Eway's Grill: Tagaytay Restaurants

For our last night in Tagaytay, we decided to try out the restaurant Eway's Grill, located very near the Tagaytay Haven Hotel. According to the locals, this is a relatively new restaurant that had just opened a few months back.

Dinner at Diner's Café: Tagaytay Restaurants

It started raining as soon as we left the hotel to have our dinner at Diner's Café. For us, this is the best place to try bulalo in Tagaytay. It's been more than 5 years the last time we've been here that the place looked quite different from what I remember (the old place looked carinderia-like, but this one looked like an improved canteen). I'm not sure whether they actually transferred to a new location or they just had the restaurant renovated.

Gumbo - A Taste of New Orleans: Gateway Restaurants

For our fifth year wedding anniversary, hubby surprised me with a lunch reservation at Gumbo Gateway Mall. It's my first time to dine here and I honestly didn't know what to expect. We were greeted at the entrance by waitresses wearing fancy headdresses, more like fascinators actually.

Lunch at Mahogany Market: Tagaytay Budget Eats

From the Picnic Grove, we then went to Mahogany Market for a budget lunch. Mahogany Market is actually famous for the numerous food stalls to the side across the main market, serving beef bone marrow soup or bulalo at a more affordable price compared to the restaurants located along the highway. Here, you are assured that the meat and ingredients used are fresh since they are located just right across the market. They also serve exotic dishes such bull testicles, tripe and intestines as local delicacies.

Breakfast at Maryridge Good Shepherd Sisters' Bahay Pastulan

Day 1: Tagaytay 

For the first day of our 3 days, 2 nights Tagaytay-Nasugbu vacation, hubby and the kids fetched me from the office so we can head directly to Tagaytay City. We reached Tagaytay at around 7am, and thinking it was too early to enter Picnic Grove, we decided to drive around and chanced upon the Good Shepherd signage. Hubby said he wanted to buy his favorite ube jam, so we decided to have our breakfast there as well.

The Gathering Cafe and Tanay Hills Coffee Beanery: Tanay Restaurants

The Gathering Cafe: Tanay Hills Coffee Beanery and Grill House

One early morning, while on our way to visit Our Lady on the Hills at Regina RICA, we passed by this signage that says The Gathering Cafe. With hubby having to fetch me early straight from work, we were quite hungry so we became curious and decided to check it out.

Sweet Ambet's: Puerto Princesa Restaurants

Day 3:  Merienda at Sweet Ambet's

After dropping by Immaculate Conception Cathedral and Plaza Cuartel, we walked around in search for a place where we can eat merienda. We passed by Sweet Ambet's signage and we went in to have a taste of its chaolong.

KaLui Restaurant: Puerto Princesa Restaurants

 

 Day 3: Dinner at KaLui Restaurant



Behind the gates of KaLui



After our long day of having the Honda Bay Island Hopping tour and Part 2 of the City tour, it was time for dinner. We already called KaLui Restaurant the day before for our 8 pm reservations, their second batch of serving dinner. Their first batch was at 6pm, and we found it too early since we planned on doing the remaining stops of the City tour we had missed that afternoon.

Kinabuchs Grill and Bar: Puerto Princesa Restaurants

Day 2: Dinner at Kinabuchs Grill and Bar

Kinabuchs Bar

We decided to have dinner at Kinabuchs Grill and Bar after our Underground River Tour. This is one of the most famous restaurants in Puerto Princesa, being one of the few restaurants serving crocodile meat and tamilok, a local delicacy. Its name was derived from 2 words: kina (at) and Butch (the name of the owner), literally meaning at Butch's place.
