This is one of the notable restaurants highlighted in Doreen Gamboa Fernandez's culinary book 'Tikim'.

If you travel to Baguio, I highly recommend visiting this place. The food is good specially Shrimp Curry. The ambient is not intimidating, and it is good. Their story behind the place is wonderful.
