sassymoon, actually, I have only had real pinikpikan twice, and though I now know how a real one is made, I devised a soup that approximates the pinikpikan but uses roasted chicken and it works really well, so I ate much more of the latter, I will find a link and put it here. As for the day old chicks, I have no problem with others eating them, I just didn't find it personally appealing, whether because of their looks, age or the atrocious food coloring. But I am not opposed to anyone else enjoying them, particularly since they might likewise enjoy balut... I also am not a huge fan of fried crickets for the sole reason that I cannot get over their resemblance to roaches... :)

this post was a little ironic, since you like pinikpikan and eat it regularly, while you cringe at the skewered and grilled day old chicks. at least the chicks didn’t get beaten to death, before being killed…as compared to the pinikpikan where the chicken got ‘tortured’ first before being cooked. this is why, when we went to cafe by the ruins years ago, i didn’t order their pinikpikan…everytime i think about how this dish is made, it seems absolutely cruel and mean.

Go back to Cafe, the food has transformed! The hand of the founding chef is back on the tiller. There is no comparison, the food is inspired again.

try niyo nalang sa Volante sa may Session Road.. masarap ang Pesto Pasta.. best ever.. at healthy pa.. kung kape naman usapan.. punta nalang kayo sa black market or sa nardas.. meron silang ibat’t ibang klaseng kape dun.. best sa palengke pa rin kxe indi commercialized. :)

nakatulong ba?

I think Salud just transferred from its old Lourdes Grotto location to Session Road.

Rina, seems Bistro Salud has closed shop in Baguio since they opened one in Laguna? or down South Expressway somewhere. Where is Eve’s garden?

marketman, with Cafe by the Ruins on a downtrend, Bistro Salud and Eve’s Garden provide alternative Baguio dining options
