Aside from visiting the strawberry farms and enjoying the cold breeze of Baguio City while walking on Session Road, a Baguio itinerary wouldn’t be complete without a food trip! And if you wanna try something new then Ili-likha Artist Village is the perfect place for you.

About Ili-likha Artist Village:

Ili-likha Artist Village also known as “Ili-likha Artists’ Wateringhole” was conceptualized by film director, Eric De Guia or known as “Kidlat Tahimik”. It is a food hub where good food and art collides. It is located along Assumption Road in Baguio City just near the Session Road so it’s very accessible if you’re just staying within the city proper.

What To Expect:

When we were walking along Assumption Road we almost missed the place as the entrance is not too visible or almost “hidden” along the way and you wouldn’t imagine that this small entrance will actually lead you to something delightful world.

Upon entering the vicinity, you will feel like entering another world, a very beautiful and imaginative world. The place is like a tree house with few floors and paths or holes that will lead you to its different food stalls. The entire place is made of overgrown trees, recycled materials such as woods, steels, tiles, a wall that is made of glass bottles, Ifugao sculptures, and many more that you couldn’t imagine. Those materials are perfectly put up together to make a very artistic place. The place is such an oasis that I couldn’t put on words on how I can fully describe it so I highly recommend for you to pay a visit and witness its creativeness by yourself.

We arrived on the place around 11am and not all of its stalls were already open and there were few people which is a good thing because you can appreciate it more and enjoy its serene ambiance with less people. Ili-likha Artist Village offers various food choices, promotes healthy living and affordable food choices.

Here are the foods we tried:

After we enjoyed our food, we took the opportunity to go around and see more of its hidden exquisite. Since the place was designed on a very arty way, there are path walks and staircases that you wouldn’t imagine will take you to another chamber or facility of the area.

Here are some of the snaps I took around the hub:

Siem Reap is more than just their century-old temples. It is a good place as well to fill your hungry tummy with their exceptional cuisines. Khmer cuisines are usually being compared to those gastronomies found in neighboring land of Thailand and Vietnam but it is simply delicious once tried.

Rice is Cambodia’s staple food and is part of almost every meal. Their dishes are usually served with plenty of herbs, fresh vegetables, fruits and sauces. There are a lot of food houses along the streets of Siem Reap that serves plenty of food choices making you hard to decide which of which to choose.

So I listed some of the foods we tried during our stay in Siem Reap.

  • Loklak

It is one of the most popular traditional Khmer dishes made with thin strips of beef or pork with fresh lettuce and sliced tomatoes on the side. They usually have it with brown sauce made of lime and pepper and fried egg on the top.

  • Khmer Curry

Khmer curry is a dish that is less spicy compare to those curries usually cooked in Thailand and India. It is commonly served with a meat of your choice (beef, chicken or fish), diced potatoes, coconut milk and herbs.

  • Fried Pineapple with meat

During those days I spent in Siem Reap, what I noticed was they have plenty of dishes that has fruits or vegetables as main dish ingredient. On this dish, they serve stir-fried pineapple slices with meat (pork, beef or chicken). It is a sweet savory stir-fried meal typically served with rice.

  • Cambodian Rice Noodle Soup

It is a traditional noodle soup served with rice noodles, pork stock and vegetable toppings. It is a popular breakfast meal in Cambodia and even on parts of Thailand and Vietnam.

  • Fried Flat Noodles

It is a stir fried flat rice noodles served with a meat of your choice (chicken, pork or beef) and green vegetables. Fried noodles can be found across the country in different varieties.

  • Stir Fried Ginger with Meat

This is an oriental dish made of thinly sliced fresh gingers and beef strips. What I love about this dish is they actually have crispy ginger “shoestrings” that results to good texture and flavorful taste.

  • Pineapple Fried Rice

It is one of my personal favorite dish I tried during my whole stay in Siem Reap. It is a mixture of fresh pineapple chunks, meat, roasted cashew nuts, carrots and peas that compliments well with the rice grains. It is actually served in a carved-out pineapple as its bowl making the dish more fun to eat!

  • Khmer Fried Chicken and Fried Rice

It is not your normal crispy fast food fried chicken. They use a native chicken which meat is tender and full of Asian flavor. This chicken is best paired with their own version of fried rice with soy sauce and oyster sauce.
