The Most Beautiful Starbucks in the Philippines

It was featured in When in Manila and ABS CBN blog site as the most beautiful starbucks in the Phillipines. Since we were already in Tagaytay, I've asked Gelo if we can drop by, have a drink, chill and see if this place will wow us.. :)

Location:

This branch is located in Twin Lakes, along the main highway in Tagaytay-Nasugbu road.

Sharing some of our photos below. Be the critic if this is really the most beautiful starbucks in our country:) 

Food Tripping: Tagaytay Mahogany Market

So it’s our 7 Wedding Monthsary. I woke up very early, took a bath and dressed up- not my usual weekend. Neither of us discussed what the plans for today. It’s been 7 months after the wedding, I felt the need to celebrate Love but I didn’t say any word to my husband except for a morning kiss and greetings “Happy monthsary!.” He was looking at me while I’m dressing up (para kasing babaeng nagaayos para hindi maleyt sa date nya) haha! Maybe he got it already; I want him to date me. Actions speak louder than words. So he also prepared afterwards. 

Perks of being married- no more pakipot moves. I want a date, so I dressed up, whether he wants it or not- we’re going for a date. Walang tanong tanong.  Walang sagot sagot. Automatic alam na! *laughs*

Both unprepared. While driving, he asked me where do I want to go..

“Take me wherever you want, I’ll go with you love”.—cheeziness! 

goofing around with le hubby <3

Driving habit: Holding hands

Pandy and Bebear lead the way.

So he just continued driving. The nearest sweet and ideal place to spend some downtime-Tagaytay! Just about an hour away from Makati :’> walang sawang Tagaytay! Our favorite place for escapade, everytime gusto naming magchillax at magbulalo. Dun naman kame nagkakasundo- sa foodtripan! 

While we are in SLEX, we asked each other what particular place to visit, where to eat, etc. Then he remembered the Mahogany Market- Home of the Famous Beef- Bulalo Haven. Finally! Tagal na din kasi namin gusto yun puntahan.

How to get there?

Public Vehicle: You can ride a jeep with route passing by “NBI Tagaytay” or all buses going to Nasugbu, and Balayan, Batangas. Just tell the driver/conductor to drop you off at Mahogany.

Private Vehicle: From Tagaytay Rotonda or  Junction, go straight to the road going to Batangas. When you reach the Petron Gasoline Station, take the road going right and look for the Hall of Justice Building which is located at the right side of the road. The market is at the back of the building.

Tagaytay Mahogany Market 

The Mahogany market in Tagaytay is famous for its beef/bulalo.

Sabi nga nila, this is one of the places in Tagaytay na hindi mo dapat mamiss puntahan. Lalo na if first time mo and gusto mo makatikim ng super sarap na bulalo. It is also known for the variety of fresh fruits and vegetables being sold in the market.

There are also vendors selling Filipino delicacies/dried foods and souvenir stuff to bring back home around the market. There are also herbs, bonsai plants, flowering plants and many more.

Tawilis and Danggit for only 100 php (50 each)

First stop: The Famous Eatery which is featured in GMA Pinoy Foodies and Delmonte Kitchenomics: The Alegres’s Canteen - the best Bulalo in Tagaytay.

Reading other blogs, reviews and considering officemate’s suggestion- we decided to eat at Alegre’s Canteen.

There are variety of yummy foods.

 But we ordered our all time favorite:

The Best Bulalo 350 php

Tawilis- a must try 100

 

Unli Free Banana <3

suka (vinegar) for sawsawan - FTW

Overall, we had a delightful dining experience. Best Bulalo in Tagaytay + Tawilis (my bagong paborito hihi) +Unli Banana =Solb! 

The next time you go to Tagaytay City do not forget to pass by Mahogany Market for your fresh fruit, plant, and beef ‘pasalubong’ or souvenir and try at least their famous bulalo. :">
