Sagada Must-try: Yogurt Parfait and Lemon Pie

Image
Found Yogurt and Lemon Pie in one place in Sagada. As one who makes yogurt at home, I find their yogurt at Marie's something different. It is not tangy and the texture is a bit like silken tofu or even like a slimy version of taho. We tried the honey yogurt topped with fruits in season and granola. Other variants are strawberry and blueberry yogurt as base of the parfait. It's worth coming back for more! Sagada is home to lemon pies but in Marie's the lemon pie is worth a try too. The merangue is fluffy and not too sweet as to contrast the lemony custard. The crust is not special enough to be impressive but the combination of the three layers blend well. Not so sugary and very lemony so I liked it.  Shall try other lemon pie houses. Stay tuned. More photos in my instgram . 

A surprise find at Ganduyan Museum

Image
Ganduyan Museum is a private collection of Christina Aben. It is a small collection but I got amazed with the leglet, a bronze coil jewelry worn around the legs for health benefits and as badge of wealth where the longer it is, the more affluent the wearer is. At first, I even thought it is worn around the neck just like the Karen Tribe in Thailand. It was one nice thing to know from this museum.  In the museum one can find baskets used for farming and cayching snails. There are old cloths too because Sagada is know for weaving too. Jewelry consisting of beads used for dowry can also be found.  Ganduyan is the old town name of Sagada, a name taken from a farm tool because of language barrier it was the thing used by a native was first asked what's the town name. A booklet is lent containing descriptions of the items but it would have been nice if the lady in charge is explaining and interacting. Check my instagram for more photos of museum finds....
