If you're pretty much a long time reader of my blog, you'd probably guessed that I love everything about the South. Born and raised in Manila, Tagaytay is the most accessible relaxation place for me and I never get tired of it.
Two weeks ago, together with my mom and brother, we checked in at Chateau Royale, just minutes away from Tagaytay. Unfortunately, I wasn't really able to enjoy our stay at this luxurious hotel and resort because I was having a bad headache that day and no thanks to cough and colds, it made my stay there miserable. :(
On our way to Tagaytay, I've been asking my brother this question over and over again "San tayo kakain?" it's not a secret that I love food, and that has been my constant question whenever I go some place else.
So are you ready to know where we ate? Haha!
Well, it's not something new to me anymore since I grew up loving this restaurant. My last memory of it was when I was still around 5 years old and it was memorable just because, the waiter unintentionally dropped the palayok of Sinigang on my dad's back. He was really really furious back then. But they made up for it so no worries. :)
The Mutya ng Cavite soup (Php 320) didn't change a bit the first time I tasted it. It's pretty much a bolabaise soup with a much thicker and creamier feel in your mouth with a generous amount of seafood in it.
My personal choice is this baked mussels (Php 240). I love everything with cheese that's why I couldn't resist finishing the whole plate all to myself. Though I kind of feel bad for my mom and kuya for they weren't able to have a single bite on these babies right here.
It's topped with melted cheese baked to perfection that brought satisfaction to my raging taste buds. (FYI, I was on PMS that moment too)
Their Lechon Kawali (Php 295) is not so much of a favorite. It was not bad but it's just that it tasted normal and was not at all crispy.
Plus the fact that my cholesterol level reached its peak because of this killer fats right here.
My brother's personal favorite was this Tortang Alimango (Php 190). I wasn't really expecting it to look like this. I was kind of eyeing for something with shells but it turned out that the restaurant prepared this for our convenience.
Two words: ZE BEST! It was the best ever tasting tortang alimango I tasted my whole life!
So have you guessed what restaurant is this? Keep on reading! :)
Sorry for my mom's haggard face. Actually we all are tired from the trip. Hahaha
That's me being a pig right there. #apologies
For dessert, my mom and kuya shared on this buko salad. (Php 90)
While I enjoyed my Bluberry Cheescake (Php 90)
The moon was perfect that night. It shone brightly and it felt so near.
Dining in here brought back childhood memories. No doubt, I will always love this place and I'll never get tired driving for two hours just to revive the past.
Yes, Jospehine. You hold a special place in my heart. :)
