Chilling It Out In Tagaytay

I'm usually just home on a weekend but what was initially an invite for lunch in Tiendesitas turned into a daytrip to Tagaytay about 60 km. from Manila and is best known as the second summer capital of the country for it's crisp and cool climate all year round.

We arrived in Tagaytay shortly before lunch and decided to have lunch at Viewpoint. The fare was simple but the company and the conversations that we shared are simply the best. While waiting for our food to be served we took turns having our pictures taken, you should be aware by now that we are never camera shy. We stayed for another hour just to relax and enjoy the view.

Viewpoint has outdoor huts for customers to dine while enjoying the view

Then it was off to Calaruega Church, one of the most popular wedding churches in our country. I've heard about it from Charity and Lai but I've never been to the place.

No wonder these two ladies dreamed of having their wedding there. The church and it's surrounding invoke a fairytale ambiance that every bride dreams of.

All those walking made us hungry again so we found ourselves at Taal Vista Hotel's Cafe on the Ridge. Last minute preparations were being made for a wedding reception near the viewing deck and it served as our visual entertainment while feasting on huge serving of spaghetti bolognese, seafood pasta and clubhouse sandwich.


We then proceeded to the viewing deck to have our photos taken. We had fun teasing Charity who was busy emoting for the camera, and according to her the people around us were having fun watching us. Not yet ready to call it a day, we lounged around the pool area, had more photos taken and just enjoyed our surroundings.

We left just after sunset, tired from all the walking but happy nonetheless because we managed to unwind before starting another busy week.

Seriously..stop posting pictures of food! :) Other than a zillion fried chicken places and the usual fast food fare there isn't much in terms of a place to get a yummy sandwich in Seoul. Unless you want relish, corn nibblets, ketchup, mayo, mustard, sweet pickles, and a tons of other stuff on it! Koreans just haven't mastered the art of sandwich making!!

Hi Shelly,,

I do make my own sandwich but sandwich meats are hard to come by and tuna gets boring..they put weird toppings on everything here..corn nibblets seem to be the most popular you find them in and on just about everything!
