Strawberry Taho at BenCab Museum

One of the best things to do in Baguio is a visit to the BenCab Museum on Asin Road. Whether you are into art or know nothing about it, it’s still worth your time and entrance money. And you might get lucky, the strawberry taho vendor could be around. Never miss buying a cup. Again, it’s worth it. In our case, we bought before entering the museum, and before leaving. We took advantage kasi when we go home, there wouldn’t be anymore strawberry taho.

I paid 300 pesos for three entrance tickets to the Bencab museum. Beginning January 2, 2016 the cost would be 120 pesos per person.

When Oyen saw a tiny BenCab painting included in the RE-VIEW selling exhibit area, nahinayang sya. The exhibit started on December 12 after I visited the place. Most of the art paintings were already marked sold. I doubt very much if that tiny Bencab would still be available for sale even if we came here on December 12. Baka before the exhibit opened, it had been sold. And even if it’s still for sale, I doubt very much if we could afford its tag price.

We saw this two guys effing each other at the Erotic Room.

A very large art sculpture of prekprek is also in the Erotic Room.
I’ve seen some of the artist’s pieces in Megamall one exhibit day. I am sorry but I don’t find our vagina artistic and cute enough to be hung on our wall.

There’s a room on the top floor that’s exclusively for Bencab paintings. I didn’t see this before because it was closed for photo shoot.

I cannot afford Bencab’s paintings. Well, maybe in the future, who knows.

There’s a big pond with bahay kubo behind the museum.

I don’t like Koi fish but I’d like to have a pond in my mini-farm but I don’t have a big enough space.

There’s a small strawberry patch near the pond. I also want to have a strawberry garden, gaya-gaya naman ako.

The 6 hectare property has become a very popular tourist destination in Baguio. There must be at least 300 people while we were there.

Difficult to take solo picture sa dami ng tao.

Ayan tyempo, single lady.

This area is restricted for now but it would be open to the public soon. Medyo bangin na dito and one has to cross a hanging bridge to get to the other side of the mountain. Kung may pagka Tarzan ka, pwede ka dun. Not for me.

Note:
Bencab Museum is closed on Mondays.
