Work in Progress 2.0: "Last Minute" Tagaytay Trip

July 27, 2013

while this was trip was planned ahead, due to the heavy rains last Friday night, it was nearly postponed and I only got confirmation lang early Saturday morning that we were pushing through na.

first question when we all got together was of course, where to eat lunch. haha. normally Jeff and I would go to Green ATS for our usual bulalo fix.

Mam Noki suggested we try the restaurant at Tagaytay Econo Inn which was recommended to her by a friend. kaso since the place was right on the tip of the road up Tagaytay, medyo lumampas na kami and we decided to try another place she suggested: Bali Seafood Paluto Restaurant

she got to go there recently and the food was good daw there. I guess masarap nga siguro talaga kasi we saw JLC there with his crew

our orders finally came: Fried Tawilis, Nilagang baka (haha dahil mas mahal ang Bulalo), Baked Tahong, Pinakbet and Fresh Buko Juice

timely rin na dumating ang trio na ito. while we were not too fond of these singing groups, it was impolite to shoo them away, so after 2 songs, we gave a tip na rin so they can move on to the next table na haha.

over-all the food was good naman. particularly liked the tahong and the pinakbet. enjoyed the fresh buko too.

Taste Him daw :p

our group selfie

we then went to Summit Ridge to check out some shops

foggy much

but we ended up at the arcade

first up: hoops!

team effort!

then the Star2Ball

hit that!

after hundreds worth of tokens we got 96 tickets all in all

96 tickets = 5 chocolate candies

hundreds of them in one pack haha

since that turned out to be quite tiring, we decided to go some place else where we can just chill

we were already near the intersection when Mam Noki suggested we check out Breakfast at Antonio's

really like the whole feel of the place

medyo hindi lang sustainable ang menu nila haha

since we still were pretty full from lunch, dessert time!

Chocolate Chips waffle, Brownie and New York Cheesecake

really enjoyed the desserts we had and looking forward to having a full breakfast meal the next time we get to go!

next stop was Mahogany Market!

fresh produce

cheap beef!

my parents requested for fresh buko and got pretty big ones for 15 php each. Jeff bought veggies and meat for Nilaga. Mam Noki and Charlie got a week's worth of meals ata, while Katie got packs of Tawilis

and when we've completed our market errands, we went to the newest Starbucks branch in Tagaytay

the location was quite steep but had excellent view of the lake
