Tagaytay

Tagaytay has been a common destination for our family. When looking for a weekend get a way – aside from parks and malls – Tagaytay always comes up as an option. It is only a few kilometers away from Manila but it certainly is worlds apart in terms of view and temperature. There are so many things families can do here. From picture taking at Palace in the sky, to eating and zip lining at Picnic Grove and finally there is the very famous “Bulalo” that is available at virtually all the restaurants here. The rich also find time enjoying games at the PAGCOR Casino, when they are not online. They do visit pokerstars.com, when they don’t have time to go to the real thing, though.

We were there for the birthday celebration of my BIL. After all the sight seeing we settled down to eat the famous bulalo in one of the restaurants at Picnic Grove.  The experience was worth it because the meat tasted so good and so fresh.  For dessert, we ate some fruits like pineapple, mango, and watermelon. We never got enough of the fruits that’s why on the way home we had to stop to buy and bring home. Of course, we also brought home some of the famous buko pie. Tagaytay is really one of the places we can enjoy going whenever we have time. It’s a nice breathe of fresh air and ideal bonding place for the whole family.
