Tagaytay Craziness

Uze, Verna and I went to Tagaytay last Saturday (Mar 19, 2011) to have breakfast. The first plan was to have breakfast in Tagaytay then go to Balibago Complex to have a street food escapade and then to Santa Rosa Plaza to eat Goto/Arroz Caldo with tokwa’t baboy and lumpiang shangai.

This is the Itinerary actually;

7am: meet up, Balibago Complex

8am: Breakfast in Cape Lupe Tagaytay

11am: Lunch (still in Tagaytay, kung san matripan kumain)

1pm: Picnic Grove

4pm: back to Laguna

5pm: Street Food in Balibago Complex with Oca

                Fish ball

                Squid ball

                Chicken ball

                Kikiam

                Kwek-kwek

                Proben

                Balat ng manok

                Buko Juice

7pm: Go to Santa Rosa Plaza to eat Goto/ Arroz Caldo, Lumpiang Shanghai, and Tokwa’t baboy

8pm: Go to Rhey-ann’s bday while waiting for SUPERMOON

As usual, lagi naman naiiba ang plano. Hahaha. Most of the time. Right?

So what happen was dumating ako ng 8:30 am (7 am dapat di ba?). Let me explain why I’m late. Late din naman silang dumating. Haha. Mas late nga lang ako.

“Galing pa kasi akong hospital, sinamahan ko si lola na mag pa magic 8 for her regular check up. “ Accepted?

So 8:45am(not sure with that) we left Balibago, then Tagaytay at around 9:30am, to Josephine’s Restaurant at 9:45am. Unfortunately, Breakfast Buffet is only serving until 10am, so we decided to wait for the lunch instead. Lunch is serving at 11am. While waiting, we go to Robinsons Tagaytay (just across the street). We bought some snacks (di pa kasi kami kumakain ng breakfast. Just to have something na light kasi gyera ang pupuntahan naming lunch). I bought snickers, Chicharon ni Mang Juan for Verna, Vega for Uze plus the SMART C.

Eksena sa Supermarket

Me : “Madaming inumin dun”

Uze: “Wala akong pakialam! nauuhaw ako!” (taas ng pitch nyan)

Then we go outside, eat, and took some pictures.

After 30 mins, we decided to go back to Josephine’s, took some pictures (as always). Ang Smart C moment. Haha. Sayang lang, tanghali na pero ang foggy pa din sa tagaytay. Hindi tuloy kita yung view.

It was 10:58 am when they start serving lunch. We weren’t able to take some pictures of the buffet table (halatang gutom, lamon agad. haha). But they served;

                Sinigang soup

                Clam soup (yummy)

                Plain Rice

                Garlic Rice

                Pancit Bihon with Canton

                Chicken Afritada

                Lechon Paksiw

                Ginataang Kalabasa with Sitaw and Alimango (or Ginataang Alimango with Kalabasa and Sitaw)

                                >sarap nito

                Kare-Kare

                Tahong in Basil

                Ensaladang Mangga

                Grilled rib eye

                Grilled liempo

                Grilled Tilapia

                Halo-Halo

                Sago’t Gulaman

               

For the Dessert

                Fresh Pineapple (Tagaytay eh, ala ngan naman mawala yan)

                Watermelon

                Papaya

                Kakanin

                Nilupak

                Gulaman

                Leche flan(Super sarap)

                Tikoy

All for 495 pesos, but with 100 peso discount kapag walang left over. Verdict, The foods was ok. Nothing exciting. Haha. But the leche flan, uhmm. YumYum Yummy! My favorite of all dishes served.

*Tips kapag buffet/eat all you can ang pinuntahan mo:

                “Wag na mag rice. Mura lang ang rice. Ulam na lang kainin mo. Remember, mabilis makabusog ang rice.”

                “But if it’s Paella or Risotto, sige lamon lang ng lamon ng rice.”

“Check nyu muna yung buffet table kung trip nyu yung foods. Like in my case, I was expecting dishes with

                prawns/shrimps kaso wala. Haha. Sana di na kami nag buffet. Haha.”

Back to Robinson’s Tagaytay after a heavy yummy meal in Josephine’s Restaurant. Ma-experience lang yung arcade. Haha. Then off to Picnic Grove. Syempre anu pa, picture-picture.

Eksena sa Picninc Grove

Girl : “Ang daya ni kuya na ka telescope” (high pitch sya)

               

-Binocular kaya  yun. Telescope telescope.

Then back to Laguna, but unfortunately, It was really traffic that time, so 7pm na kami na ka balik ng laguna, imagine, wala pang 5 pm umalis na kami ng Tagaytay. And the 3 of us ay sobrang naiihi na. Walang pansinan nung dumating ng Balibago, deretso CR. Haha.

After peeing, I decided to go home, verna to SM to fix her timesheet and Uze to Molino for her friends Bday.

That day was really tiring but it was full of fun. I’ll definitely miss verna kapag lumipad na sya.
