The third on my list of top 5 things to do in Baguio is to visit Bencab Museum + Cafe Sabel in Asin. It took us almost half an hour to get there + the place is not really on the busiest side of town, so it took us another 10 to 15 minutes of walk back to civilization where public transport is located {+ did I tell you that the road is elevated? We are in the mountains, after all}, bit if only for the beautiful + magnificent art works found in this quaint museum, I’d say our trip was well worth it!
I always love going to museums + there’s nothing like dabbing into the amazing + wonderful world of the arts + artworks. We took the time photographing every nook + cranny that caught our fancy, discovering each + every gallery in the museum.
+ when all the walk + the art made us hungry we went straight down to Cafe Sabel to sample what this treasure-in-the-mountain has to offer. From the lovely paintings on the wall, to the espresso kitchen cabinets, to the colorful tables + chairs and the divine food, I tell you we were not disappointed as it was one gastronomic experience! I won’t go into the delicious details as I’d love to tackle more about it on my food blog, but I’ve got a few samplers on the photos + I’ll just let them speak for themselves! 😉
We cap off our visit by dropping by the museum shop to get some souvenirs. I got a matching Bencab Museum shirt for me + the little man, as well as a pack of these beautiful Bencab paintings-made-into-postcards, which I shall also share with you in another post.
Our trip to Asin was all worth it, + I am sure we’ll go there again the next time we go back to Baguio.
How was your experience at the Bencab Museum?
Ate Vix, magkano yung isang set ng Ben Cab postcards? Meron pa bang other sets of postcards available there?
Do they ship?
i got this for Php120 a set, 1 lang binili ko kasi pare-pareho lang ung nakita kong naka-display at the time. Not sure if they ship, though, I bought from the museum kasi
How many in a set?
