$0.25 Burger in Baguio, Philippines 🇵🇭

I explored the 'Summer Capital' of the Philippines. Baguio is a mountain city in Luzon that's very popular with domestic tourists looking for some fresher weather.

A cooler climate is exactly what I needed after suffering in the sweltering heat of Manila. After travelling to Baguio I can finally roam around outdoors for hours and feel good.

I started my day at the SM City. It's a huge modern mall built on top of a hill, with open walls to let the cool air flow through. It's the only major mall in the Philippines without air conditioning. AC simply isn't needed in Baguio.

At SM City Baguio, I enjoyed a combination of two of my favourite drinks, Milo and Boba Milk Tea from a stall called Tiger Sugar. I took my delicious drink to the sky terrace on the roof of the mall, that is a popular place to hang out and enjoy the weather and view of Baguio city.

I could see a Ferris wheel near the mall so went to check it out. It was in the Sky Ranch amusement park which has some other rides, but the only one that interested me was the pirate ship. It was fun but I wish there were some more thrill rides there.

From there I walked down Session Road, the main street in Baguio, to visit the public market. My mission was to buy some fresh strawberries, and that was an easy one to complete. Strawberries are very popular in Baguio as the area has the perfect climate to grow them.

At Baguio Public Market I also enjoyed some strawberry ice cream and some delicious Filipino sweets made from cassava and ube.

My final mission of the day was to buy a Baguio t-shirt and that was neither difficult of expensive.

With my missions complete I rewarded myself with a burger. I saw many people queuing up at a bakery where dozens of burgers were being fried up. No wonder they are popular as it must be the cheapest burger in the world, at only 15 pesos, or about $0.25. What a bargain!

The next day I continued the vlog by getting outside of Baguio city centre and visiting a cultural village at Mount Kalugong. The weather forecast was for heavy rain but I packed a poncho and visited anyway. The forecast is for rain every day, so you just need to take your chances.

After a short hike around the mountain and a bit of rock climbing, I was surprised to see there was a coffee shop up there. I don't like coffee but they had matcha green tea, which I love. So I got to enjoy a nice cold match Frappuccino with an incredible view of the La Trinidad area.

I visited Mr Kalugong by taxi but returned with the local transport, a jeepney. I've seen jeepneys everywhere since I arrived in the Philippines but had never actually ridden in one, so this was my first time.

I ended my Baguio adventure back where I began it, at the SM City Mall, where I enjoyed some special Japanese ramen and another bubble tea. Yum yum!
