If you ever want to get away from the city, there's always Tagaytay (1-2 hour drive from Manila) to…read moreanswer your "where to next question". Whenever a roadtrip down south to Tagaytay is mentioned, bulalo (beef stew) and coffee automatically comes to mind. But, a visit to Bawai's will change your Tagaytay itinerary forever. For starters, this hidden gem is the brainchild of a Filipino-Vietnamese couple, who want to share with the world their love for good vietnamese food, so they put up a restaurant and named it Bawai which means grandmother. When you plan to visit, be sure to call ahead and reserve a table because the place gets packed easily. Everything on the menu is a treat, but, my usual staple order is the fresh springrolls (Goi Cuon) as well as the Vietnamese hot coffee (Ca phe Sua Nong) and their tamarind prawn shrimps.

Reserve a table on the outside terrace for the best experience and avail of their bottomless ICED TEA the best I've had so far, it's super refreshing. Crispy Crablets (220 PHP) Order this for a good start. It won't disappoint. Crispy Tawilis (210 PHP) The Tawilis sardines are found only in the Taal Lake. This is a must order when visiting Taalena. Ensaladang Talong (135 PHP) A fresh and healthy dish that you eat in between the rest of their food. I find it as a good palate cleanser. Kare Kare (450 PHP) The sauce was thin and could use some improvement, which I'm sure has improved with our suggestions. Crispy Pata (595 PHP) Decent crisp and meat to bone ratio, and enough flavour to be considered good. It remained crispy despite the wind and cool weather which should consider when dining in Tagaytay in general. Tortang Talong (215 PHP) It's not going to be something you'd remember or even rave about it's just that ordinary with an elevated price. So the food isn't the best in Tagaytay, but don't let that discourage you from experiencing their wonderful ambiance. They have a band that goes around each table playing various melodies from the oldies to the current hits. It's a nice addition to their already outstanding atmosphere. They even a large green space on the lower floor for kids to run around and play.

The first morning I had silog with tamarind chicken and pork asada, and lots of crispy Danggit! The congee was amazing! U added every topping possible plus fresh calamansi juice! Also had lychee chia pudding one morning and blueberry the next. The lycée was absolutely delicious! We consumed heaps of the most delicious dragon fruit. Now onto the pastries!! One morning they had bread and butter pudding squares and the other morning they had taisan bread. Both were so scrumptious!! Our server Harven was a delight! Friendly, got us warm milk, and answered my 6 million questions! We also took pictures in the back patio that overlooked Laguna de Bay. Beautiful views in every direction. They also had pineapple and mango jam! New jam flavors to me that were delicious on my cream cheese filled French toast. My husband also tries the miso ramen and the fresh salad with a great sesame dressing. In other words, we ate everything, everyone was so friendly and the views are incredible.

Though it operates as a rooftop bar and restaurant, they also offer buffet breakfast for in-house guests. FOOD: 3/5 The overall food selection was quite limited, primarily a mix of Filipino, American, Chinese and other International dishes. The food was decent but could have been better overall. SERVICE: 5/5 I noticed that most of the servers were male while a few female staff at the food counter. Regardless, all of them were attentive, polite, and efficient. AMBIANCE: 4/5 Being at the rooftop, the restaurant provides a full view of the city. I can only imagine how much more stunning these views at night with the city lights. It also features a mini pool - not for use but aesthetically for decor which I believe needs a little polishing and renovation. Overall, the buffet breakfast at The Nest did its job - it fill us up in the morning, though I wished there was a wider selection. And I take my hats off to the staff at The Nest - their service were on point!

You have to have a lot of trust in your driver when you visit the PH because they can fit their vehicles into some crazy small spaces lol the restaurant is located in a rural area which is what made the little driving adventure all the more fascinating because you have no idea what's around you or where you are anymore but once you arrive it's like you've been transported to a completely different place than the area you just drove through. As soon as we arrived we were led to this beautiful outdoor area to wait on our table. It had a full bar and restrooms but I want to say the outdoor waiting area was my favorite part of the restaurant it was stunning and a perfect place for drinks before dinner. There is a pretty strict dress code so do your research before hand so you have no issues upon arrival. The food is on the pricier side but that's to be expected given the ambiance and the quality of everything they serve. The staff and their service was impeccable. From the moment we parked and walked to the outdoor area we were waited on and served. The staff is very attentive and quick to cater to your every need. We ordered so much I can't remember the name of every dish but everything we ordered exceeded our expectations. Would definitely recommend Antonio's for special occasions.

The first pick of everyone for a delectable taste option. It was not a disappointment. I may have tried different Asian cuisines at different times but this place has by far serves cuisines that you could try at one visit. There were no regrets on this visit. The following stands out and satisfied my taste pallettes: Vietnamese spring roll Special crispy tawalis Balinese satay prawn Crispy pork belly in hoisin sauce Beef tenderloin roll ....that all the above perfectly matched with Bagoong fried rice. Each has unique delectable flavor, fitting to the restaurant's slogan. Mixed and match Asian fusion cuisne has made the meet up more entertaining and pleasurable. The place is classy, the chandeliers and the table arrangement level up the place into a fine dining restaurant. A good and perfect place for celebration. Don't be intimated, the menu price is very affordable. They have wide selection of beverages too. I had a good dining experience aside I was with good company. We were there at the right moment, they just open up. No trouble with service, with seating and the food presentation. Oh well, the advantage of being early birds paid off. A well recomemnded place.

I've heard and read about Neil's Kitchen for years now from friends and food bloggers alike but…read moreI've never had the chance to try it even though this location (their first and original location) is super close to our house. My friends planned a "South Saturday lunch" so that we can hang out in my neck of the woods instead of going all the way to Makati to hangout. Luckily I got a table immediately before the crowds arrived and a queue was formed. We ordered the following to share: 1. Tokwa't (Tofu) and Baboy (Pork) - we all enjoyed this appetizer that we ordered more fried tofu. The sauce was tangy and sweet while the tofu was cooked really well, crisp outside and soft inside. The pork was tasty and crispy as well. Loved the flavours and the textures in this dish 2. Crab fat pasta with crab cakes - the pasta wasn't too overpowering but you can def taste the crab fat. The crab cakes were made with real crab and they didn't scrimp on it. Great dish! 3. Sinigang paella and pork belly - one of their most popular dishes at Neil's Kitchen (we actually ordered two!). The sinigang in the paella was a great way to do a different take to sinigang and the pork belly was delicious. 4. Kare-kare with bagoong rice - kare kare was great with the distinct peanut taste and loved the veggies too. The bagoong rice was a nice accompaniment to the dish. Overall, I'm glad I finally tried Neil's Kitchen and next time I want to try their desserts.

Generous amount of veggies. Would have liked the sauce to be thicker and have a stronger peanut taste. - Squid Sisig: Never had squid as sisig before and this was interesting. They did it well as it wasn't rubbery at all. Good portion size. - Garlic Rice: Good amount of garlic flakes, would have liked a stronger garlic undertone. - Halo Halo: The star was the two scoops of icecream. The rest of it was meh. A bit heavy handed on the ice. - Icecream: Got a scoop of the taho and it came with the classic syrup and boba. The icecream was smooth and the flavour came across strongly. Pricey but I guess you pay up for the ambiance. Go early as this place gets absolutely packed and frenzy. Explore the rest of Tagaytay while you're there.
