Day 3: Puerto Princesa City Tour - Baker's Hill

Image
[October 23, 2011] We went for our city tour around Puerto Princesa on our last day. Our first stop was Baker's Hill which was owned by the Flores family who also owns Tipas Bakery.  This place is famous for their freshly baked  hopia  (a type of round flaky pastry) filled with either   red bean, purple yam/ube, or candied wintermelon with pork fat.  They also sell other kinds of breads and pastries but the hopia is considered their bestseller.  We bought some to take back to Manila. It also has a landscaped garden with numerous figurines (some of popular characters) that provide photo opportunities.  ;) and a wide range of plants and flowers   There's also a children's playground and a mini aviary. peacock golden pheasant They also have an in-house restaurant that offers lunch buffet on specific days of the week.
