Baker's Hill was not what I expected. Never had heard about this place before arriving at Puerto…read morePrincesa in Palawan, Philippines. Based on the name, I thought we would be visiting a place where there would be plenty of bakeries. This turned out not to be the case. Although, there was a bakery there. We made sure to stop into the bakery before leaving. Turns out that Baker's Hill is a tourist attraction. Plenty of photo opportunities throughout the property. Lots of cool statues of animals and cartoon characters. They have an aviary filled with peacocks. There is also a viewing deck at Baker's Hill from which you can see the beautiful view surrounding the area. Purchased the following items at the bakery: Cashew Polvoron Hopia Mongo Royal Soda Barquillos Yema Tarts All were good. The Hopia Mongo was my favorite item that we got. Baker's Hill is a fine place to check out when traveling to Puerto Princesa in Palawan. Have fun!!

It was raining when I went to Puerto Princesa and my parents were sick and I'd already rented a…read moreprivate van to drive us around. I've been to this town before and did the underground cavern kayaking and didn't feel the need to do it again. So being a homebody I figured I'd have a normal day- not a day full of sightseeing, but a day of going to the supermarket, grab some cold and flu supplies for the parents who stayed on the cruise ship, and maybe get some KFC. And that day rocked. I like feeling normal rather than being a tourist who feels the need to drink everything in. However, I had a driver and lots of time on my hands, so why not do something touristy? Off to Baker's Hill we went. It was a little scary because it's out in the sticks and there was construction on the road that made it muddy on a rainy day. My driver pushed on and pulled up to this little village in the middle of nowhere and this place was kooky. Baker's Hill is this Instagrammy slice of heaven- lots of fiberglass statues of Marilyn Monroe, Shrek and family, those italian chef things you might find in a suburban kitchen that holds a menu. Nice gardens too. Even in the rain it was nice to look around. They have a stand for boba tea, a couple of places where you can sit and have snacks or a table service meal. And at the exit they sell Filipino baked goods. I got some biscotti, spicy dillis, and some hopia along with other treats. They don't have much in the way of souvenirs other than t-shirts (I'm a sticker girl, so they didn't have anything for me) but that's okay. It took me about 20 mins to look around and buy my treats, then back to the van to enjoy more of normality.
