A Strawberry Kind Of Day

February 24, 2013 / Filed Under: food

Last Tuesday was a Strawberry kind of day. My day started with a breakfast of Strawberry S’mores. Yup, you got it right. S’mores with caramelized strawberry topping. If you are wondering what it looked like, click here.

Yes, it was gorgeous and delicious.

Strawberry is one of my favorite fruits and sometimes, in choosing flavors of desserts and drinks, I lean towards choosing it. Last tuesday, after breakfast, I headed on to BGC for a meeting. I thought I needed sugar to wake me up and brighten my mood so I dropped by Chez Karine.

The call of the Strawberry Cheesecake smoothie on the menu is far too loud so I had to buy it. But the mag-bo-bote in me couldn’t resist the panna cota in those cute bottles –I just had to buy one. It would take an l clamp to pry me away from my jar collection.

Later did I realize that both the things I bought were strawberry flavored.

Like I said.. it was a strawberry kind of day.

Outside the Strawberry Farm in La Trinidad Benguet….

You can buy strawberries ranging from P75 -P120 per kilo depending on the size and quality of the strawberries. There are also native handicrafts and Strawberry Wines sold.

Aside from Strawberries, you can also buy fresh vegetables like broccoli, potatoes, chayote, mushrooms, cabbage and onions for very low price.

I was surprised to find out that there’s also Bluberries being sold. It’s relatively small from the imported blueberries found at grocery stores here in Manila but it’s great that they were able to plant blueberries locally.

This marks the end of my Baguio Adventure.

Strawberry Farm, La Trinidad Benguet

We needed to wake up early the next day to go to the Strawberry Farm in La Trinidad Benguet. Thank God for noise cancelling ear buds , the key to my deep slumber. It drowned out even the noise of the early wakers who were taking jumpshots outside of the hotel.

After getting my Strawberry Taho fix from Mines View Park, it was time to get Fresh Strawberry Dirt Ice Cream at the Strawberry farm entrance. They cost P15 per cone and it was delicious.

The cost of picking strawberries from the farm is P300 per kilo. It is triple the amount of what you have to pay for a kilo if you opt to just buy instead of pick your own.
