Village Cafe of Art

in #architecture6 years ago (edited)

Finally got a chance to spend a little vacation and we decided to go up north in the country. Still a bit tired from the long bus ride I was eager to go out and even get lost in the process. Sometimes getting lost leads to discovery of unique and awesome places. This is what we discovered while roaming around the place and trying to get back to our accommodation.

As we were walking around trying to get back and have some rest. Something caught my eye and I asked my wife to stop and go back. It was a cafe and the menu seems to be common. I looked down the stairs and what I saw made me take our my camera. It was not a usual cafe that we often see.

Inside the design was strangely unique. Unnatural formation of the interior where pieces of branches and trees makes up the place. Not only that as I noticed that there were also pieces of metal, cement, glass and a little bit of everything were incorporated.

Strange formation of pillars were arranged in unusual places and it may seem that you could get lost within the trees and branches. This compels you to explore more and not think about the food as you are surrounded by art.

It seems there are three levels in this cafe and each level has a different restaurant. I was on level one around me I had a feeling of confusion, amazement and fascination all into one. I had trouble finding the tables but they are there if you take a closer look.

I saw the menu but I could not pick it up to check as I was very pre occupied checking the walls and the structure. I'm sure they have good food but I felt it was more like an art gallery.

There are some chairs there and I think a table on the right side. The place is so surreal and normally we would see a lot of chairs and tables. A pillar there in the middle made from cement and made to look like a tree. Even the floor is set up in a very unusual way. Large rocks that were laid down and cemented to look like you are on a foot of some mountain.

I went up the second level and the theme was different from the first level. Asian and still very unique. Metal frames on the floor and woven basket like roof. A table there on the left corner that seems to be only for one person.

Also part of the second level which is more cafe looking with decent number of tables and chairs. Looks like people come here for the burgers.

I wanted to grab a table and try their food but my kids were waiting back in our place. We had to go but I will try to go back if time permits to check the third level. This place has so much to offer, could be a hidden gem and a great place for tourist to visit.

We left still with the feeling of confusion but attracted to it's uniqueness. An amazing place which tells us that sometimes we need to get lost in order to discover and leaving with a mystery. I would have loved to talk to someone who could explain the architecture but sometime no explanation is required if you like what you see.

Time to get some rest for now as I'm spent from walking around. Hope you enjoyed my discovery for today and hope to see you again tomorrow.

Have a good evening Steemians!

Oh! How fun!! Looks like a great way to start a vacation! Have a wonderful time!

Thanks Melinda. We have been out the whole day and the kids are having a blast. Will be sharing a lot soon 😊

Great! I see you've found Ili-Likha. Bat san kayo napunta at napadaan kayo jan? hehe. Di kita yan sa center not unless yan talaga dadayuhin. May issue ito about structure kasi dinaan lang eto sa aesthetics. Buti nga nag decide sila patibayin. Mukhang natimingan nyo ang malakas na ulan sa hapon. Di naman ganto the past few days. Nun umulan ng malakas naalala ko kayo. Sana walang naulanan :D

Last time we have been here was like 7 years ago. Cavite to Baguio trip used to take 12 hrs. Now 6 hrs na lng. Was so excited to roam around session road we were trying to find some local food. Ayun right turn tapos kung saan saan na kami na daan lol. Cool place sana natikman namin food. My wife decided na mag kfc na lng lol. Thanks for the concern na trap kami for more than an hour din sa tabi ng botanical garden. Di tuloy kami naka ikot dun.

Tagal na din. Wala pa yata yun Ili-Likha nun. Nag monster burger sana kayo dun hehe.

Mejo matagal nga yun ulan e. Usually ilang seconds lang. Naipon ata. Sayang dami din bago sa Botanical ngayon. Kung napansin nyo yun elephants dun, gift ng Thailand sa city last year yun :D
