guess who was born on Labor Day


It was my mom's birthday last Friday! Since my dad also wanted to check out the nurseries in Tagaytay (nursery ng halaman, hindi ng mga babies. Okay, fine, gardens na nga lang), we had lunch there sabay pasyal na rin. First stop was Bag of Beans.


Last time I was there, umuulan at parang may bagyo. This time, makulimlim ang panahon. Since there were several typhoons in the country, super lamig sa Tagaytay, parang Baguio. Masarap mag-kape.



Kodakan muna habang wala pa yung food. Only my young cousin Wig was missing that day.




The food? Masarap lahat ang na-order namin. Hehehe. Mushroom soup, steak ala pobre, grilled tanigue, fish and chips, chicken ala kiev, etc. These are definitely not fastfood menu. Pati presyo, hindi rin pang-fastfood.


After eating, I finally had a chance to take a short tour of the place -- never got to do that the first time I went here in 2007. Sturdy-looking picnic table and benches. Take note of that blue orchid thingie na nakasabit sa puno. You'll see it again.


This door leads to a new covered area. When asked by my dad, the staff said they usually transfer guests eating in the courtyard there kapag bumuhos bigla ang ulan. Nice.


These pocket resting areas in the courtyard remind me of Sonya's Garden. Parang maganda magkaron ng ganito sa farmita.


I really liked this tree with the red and yellow orchids hanging from the branches.


Another nice place to hangout. Love the bench. That's my Seoul sister trying it out.


A small Bag of Beans. Cute noh? Found this inside the bakeshop / coffeeshop.


Sa Bag of Beans... may bags of beans! Hehehe. Their coffee was good, but we didn't buy one bag though.


Tinapay, made in Tagaytay. Mom liked the dinner rolls served at lunch so she bought the last availale dozen (not seen in picture).


Okay, where to next? Pink Sisters or Ming's Garden?
