New Branch of 50's Diners

When in Baguio, 50's Diner is a favorite cos of its reasonable prices, big servings and fair-enough-to-enjoy-dishes. My girls and the dad particularly like their long list of comfort foods slash fat laden junks like burgers and fries. I love their salads and sandwiches.
The numbers of our Baguio visits are not actually proportionate to our 50's Diners numbers. More often than not, we ended- up missing this diner cos it's always jam-packed. Especially on meal time like lunch and dinner.

So in our recent trip to the highland this month of May, we were glad when we saw a new branch along Military Cut-Off Road. We went there on a  breakfast and it was easy breezy. The day before we passed by during lunch and saw a similar crowded 50's. The older one is at Leonard Wood and by the time of our visit, was still very very crowded.

The new branch has exact interior as the original. I'm not quite sure about the movie posters on the walls. Maybe this one got newer movies or more vintage it should be!!!

The cute pink- uniformed waitresses were also present and the American 50's vibe was very much alive too in this branch.

It was breakfast so I got my pancakes. .as in PANCAKES!!! Have I mentioned above that everything here is served big?

It's not actually all- american dishes. It has a fusion of  Asian and American. Husband had our local tapsilog (fried rice,egg and marinated/dried beef slices) and boy was he happy with the beef  tapa. The serving portion was substantial, unlike in most tapsilog houses around our country.

Daughters had tosilog (instead of beef, it's marinated pork loin slices) and same thing very happy with the amount of serving.

Brewed coffee + fresh milk came free with our dishes.



When in Baguio with big tummies but forgot to bring your  fat wallet _ I recommend  50's Diners . Expect a heavy crowd thu', so go earlier than meal time.

Oh My Gulay

Guilty. of not updating this food blog.
doesn't mean that I'm on a diet. . actually the other way around.
The whole summer, including today and I'm very sure it will go forever the same. .

I eat.eat.and eat!!! in the house, out of towns, in other countries, in my friends' houses, one wedding, one baptismal, three birthdays. . so busyyyy eating!!!!
I actually have tons of backlogs, sitting unfinished. .
cos everytime I run on my food photos, I would run to the kitchen and eat!!! 

so I'm back today and decided to post about Oh My Gulay in Baguio City.
This won't make me run and eat and abandon this post,
I swear. .cos I just had a plateful of vegie salad a minute ago, hehe.



I would post about the structures, arts and oddities of this place at my other blog cos it really is to me a destination on its own right. But the foods ofcourse belong here.



For those who haven't been there, here's a glimpse of how beautifully odd the place is. Each dining table is uniquely placed offering a plate of privacy and if the cafe' is not jam you can choose your corner.

It is by the way at the uppermost top, shall I say roof top? of one of the commercial buildings in Session Road in Baguio City.

We came to Oh My Gulay hours after lunch and hours away from dinner, so it was like merienda (snack) time (maybe around 3-4pm). We weren't hungry even. But  it's a restaurant and not an art gallery . We couldn't go checking the arts in the house forever without ordering food (even though that was exactly what we wanted to do, haha)



Anyway it got a healthy menu of vegetable dishes and we love salads_ fresh vegetable salad to be specific and where else to eat best but there at the lettuce bowl of  P.I. _Baguio!

So we had mango crepe, ok it's not a vegie but it's still a healty fruit. A puttanesca which used no meat, all vegie pasta. A plate of lumpia ( spring rolls) which came out was also some kind of a salad.

And the cafe's specialty salad (forgot the name) which we didn't touch and had to bag it to the hotel cos it was like a redundant of the fresh rolls plate without the rolls. Baguio seemed to be fond of honey mustard dressing. I countlessly had this dressing in my salad from other restos here. Even rarely that you would be given an option for other dressings. The thing is_ I don't like honey mustard.



But we love the pasta. On our next visit, we will surely re-order this dish.



And we are definitely going back to Oh My Gulay on our next Baguio trip. One time visit is not enough to savor the delicious art works in the house and interesting dishes with odd names from their menu.

ps : prices are reasonable, mostly below or just a tad above P100 a dish. Now you can visit Ascertain Bliss to see more of the place.
