Welcome me back, foodie friends … =b

2021-09-01 Baguio Reggie's Takeaway
Reggie’s Takeaway: Cassava cake, mechado, chicken asado, and laing. (“,)

… because I did another disappearing act (from http://www.FindgoodBaguiofoods.com at least *hee) at the end of October 2021.

Here I am again, marveling at how time flew by and it’s actually a new year. Are you marveling along with me? *wink I hope 2022 started off well for you all and that it’s still going well while we’re speeding through to the end of January now. Happy New Year! And just in case I don’t see you, Happy Chinese New Year, too. =)

Baguio Genki Sushi 2022 Steamed egg custard and shoga picked ginger palate cleanser
Steamed egg custard, so smooth, it’s like silken tofu, beside my palate cleanser/shoga

I can’t say I haven’t been waiting for this, for Genki since I heard about their direct-to-table ‘Shinkansen Train’ inspired delivery system from Ms. Jess (Thankies for the inside scoop, Ms. Jess)

The usual meeting with two of my favorite people involves gorging on foodstuff to power us on for the chitter-chatter with a few serious hushed discussions sprinkled around. *wink Luckily, I just heard about Mangiamo at the old C Boutique Hotel from Sir Albert of Ozark Diner. And so, a “let’s eat” meeting was set up the next day (Because eatcited much *hihi) at the in-house resto of what is now

Today marks www.findgoodBaguiofoods.com‘s 10th year. ^^,

(That’s including the two years of COVID pandemic which I said I wouldn’t count since “I didn’t use” these years, all that while focusing mainly on posts of lockdown/house arrest eats and eatsploring via delivery on this blog’s Facebook page. =] )

10 years … With almost 500 blogposts, possibly thousands of photos in my archive of a myriad of dishes that my foodie lovies and I enjoyed at different restos, some that have come and already gone; I think the time has come to give this online diary hobby of mine a rest and go back to eating “in private” (I’ll still be talking photos of food to remember them by because you know. *hee Memory gap. =b) and food tripping “in peace” [Considering all the work that goes into composing a feature post.
