Philippines: Enjoy an Afternoon of Solitude and Sweets at Bakers Hill ~ Article by Beverly Isla |

| Women's Adventures, Vacations & Experiences ~ Your Journey Starts Here! |
The aroma of freshly baked bread and
pastries hit my senses immediately as I
enter Bakers Hill. Local bread, brownies,
sweet sponge cake, hopiang (traditional
filipino pastries with fillings), chocolate
droplets cost between 14 PHP and 100
PHP ($0.29- $2.08 US). Pastry boxes can
be beautifully wrapped for gift purposes
as well. A few minutes of picking up
bakery goods can easily turn out to be a
couple hours of wandering the mini
wonderland park that is adjacent to the
property free of charge. The major
attraction on sight is the zen garden
that exhibit various designs from tropical
plants and stone formations. Food
vendors and a restaurant called Bakers
Kitchen are also on sight for visitors to
enjoy. A simple trip to this bakery makes
for the perfect outing for families and for
local school field trips. In fact, Bakers Hill
is part of the Puerto Princesa city tour
and is located at Mitra’s Road, Brgy.Sta.
Monica.

Past the bakery building towards the
garden are statues of disney character
cartoons such as Snow White, Bugs
Bunny and Donald Duck. These
presentations are great for picture taking
and are attractive to children. Visitors
then walk on stone pathways leading into
the Japanese-style garden with carefully
designed earth elements displaying circle
patterns made of dark grey and white
stones. Trimmed exotic plants align
walkways, some in the shape of circles,
others shaped as a winding, twisted
cylinder. Pink, purple and white flowers
hang from tree leaves and sprout from
plants. Various types of plants sit atop
dark brown clay pots, while others are
held by rock boulders adding to their zen
presentation. In one area of the garden,
hand-picked flat rocks in shades of grey
compose the ground foundation. Talking
blue and yellow parrots perch on their
wooden swing in a cage for visitors to
view. Black and purple peacocks also strut
confidently in their cages.

For entertainment, a cartoon-themed
playground is within the park for children to
enjoy. There are also wooden tables used for
gaming. For those who want to feast on food,
tables are also set up in the eating area.
Throughout the garden are smooth carved
benches, perfect for sitting and enjoying a
conversation with someone or just sitting
alone in tranquility. Towards the end of the
garden is a small man-made pond made of
cement with rocks embedded in it. Near the
edge sits a golden statue of a Buddha cross
legged on a rock with coins at his feet.
Throwing coins in this pond is considered lucky.
