BAGUIO BITES: Chocolate de Batirol

November 30, 2020

After going to the Butterfly Sanctuary, Go-Karting then walking around, we worked up an appetite. Decided to go to Choco-late de Batirol, an institution here in Baguio. The best part is it’s still inside Camp John Hay!

It is pronounced as Cho-co-la-teh de Batirol, which is the Tagalog pronunciation of Chocolate! If it sounds Spanish, it is because it is. We probably we got the word from them during our 300+ under Spanish rule.

The place is super kitchy & very #JungalowStyle. I think plantitas would love this place! Who wouldn’t love a restaurant set in a rainforest garden that is renowned for hot chocolate & traditional Filipino goodies?

We were all excited for some hot chocolate and Turon.

Turon is saba banana dusted with brown sugar then rolled inside a spring roll wrapper and fried till the wrapper is crisp. Turon sometimes jackfruit inside.

Champorado is a kind of porridge which is glutinous rice cooked with cocoa tablets. It’s best with a lot of milk and a dash of sugar. Filipinos love eating champorado on rainy days, especially when it is paired with what we call ‘tuyo’

– THE DAILY ROAR

This was my first time to eat champorado with tuyo and I actually liked the sweet and savory combination.

We enjoyed the tasty food but I was left with a bum tummy. I’m the only one who ate the champorado with tuyo. So either something inside it was off – though it didn’t taste like it – or I was intolerant to something in the dish.

Have you eaten here? What was your experience?
