We had breakfast at Choco-Late' de Batirol at Camp John Hay, Baguio City. The resto is owned by my high school classmate, Jojo Castro. According to him, they just moved to this new place at Igorot Garden two weeks ago. "The moment you enter our rainforest you are hooked, and you will keep coming back to savor the aphrodisiac goodness of our concoction..", he told me and that's what his website also states. Choco-Late' de Batirol, according to him, revives the tradition of preparing the hot choco made of cacao beans. Our breakfast of tocinong baboy, kalabaw and boneless bangus was served with the popular hot chocolate. Hmmm Yummy. Dining at Choco-Late' de Batirol is very relaxing and refreshing - you commune with the sorrounding trees and flowers.
Aside from running the resto, Jojo Castro also advocates the preservation of the environment through his Adopt-A-Seedling project in cooperation with the DENR. We visited the project's site and he showed us the seedlings and the vegetables that they have grown. He told my son, Geof, "I am just a caretaker of this property." He invites schools, private compannies, NGOs and green loving citizens to plant a tree. They have pine seedlings, cacao seedlings and many other plant species available and ready for planting.
