The fog of Baguio hides many things - unfinished dreams, unpaid bills, almost-confessions... and one struggling restaurant fighting to stay alive. Amara thought opening Igorota Gastropub would finally prove that Cordilleran cuisine deserved a place in the modern food scene. Instead, she's drowning in staff shortages, failing marketing gimmicks, slow business days, and customers who think "exposure" can pay rent. Then Nico arrives - quiet, frustratingly calm, and annoyingly good in the kitchen. As the restaurant struggles to survive in the competitive food scene of Baguio City, Amara and her chaotic team try everything: disastrous food reels, weekend markets, smoky pop-ups, questionable social media trends, and recipes built on equal parts passion and panic. Between burnt sauces, mountain fog, and glasses of Tapuey, Amara begins to realize that success isn't just about going viral - it's about finding people willing to stay when the fire gets difficult to hold. Warm, funny, and full of Cordilleran flavor, this is a story about food, love, ambition, and the slow burn of building something worth coming home to. *This is set on a gastropub on Session Road (Punchy Palate Gastropub), my go-to Cordilleran restaurant. Their curated menu, very innovative and spot on for an elevated dining, and the cozy vibe of the restaurant make it a must visit when in Baguio.

Opal Mailo has a plan: climb the corporate ladder, perfect her appearance, and finally belong in the elite world of high finance. Fixing her teeth is next on her list. Dr. Apollo Merrill is the orthodontist she's paying to make it happen. He's a sunbeam in a white coat--kind, maddeningly unreadable, and far too observant. He notices the things no one else does, sees past her careful polish, and looks at her in a way that feels a little too personal. As Opal's teeth straighten, the rest of her life begins to unravel. The burnout is blinding. The pull towards Apollo is inconvenient. The "perfect" version of herself is starting to look like a stranger. Caught between who she's becoming and who she's always been, Opal begins to wonder if perfection is worth the cost--and if maybe she doesn't need to be flawless to be worthy of love.
