Sunshine Lunch

This is one of the oldest restaurants in the city. Founded by a Chinese merchant named Liu Ki in 1950's, it claims to be the first in commercially serving the infamous "siopao" to Baguio residents. They were originally sold for 0.5 cents each. Now they cost around 45 Pesos which is not really that bad. As for the taste, I didn't really find anything magical with it. I'm sorry I'm just not a fan of siopao. We also ordered miki-bihon pansit to pair with our white meat-filled fluffs. It's delicious but like their siopao, it didn't get me jumping off my seat either.

What got my attention were the little trinkets they sell at the counter. I found some haw flakes, tootsie rolls, and marie biscuits to name a few. If you grew up in the 90s, you'll enjoy these little treats that would give you a flashback of your childhood days.

The place gave me an impression of its old glory, when the city wasn't overcrowded and fastfood hasn't arrived yet. But the restaurant stood against the competition and that is really admirable. As for now, we can only wish for the best for Sunshine Lunch.

Now the question...Would I go back to Sunshine Lunch?
Maybe for those 90s stuff.
