Pork Ribs in Baguio - Canto Restaurant

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 was not able to take a picture of Happy tummy :(

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!

Almond gulaman drink for only P20.00! Its color matches the interior's draperies too! :)

 

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.   

Juicy chili burger!

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. :)
