Dinner at Zenz Restaurant at Mines View Park Hotel

There were several dishes served at Zenz Restaurant at Mines View Park Hotel in Baguio that night. But because I was already so full from the constant feeding all throughout the day (hehe), I only had three of the dishes served:

pork kebab

There's another one with sausages but I never got to take photos of it. I came from my nap and by the time I went down to Zenz Restaurant, everyone was almost done eating and was already enjoying an Igorot dance show. Anyway, I liked this dish. The meat was tender and I loved the grilled bell peppers in between. You know how much I love bell peppers! I eat them everyday at home!

grilled corn

Instead of rice for carbs, I had corn instead. The piece I got wasn't char-grilled and tasted sweet and crunchy. Perfect!

grilled squid

I normally don't eat grilled squid because even those that I got from Boracay whenever we'd vacay there, they always feel gummy. But the ones they prepared at Zenz Restaurant was very crunchy. Hurray!

Bon appetit!

Lunch #1 at Zenz Restaurant at Mines View Park Hotel

I am very picky when it comes to eating out. This is probably because I mostly like very flavorful dishes and detest those Western bland ones which I normally found to be served in restaurants I've visited before. This is why I resort to my own cooking 90% of the time. And so I was really surprised and happy to have enjoyed the dishes that were served during my stay at Mines View Park Hotel in Baguio from Sept. 23-24. We were always served with buffet but I was assured that their regular servings are always hefty and worth the price you pay for.

Let me show you the dishes I had together with my fellow bloggers who got invited to visit the place and experience it all for ourselves. Here's the lunch we had:

fresh leaves and carrots

Because we were in the land of not just strawberries but fresh vegetable produce, it's only normal to expect really, really fresh vegetables. And they did serve us with those!

lettuce with bread crumbs and cheese

I liked the way the textured bread crumbs, twist of cheese and a bit of vinaigrette blended with everything.

beef caldereta and rice

I seldom eat caldereta for fear of chewing a gummy beef portion, but the one they served us was tender and delicious!

chicken in sesame and barbecue sauce

I will never get tired of this chicken dish.

breaded fish chips

I like fish but rarely eat fish chips coz they mostly taste like bread rather than fish! But this one exceeded my expectation. The fish inside was flavorful so I didn't mind eating the breaded part.

mango gelatin... sweet, mangoey and yummy. ^_^

I'd love to come back there again, but this time, I want to enjoy it with my hubby. There are still so many Continental and Asian dishes I'd love to try next time.

Strawberry Sinigang at Mines View Park Hotel in Baguio

I had the privilege to taste Zenz Restaurant's (located at Mines View Park Hotel in Baguio) very innovative dish, Strawberry Sinigang, yesterday noon. Me and 19 other bloggers had a wonderful stay at Mines View Park Hotel and we were served with very wonderful healthy and tasty entrees, one of which is this unique strawberry dish:


The Strawberry Sinigang we had included freshly-picked strawberries to give the dish the sweet-tangy flavor broth and delightfully fruity charm.You can have your choice of shrimp, fish, beef or pork for meat.

As for what I had, it was Pork Strawberry Sinigang. I super liked it! It had the tangy sinigang taste with a strawberry twist. I thought it would taste weird, but everything actually fused together. Yum Yum!!!

Zenz Restaurant is located inside Mines View Park Hotel, 1 Apostol St., Outlook Drive, Baguio City.
