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 visiting the Batad Rice Terraces and a van ride from Banaue, Ifugao we stopped by in Bontoc, Mountain Province to have lunch. After dining, Bibang said that she wanted to show me and Maki something but she told us to blindfold ourselves first.

At first I thought she was kidding but she was serious. But even if she was kidding Maki and I were both game for blindfolded adventures to make our trip really interesting.

While hoping that a rabid dog would not intersect with our path and Bibang, the girl we entrusted our lives with, would not leave us in the middle of the road, we crossed streets, stepped up a gutter, walked on inclined sidewalks and climbed stairs until Filipinos and foreigners talking. And when she finally commanded us to remove our blindfold what I saw was amazing. I’ve never ever have seen anything like it in my life. Everything was just blurred!!!

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.
