Tower Ground Bulalohan in Tagaytay

It was really stormy, but we fought it like pro-firefighters. Amidst the drizzle and cold wind blows, we drove to Tagaytay for that yummy mushroom burger and bulalo.

When we got there, there was a family of eight. From the front side of the establishment, you could see the Taal Volcano in one of the windows.

We did not mind the strong wind, that it even made our eating not really comfortable. But we wanted to eat with the view of the volcano, so we took a seat by the window and did not mind what the waiters were thinking that time. We also ordered fried tawilis. And it's so yummy!

Tagaytay

If you are bored and do not know how to spend a Saturday or Sunday, try strolling around Tagaytay.

If you are coming from Manila, take the exit to Tagaytay. You can go directly to People's Park In The Sky and feel the cold breeze. The picture below was taken when we went there amidst a storm.

Souvenir items are sold at the park. When we were looking for ref magnet that is unique to Tagaytay, the vendors were showing those that have no "Tagaytay touch." There was even a vinta lousily written with "Tagaytay." Where in the hell could you see vinta in that mountainous city? There might be / is something wrong with the tourism campaign of the city.

You can take your breakfast at the Mushroom Burger. Check my post here.

A good alternative is the row of bulalo stores juxtaposed to the Mahogany Market.

 

 As I could see on the banner of the city's market, "Mahogany - Home of Tagaytay Beef" I assume that bulalo here is good. You can also roam around the market and see the different items for sale like ornamental plants and fruits.

 

We saw this one, reminiscent of Wilson from the movie Cast Away.

 

One more round for the beef and flowers of Tagaytay.

 

Tagaytay's Mushroomburger

Mushroomburger attracts many visitors and considered as one of Tagaytay's icons. Its name is a derivative of the main ingredient of the burger patty - mushroom. Two other branches have been opened in front of Ateneo de Manila University and in 91 West Avenue, Quezon City.

Price of burgers range from 30pesos for the Pinoy mushroom burger to 94pesos for the king-sized mushroom burger (in picture).

The mushroom burger steak with adobo egg is super-yummy (96pesos).

The gravy is superb.

This one's Sweet Mushroom Drink, aka mushroom-y gulaman (29pesos).
