Going up north, north of Laoag, translates to photo vomit. It starts with fresh biscocho from the Pasuquin Bakery and ends with “tres dulces” at Bergblick where you can savor bagnet prepared the professional Bavarian way by Chef Detlev Cotte. In between munches and de rigueur explication through the 7-hour northern exposure, at least if you’re with me, you will experience the highlights of the northern Ilocos coastline, yet there is more to thread — the max you can have due to time constraint.
-A Manileño tourist discovers Pasuquin’s famous biscocho.
-From the Cape Bojeador lighthouse, it is the Burgos coastline that beams at daylight.
-Stumbling upon tall, lean and goodlooking Manuever, Joshua Zamora… spontaneity.
-PGIN Tourism aide Arnel, who was with Joshua, was hesitant to disturb the dancer, but took the photo just the same when I wouldn’t settle for a paparazzi shot. (Thanks, Arnel!)
-My cool pack at the cultural heritage lighthouse, perched high on the Vigia de Nagparitan hill, first lit in March 30, 1892.
-31st anniversary honeymooners on an Ilocos escapade.
Beyond the high voltage…
–Tsika minute with tourists chilling around.
-The shrinking Kapurpurawan Rock Formation beyond the thorns.
-5 pay-soses view deck for those who can’t hike to the white rock.
-At the Bangui Windmills area, cutting on a clean view.
-Pagudpud white sand on my toes.
-China goes to Pagudpud:)
– roadside Bergblick Deutsches Restaurant, Burayoc Point, Pagudpud.
-The bomb! My sauerkraut platter, topped with homemade extrayummy-saltyish ham and Chef Detlev-sausage for the pack to share.
-The awesomest, subtlest curried chicken I’ve had since a Bangkok tour.
-The specialty of the house among other fine specialties — Bergblick Pan with cabbage roll, breaded pork, potatoes and sausage bathed in a special sauce!
And then the OMG butterscotch cake, creme brulee and crepe!!! Om nom nom nom.
-The pack with the Cotte power couple of the house, Maritess and Chef Detlev.

It’s official. My mother & I will be visiting in February. In time for Fiesta.
Wow. German restaurant. This I have to try. I’ve been to Pagudpud 2x in 2 different trips. This time around I want to stay a night or 2 or 3 in the area. My wishlist is to visit the Cape Bojeador lighthouse, Kapurpurawan Rock Formation and Kabigan falls. I’ve already visited the Bangui Windmills (but would love to visit it again). And we did day visits at Saud beach and “blue lagoon”. Do you have any suggestions on places to stay at in the area. Budget to middle range in cost.
I have a LONG list of things to visit and do. LOL. I’m going to blame you for that. =)
hahah! thanks! i’m gonna try to make a short list… budget and time-tipid wise:) be back to you asap.
Hi! That restaurant looks interesting! We were in Pagudpud just last Friday, and am trying to recall if we passed that resto… (change topic) – I’m a newbie blogger and just wanted to ask if there’s like some group of bloggers from Ilocos? 😀
not yet formalized, but there is.
That would be great, to meet you all! (Anywayz, we’ve actually met several times.) I really enjoy your blog, shows me the new (and not so new) things over here in Laoag/Ilocos. Thanks and God bless!
i remember:) thanks, mich! TC.
