When it comes to more affordable fresh produce, there's really no place like Baguio City in Benguet. One of the many fruits that grow in this abundance in this mountain city is strawberries.
It's no wonder then why there are a lot of strawberry must-eats in Baguio: There's strawberry taho at Burnham Park, strawberry jam from Good Shepherd, and strawberry shortcake (or strawberry tart) from Vizco's. On your next trip to Baguio, here's another treat worth trying: strawberry-flavored champorado, which you can find at Le Monet Hotel in Camp John Hay at just P99 a bowl. It's a cool twist to the sweet and milky chocolate rice pudding dish we all know and love.
Do take note that the strawberry flavor does not come from strawberries itself, though it is topped with slices of fresh strawberries for that sweet, tarty flavor. Pair this champorado with hot chocolate or brewed coffee for the perfect breakfast combo!
Le Monet Hotel is at Ordonio Drive, Camp John Hay, Baguio City, Benguet. The strawberry champorado is available from 10 a.m. onwards.
