Star Cafe, Baguio
Philippines - Cebu - Boracay - Baguio - Manila
Star Café is a great Chinese restaurant most famous for its Star Rice and Joey Rufino's personalized service. Star Café is an old restaurant which is there since 1940. People who visit there often like the typical Filipino panaderia (bakery). The bread is stacked out in the front as soon as it comes out from the oven at the back. There is an old TV set to watch for and you can see whatever you feel like from the morning news to hip hop music. People come in to buy a roll or two and if time permits, sit down for coffee and pandesal (bread roll) along with the morning daily.
Usual panaderia staples include cinnamon rolls formed in a circle, cheese bread
(tubular rolls with a condensed milk and cheese filling) and of course beef
empanadas. These beef empanadas are prepared in the form of a curry. The mixture
is then enclosed in a heavy, crumbly pastry. The food is as tasty as the preparation
itself. A bite on the apple pie and prawn will make you go crazy. Star Café,
Baguio has an excellent atmosphere and you will simply have a gala time once
you come here to dine.
