Sagada, Mountain Province

Salt and Pepper Diner at Sagada, Mountain Province

February 28, 2013 by Josiah Leave a Comment

The first time I went to Sagada, Mountain Province, Bibang brought Maki and I to Salt and Pepper Diner just beside the office of SAGGAS. We came up a small set of stairs and ended up in a restaurant full that almost all made of wood. The ambience was great and the food was also good too. That’s why at my second time in Sagada, I made it a point to visit again Salt and Pepper Diner.

I’ve tried their Pinikpikan which was good as the chicken was served on a different plate than the soup. By this I could control the amount of flavor the soup would make on my chicken. It was delicious, if only it was not prepared in a brutal way for the chicken.

After picking up my pre-ordered Lemon Pie from Lemon Pie House in Sagada, Mountain Province around 6AM I was hurrying back to my lodge to pick up my stuff and run to the bus station to reach the 7AM trip to Baguio. I’ve heard stories of people unable to ride the bus due to many travellers wanting to go out of Sagada that’s why I went to the bus station early but since I was going down on a Saturday there were only a few people.

The Lizardo Trans Bus started moving at around 7:15 AM and I loved the view of the clouds being lower than us.

Then it changed to the rice terraces and rivers.

Just before we reached the intersection of the road to Sagada and Halsema Highway

Then after some time the crops turned from rice to mountains of cabbage.

Anak, bumili ka ng kape

May 4, 2012 by Josiah 18 Comments

The first time I heard about Sagada Coffee I was joking that a mother ordered her son to buy coffee and the son ended up going up to Sagada, Mountain Province just to buy coffee. Late last month, looks like the joke was on me.

When my mother learned that I was going to Hungduan, Ifugao for my travel project she ordered me to buy coffee. Specifically, Sagada Coffee.

Nungulunan Rice Terraces in Hungduan, Ifugao

I woke up at 4:45AM, packed my stuff and left my lodging in the middle of Hapao Rice Terraces in Hungduan, Ifugao to catch the 1 hour jeepney ride to Banaue.

Rode a jeep from Banaue to Bontoc, Mountain Province for 2 hours topload style where I met travellers – Jeano, Jermaine and Angel – who were also toploading.

When they asked me how many days was I staying and what were the spots I was going to in Sagada, I can only give them one answer “Ummm… Uwi na ako bukas. Inutusan lang kasi ako ng nanay ko bumili ng kape.”
