Anidu offers you favorite Cordillera dishes. They have moved to this new location which used to be a Korean Restaurant before. I love what they have done to the place and how wider it seems now.
They seriously made the presence of Cordillera through the decors they made.
Horns of animals are popular decors. Woodcraft is also one of skills of Cordillerans and that is shown in the wine holder, the furnitures and some wall decors. Wines sold here are locally made like strawberry, bugnay, etc. On that note, cocktails and local beers are also served here.
Designs of weaving differ from region to region and some of it are shown here.
Clay pots are also seen displayed aside from woven baskets.
Their menu has variations of Cordilleran cuisine. You have choices for individual serving or for groups.
We settled for Pinunug which is an Ifugao smoked meat sausage. This is different from Benguet's blood sausage called Pinuneg.
We also tried their Bulalo or Beef Stew claimed to be cooked for hours.
We ordered rice to go with all that.
We started with coffee while waiting for our order.
Waiting time for our order took less than 10 minutes.
This is my first time eating Pinunug. It is served on a bed of fresh cabbage and slices of tomatoes on the side and a slice of lemon. I tasted the sausage and I can taste a hint of fat. Some are chewy while others are soft. I could taste some salt in there and some sweetness but nothing more. Adding the lemon and cabbage adds a zest and different texture to it. It also has that smokey taste to it which makes everything a palate adventure.
Their Bulalo is tasty and hot, perfect for this bed weather we have, rain and fog. Drinking that beef hot appealing soup makes one's mouth water. Their version has a slice of corn, some Baguio beans and cabbages and other spices to taste. Sinking your teeth to that softened meat just makes you want to come back for more.
Adding in the ever present chili pepper to every meal makes it even more better. Their rice is what we call red rice and also has smokey taste to it which makes me think it was cooked using wood. It takes me back to the days when we were young whem we cooked rice uaing wood.

We started and ended with locally grown coffee. One order of coffee has refill so better take advantage of that.
Our bill comes in this wooden holder which showcases Cordilleran woodcarving skill.
All in all, it is a great experience. We were served well. The place feels like home and comfortable with pleasant ambiance. Food is great and enjoyable. Price is competitive and worth it. We did experience Anidu although not literally. Anidu means to be warmed by the fire.
Aside from pork and beef, they also serve duck, chicken, vegetables ans fruit shake
They only accept cash here. Parking is limited but enough if the place is not full.
