Hello guys! How are you? I just wanna share to you one of our favorite restaurants this few weeks ago! A Chinese Restaurant called "Hap Chan"! Hap is the Chinese word for "to put together or bundle in one group". Chan is Chinese word for "place". Hap Chan defeated our previous number one Chinese food hot spot - ManHann... For the reasons you'll understand just soon enough. lol (Of course, Chowking is number one on a different list, if you know what I mean... hehe)
Here are my eating buddies also known as my family...
This was the first time we tried this Korean-Japanese Restaurant when we were about to leave the city! I never thought or saw this place for the passed 8 years of my stay in Baguio, but maybe because I don't go out that much? Hence its fit for me to say its "hidden". But it really is not, turn corner along Session Road and its there waiving hi and bowing its head - Asian style!
Tita Nida cooking up our Shabu-Shabu! ASide from noodles and veggies, it has chicken meat, beef strips, pork and several seafood like shrimps, crab-stick and fish fillets.
I also love the unlimited appetizers! It comes with deep fried sweet potatoes, spicy kimchi, fresh sliced cucumber and my favorite tortang (deep fried, covered in battered egg) zukini!
The California Maki is so yummy and the wasabe gave me the nose-freeze! Hahaha (inside joke, anyone?)
All in all, its yummy and affordable! The place is clean and spacious too!
Have you seen this "hidden" restaurant before? Don't forget to drop by when you are planning to go to Baguio!
And hey, check out Jack's Restaurant if your looking for a more authentic Baguio food house! :D
Aside from Amazing Kiss which I still sing whenever wherever I remember it, here's another one of my best ever favorite song from Beat of Angel; Every Heart. <3 <3 <3
Here's the music video:
I like the japanese version better than the english rendition, maybe because the lyrics fit better to the music.
And so, here is the japanese lyrics of Every Heart:
Ikutsu namida o nagashitara Every Heart sunao ni nareru darou Dare ni omoi wo tsutaetara Every Heart kokoro mitasareru no darou
Nagai nagai yoru ni obieteita
Tooi hoshi ni inotteta
Meguru meguru toki no naka de
Bokutachi wa ai o sagashiteiru
Tsuyoku tsuyoku naritai kara
Kyou mo takai sora miageteiru
Donna egao ni deaetara
Every Heart yume ni fumidaseru no
Hito wa kanashimi no mukou ni
Every Heart shiawase ukabete nemuru
Itsuka itsuka subete no tamashii ga
Yasuraka ni nareru you ni
Meguru meguru toki no naka de
Bokutachi wa ikite nanika wo shiru
Toki ni warai sukoshi naite
Kyou mo mata arukitsuzukete yuku
Osanai kioku no katasumi ni
Atataka na basho ga aru so sweeet
Hoshi tachi ga hanasu mirai wa
Itsumo kagayaite ita so shine
Meguru meguru toki no naka de
Bokutachi wa ai wo sagashite iru
Tsuyoku tsuyoku naritai kara
Kyou mo takai sora miagete iru
Meguru meguru toki no naka de
Bokutachi wa ikite nanika wo shiru
Toki ni warai sukoshi naite
Kyou mo mata arukitsuzukete yuku
I just love the girl, the meaning of the song and music. :)
One of the most visited places here in Baguio City is this western-countryside themed park, where rodeos are Igorots wearing pointed boots and cowboy hats! :D
"And God took a handful of southerly wind, Blew his breath over it and created the horse..."
We drop by this place after visiting Minesview Park and The Mansion. By commuting, you could ride a jeepney from town to Minesview Park, drop by The Mansion and walk your way down here.
the long stairways connecting Wright Park and The Mansion

Seeing the horses neighing is good enough for me as I can't push my luck riding like a cowboy with a humongous tummy! But I do hope this post gives you a head start on what you you could do if your planning to go visit this place any time soon! :D
