A Taste of Wildflour

I love salted chocolate almond! My boss usually give this as a "pasalubong" whenever he came back from the U.S. Unfortunately, on his last trip he was unable to buy my favorite chocolate. He then suggested that if I really like salted chocolate I should try the salted chocolate cake from Wildflour. Since then, we have been planning to have a dinner at this restaurant. 

Our plan came true one morning after my friend had a check-up. She decided that we have breakfast at Wildflour in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. The restaurant is located at the groundfloor of Net Lima Bldg. There is also Wildflour Cafe in Ortigas, Pasig at Podium. 

The place was almost full and there are only few vacant tables left. The place has a homey atmosphere with its bake pastries just near the front door. The staff are also polite to greet us when we arrived.

I ordered Croque Madame which is one of their bestsellers. The bread was so soft and milky. The combination of the egg and ham with milky taste of the bread is perfect. They have a very generous serving of this meal.


My friend had Wildflour Breakfast. It has two eggs, crispy potatoes, homemade pork belly sausage and baguette. I so love their crispy potatoes. The sausages are also good. 


Of course, we would not leave Wildflour without having their Salted Chocolate Cake. Its a very rich cake with a very good combination of salt and chocolate. The salty taste mixes with sweetness the of chocolate as it melts on your mouth.


Food is ultimately great at Wildflour Cafe.

Written on the Stones

At last! The trip that was cancelled twice finally pushed through. We had a hard time planning the trip because we cannot find any direction getting to the Angono Petroglyphs. It is easy to get there if you have a private vehicle. For commuters, the jeep or FX going to Angono or Binagonan is the main mode of transportation.

Private vehicles just need to follow the signs going to Thunderbird Resort. For commuters, you need to go down at Scrapyard Restaurant then hire a tricycle that will bring you to the caves. Luckily for us the tricycle driver was very kind enough to offer his service and is willing to wait for us. 

Petroglyphs are considered rock art. The figures are engraved on rocks making it susceptible to weathering and damage. Good thing the Angono Petroglyphs was declared as a national cultural treasure. A team led by National Museum in 1973 created the view deck to protect and preserve the petroglyphs.



A panoramic view of the Laguna Lake and nearby provinces can be seen going up to the Angono Petroglyphs. Visitors must enter a short tunnel to reach the place. From the tunnel is just an ten minute walk to the museum and view deck. A fee of P10.00 for children and P20.00 for adults is charge to enter the place.

Inside the museum are artifacts of stone carvings and China wares. Just outside the museum is the pathway up to the view deck of the petroglyphs. Most of the figures look like stick drawing of man and different kinds of animals.

The Angono Petroglyphs is a place to remind us of the ingenuity of our ancestors.
