We
arrived in Baguio at about 1pm. We were still kinda full because of our hefty
breakfast at Isdaan Restaurant during our stopover in Tarlac. But since I am
super excited to try out the much raved ribs at Canto Restaurant in the Ketchup Food
community, we went ahead and drove to Wright Park to eat.
Ketchup
food community consists of five restaurants, Rancho Norte which serves Filipino
food, Green pepper that boasts italian cuisine, Happy tummy for thai food
lovers, Rumah Sate which caters Indo-Malay food and Canto which is famous for
their pork ribs and burgers. Parking is a bit of a problem though, we had to
park across the street because they didn't have enough parking.

I still
have a hangover from Calle verde's ribs when we went to Cebu last year. They
were inexpensive but really good. So we
decided to try Canto. I ordered their bestseller, the lomo pork ribs, while
hubby tried their chili burger. To go with it, we tried their almond gulaman
drink.
I was
surprised when our drinks arrived, they're purple! But they were really good and
refreshing. At the bottom of the drink were almond jelly which I get to eat
after I finished the drink. For a cheap price of P20.00, I wouldn't mind having
another one!

The ribs
weren't as big as Calla verde's but It was so juicy and flavorful. It
was also so tender that the meat fell right off the bone. The salad was also a
delight. At first, I thought the the red bits were tomatoes, but they weren't..
they were watermelon! They also added bits of peanut brittle that added tiny
hints of sweetness and crunch to the salad.

The chili
burger was also good. It looks messy in
the picture, but once you take a bite,
it will surely satisfy your palate. Hubby thought it would taste even
better if it had melted cheese instead of the grated cheddar though. And the
fries were blah.

Overall,
I would definitely recommend this restaurant to all those who are planning to
go to Baguio. Too bad we weren't able to try all other restos in the ketchup
food community, but I plan to try all of them when we go back. :)
