Vizcayanos are being treated with superbly delectable dishes
as local food enthusiasts and businessmen put their passion and creativity in
the food and restaurant industry.
Among the restaurants that have been receiving a buzz is
Mrs. Baker's owned by Chef Jehan Damasco. Mrs. Baker's started its operation in September 28, 2010, and since then it has been a favorite dining place for locals and
tourists alike.
It was one Sunday afternoon, when I, together with a friend, came to visit Mrs. Bakers for a snack. Though the place was not new to me,
since I had been there couple of times ago, I was still in awe to find an
artistic dining place in town.
Mrs. Bakers is a two-storey structure with a laid-back,
homey feel. The first level is a restaurant, while the upper level I assume
housed function rooms reserved for special gatherings.
Customers have the
choice to dine inside the air-conditioned restaurant or outside in the patio
but I would not much recommend it for the noise coming from passing trikes and
jeepneys might distract you from your supposedly enjoyed meal.
Mrs. Bakers are known for their homemade cakes and pastries.
During my sister’s birthday, we ordered for their blueberry cheesecake. It is
soft, and not too sweet, which is a good thing, iwas-suya!!
Since we had our lunch earlier, we opt for a light snack,
I’m not sure if this seems light to you but it is for us. =)
We ordered for a vegetable salad and pasta. There were three
veggie salads to choose from; Caesar Salad, Crab Meat and Mango Salad, and
another one. We decided to try their Crab Meat and Mango Salad Solo (Php95).
Very lovely presentation. The greens are fresh and crunchy,
while the mango used was quite sour, maybe because the fruit isn’t in season,
but I enjoyed it anyway.
For our pasta, we were torn between the tried-and-tested
Classic Carbonara and Bring Home the Bacon (Php145), but when the served said
the latter was one of their bestsellers, then we nodded to it.
The pasta is thin, not as I expected and not as appetizing
to me, though it’s sprinkled with generous amount of bacon. The pasta did not
thrill me as much as it did to my friend. He finished the entire bowl.
For our drinks, my friend tried Mrs. Baker’s new offer, Hot
Swiss Mochaccino (Php90). Sorry for the comparison, but to me it tastes like
the instant coffee mocha brand Swiss Miss, and looks to me that they just put a
whip cream on top and chocolate syrup.
I, on the other hand, settled for their Ice Blended Caramel
Icepresso (Php95). And it was a good choice. I love the right amount of
sweetness and bitterness to it.
Mrs. Baker’s was a good treat for our Sunday afternoon. If
you come to pass by the town of Bayombong in Nueva Vizcaya or if you’re just near
the area, drop by and let Mrs. Baker’s make your day.
