food Monday, August 17, 2015
As much as everyone wants to eat healthy, the busy and diminishing land in the Metro makes it hard to get good food which came from quality ingredients. A lot of us is still confused on how to pick the best ingredients that will make our home dishes healthy and at the same time tasty. Good thing that restaurants like Santika Naturals still upholds to the tradition of farm to table concept of dining.
Santika Naturals is a humble vegetarian located at Kamagong St. They offer dishes that are not only healthy but came from ingredients that you can be sure came from the mountains of Benguet. It was just this year that I found that the freshest and affordable produce can be found in Baguio (or the mountains of Benguet, to be exact). I was glad that restaurants, like Santika Naturals maximizes the bountiful crops of our country's mountains.
I was invited for a Zomato Foodie Meetup at Santika Naturals to try their exemplary vegetarian dishes and at the same time meet the people behind Santika. Here are some of the vegetarian dishes we tried during our foodie meetup:

The Palace Manila is the hottest place in Bonifacio Glocal City. It is owned by a group of friends who share the same ideals. You may have heard of the famous club,Valkyrie which is one of the go-to party place inside The Palace Manila.
Cafe Naya is one of the newest restaurant to open at The Palace Manila. It has a Mediterranean feel which will make you think of rainforests, sea and summer. Cafe Naya is one of the brilliant brainchild of Erwan Huesaff and Chef Mikko Reyes. Remember how you love Hungry Hound and Niner Ichi Nana? You'll also get to love the lighter and vibrant Cafe Naya.
I was invited to their media event to introducing the place to the public. They just opened a month ago and I was lucky (again!) that I'll meet Erwan and Chef Mikko.

Their interiors are bright with a lot of green which reminds you of a cafe/nook instead of a restaurant inside a party lounge vicinity.
