1 Strawberries
Our favorite Baguio treat will always, irreplaceably be strawberries. The succulent, juicy, sweet, and slightly tart berries are what dreams are made of. These red berries are best fresh, but you can also opt to sprinkle some salt or drench them in condensed milk. They may be an expensive rare commodity in the metro, but straight from the source, fresh as can be, they’re not too dizzyingly expensive.

Though exorbitantly expensive at your typical metro manila grocery, the oversupply in Baguio lets them sell it for a low, low price.
