But let me introduce my friends instead. =)

This is Jaja.  She hates me for getting stolen shots of her, which is hard cause she always poses.

Julie and Nessa, the bestfriends.

This is where Nessa fed Julie her lipstick.
 For dessert, we had yogurt in The White Hat, which is the only yogurt place in SM Baguio if you don't count Teriyaki Boy. LOL.


I barely get to see this particular group of friends.  We've always been the type to just have dinner and it will end there.  Never like the cliche "Girls Night Out" where we go drinking and such.  

Hopefully, our plans of vacationing abroad would push through so we really have something to look forward to. =)

FTW (always) goes to O Mai Khan

Hi there!  Long time no blog.  Aside from the stressful quota I have to meet, my brother was 24/7 on the desktop, maximizing all the time he has before school starts.  I'm not really as comfortable blogging in my laptop, since most photos I have are at the desktop.  Anyway, I'm back. :)

If you're from Baguio, it would be a surprise if you don't know of O Mai Khan.  Baguio has a few "tourist go-to's" when it comes to food.  But I think O Mai Khan's one that my family (or as I've observed people from Baguio in general) actually like; thus the "always" in the title.  It used to be a quaint little restaurant near Burnham, which I think had more charm for me.  Now, they've transferred to a bigger and more accessible spot near SM and Victory Liner.


I usually go for their Mongolian buffet or the "Ag-luto Khan Special", which are, if I'm not mistaken, pan grilled shrimps with lemon butter sauce.  Some of their food and the restaurant's name too is spelled in a "Mongolian" way, but when pronounced it actually means something in Ilokano (I.e. O Mai Khan, when said would sound like "Oh, come". Imagine one gesturing you to join them to eat... Something like that. LOL.)  Their a la carte food items are bountiful in servings too; so you get your money's worth.


My absolute favorite dessert has got to be their Calamansi cream pie.  It isn't sour at all.  It removes that after taste you get or in a better way to call it, "suya", you get from the main course.  Their lemon cheese cake's great too.


I don't think I have much pictures of the restaurant itself but here's a bit of a preview for the restaurant's interiors with me in it. LOL.  Its nothing fancy. Its pretty simple actually.  White table cloths, wait staff in aprons and hair nets (not really that appealing to me, but better safe and clean), and pictures of their food hung on their walls.  Still, they're full most of the time so its better to make a reservation.  Parking's quite crazy too. LOL.  


O Mai Khan's great! In a month, our family dines twice or thrice.  Hopefully, you can try the restaurant soon if you haven't. :)
