I've been wanting to escape the busy city and have a taste of the relaxing ambiance of nearby provinces. So on my 33rd natal day, I decided to go to Tagaytay. At exactly 5:30 A.M., I was already in EDSA hoping to cross Cavite before 7A.M. because it's my coding day. Luckily, at 6:30 A.M, I was already in Bacoor.
Aside from the free slice of cake I got from SB, having this scenic view made my day really special.
Beef Caldereta Php99
The serving is too small with only a few slices of beef.
Laing sa gata with pan fried fish fillet Php99
This rice meal is the real winner! The Laing tastes good and was well complimented by the fried fish fillet. I added some red peppers because I love spicy foods.
Spanish style pasta (white sauce) Php99
Nothing fantastic about this pasta. The sauce would be better if it is creamier.
Tsokolate-Eh (pure tablea) Php90
I'm not a big fan of hot drinks and this is the only hot beverage that I can drink.
Tsok-O-Nut with marsmallow Php99
This one is too sweet for me.
Next stop would be in Sky Ranch where the tallest ferris wheel in the country can be found. Take Tagaytay-Nasugbu highway if you want to try the rides in Sky Ranch. Entrance fee is only Php50.
Sky Eye measures 63 meters with 32 gondolas. A 10 minute ride would cost Php150. I suggest that you try this ride between 4:30 to 6:00 P.M. so that you can see the view all the way from the top. In my case, I was not able to see the view because it's already dark. You can also get a souvenir photo after your ride.
And this is were you can smoke while facing Taal lake.
Josephine Soup Php160
Combination of shrimps, clams and fish fillet with crashed tomatoes. If you don't like sour tasting soup, then this is not for you.
We really wanted to try their famous bulalo but the waiter told us that the serving is too big for us. It's good for 4-5 persons. We decided to try the crispy pata Php 550. The meat is crispy on the outside but juicy inside. Nothing special but not bad either.
For breakfast, I decided to try Bag of Beans. The interior is very nice and spacious and has a homey feel. It's like waking up in your own place.
Iced white mocha Php125
House blend coffee (bottomless) Php140
Breakfast Sampler Php 420
This platter is already good for two and comes with 2 eggs, 2 pork sausages, bacon trips, hash browns, ham, 2 buttermilk pancakes. As always, bacon tastes good with almost everything but their pork sausage is my personal favorite.
Overall, it was a relaxing get away. I was able to celebrate my birthday without having to worry about anything or anyone. A two day vacation enough to relieve my stress while trying different restaurants and going to new places. I'm sure that this will not be my last Tagaytay escapade. And I am hoping to find more beautiful places and to try new dishes.
