Coming from the marketplace in Baguio, you \u2013 basically \u2013 just walk along Session Road, <em>lampas ng<\/em> SM Baguio and The Baguio Cathedral of Our Lady of the Atonement. It could be tedious particularly for the non-fans of walking (reminds you of the hilly roads of San Francisco), but\u2026 you can just consider this as your exercise, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Ikalawa<\/em>, the actual place is okay <em>naman<\/em>. The place, which combines two venues \u2013 Tsokolateria and Pamana \u2013 is non-airconditioned yet well-ventilated, with lots of seating available. There are elements that may not be to everyone\u2019s liking \u2013 e.g. those scary statues in front of the restaurant (particularly the ones seating on the stairs, which could be mistaken for real people), as well as those cheap-looking plastic plants hanging on the ceiling of the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Ikatlo<\/em>, the workers were okay <em>naman<\/em>. They were able to explain what\u2019s on the menus (and how Tsokolateria differed from Pamana), and they weren\u2019t intrusive at all (they let you be, as needed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Ika-apat<\/em>, how was the food?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Adobo Overload (chicken adobo topped with roasted cacao garlic and crispy adobo flakes, \u20b1535) was not <em>maalat<\/em>\/salty, and so okay. But \u2013 even with the add-on well-seasoned veggies as side dish, as well as the black rice \u2013 you really don\u2019t get much. So you\u2019re basically paying for a deconstructed version of <em>adobosilog<\/em> for over \u20b1500.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The House Waffle, Bacon Belly Arugula &amp; Eggs (\u20b1485) was interesting \u2013 e.g. the waffles were fried (this one\u2019s yummy); those cherry tomatoes were fresh (another plus); the eggs, although small, were well done; and that meat was\u2026 bagnet-like.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t get us wrong: This place is not bad at all. But \u2013 considering its asking prices \u2013 it\u2019s not great, either. This is an okay-to-consider venue if you\u2019re willing to cough up more than you should, more than is deserved so you can try food repackaged to be artsy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try <em>lang<\/em>\u2026 or discover others\u2026 as we do as we search for more <em>lafangan<\/em> venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Tsokolateria Artisanal Caf\u00e9 is located at Igorot Stairs, Upper Session Rd., Baguio City.
