Baguio Adventures 2025: Good Shepherd Haul and a Review

The only things I buy from Good Shepherd are Ube and Strawberry Jam. The Strawberry Jam was out of stock and I saw these ube crinkles so I got them. My sister also asked me to buy Snowballs for her. I haven't tasted those yet but she says they're her favorite. Have you tried Snowballs? If you have, I'd love to hear from you. Drop your comment below. Here are the ube crinkles. They taste like gata (coconut milk). The taste is very overpowering. It's also too sweet for me. The texture is good, just like how a good crinkle should be. But as you can see, the sizes are not uniform. I'd have to say this is not for me. Price List (as of writing) Ube Jam - Php350 (limited to 2 per person) Snowballs - Php310 (limited to 1 per person) Ube Crinkles - Php240 Good Shepherd Convent CJCG+P69 Gibraltar Road, Baguio City, Benguet If you want to learn more about our Baguio Adventure, check out: My Quest for the Perfect Travel Bag Why You Should Always Pack a Red Lipstick When You ...

Baguio Country Club Cheese Bread

My sister went to Baguio, Ifugao, etc. last week. She brought home a bunch of goodies including this: It’s supposed to be a cheese bread but it’s filled with walnuts and dried fruit. It’s like a fruit cake inside. I didn’t like this. I like sweet and savory but this was just terrible. I like dried fruits as my grandma makes a mean fruitcake and she uses the same ingredients. I just didn’t appreciate this. It really tasted weird for me. The filling just does not go with the bread.

Good Shepherd Ube Crinkles vs. Amira’s Chocolate Crinkles: Which One Gets My Thumbs Up?

Pasalubong - noun. Homecoming gift. Two pasalubong classics. Two different cities. One sweet verdict. Baguio and Tagaytay each have their own crinkle pride—Everything Nice Cake Shop and Cafe ube crinkles that I got from Good Shepherd (Baguio) and Amira’s chocolate crinkles (Tagaytay) . At first glance, they couldn’t be more different: one’s a delicate purple bite, the other a deep cocoa round. But do they both deliver on taste? Good Shepherd Ube Crinkles Technically, I got this from Good Shepherd, but the brand on the packaging says Everything Nice Cake Shop and Cafe. Pretty on the outside, but the first bite was a letdown. The sweetness is overwhelming, and the strong coconut milk flavor overpowers the ube. It’s too rich, leaving little room for the gentle, earthy notes we expect from a true ube treat. For us, it felt more like a coconut candy in disguise than a balanced ube crinkle. I had a hard time finishing one. I tried to finish it because I was ...
