We took a day trip to visit friends in Tagaytay and decided to eat bulalo, the region's famous…read morespecialty. We chose Diner's because of its view of the Taal Volcano and valley between. We were greeted by all of the wait staff as soon as we entered. We were seated fairly quickly at a table with a fantastic view amidst the bright and airy dining room. After ordering, our food cane out quickly. We had the pork sisig, bulalo and tawalis with some steamed white rice. The sisig, chopped pork belly with red onions and spicy peppers was served to us sizzling on a hot cast iron plate. It didn't look exactly as pictured on the menu because the egg was already mixed into the dish instead of on top sunny side up. The bulalo came out on a steel pot with a burner at the bottom. The tawalis, mini fried fish, looked appetizing on top of a bed of lettuce, cucumber and tomato. All of our dishes tasted delicious. The sisig was pretty spicy because of all the chopped peppers but besides that it had a great combination of flavors that went well with the hot steamed rice. I thought the dish could have been pre-cooked just a little longer before it got to us or the skillet could have been even hotter though....was a little worried the pork didn't cook long enough. (This review was written several hours later and I'm happy to report there were no stomach issues!). The tawalis was ok. These were mini fish dusted with flour and fried. The batter was not heavy however I thought it could have had a little more seasoning. I dipped the fish in a calamansi/soy sauce mixture that helped a lot. You eat the fish whole...bones and all! The order came with twelve pieces and was plenty for our party of five. The star of the show, the bulalo, did not disappoint. Our order meant for four to five people was perfect. There were large chunks of beef shank and generous pieces of green cabbage immersed in the most amazing broth. The beef is slow cooked several hours so it is tender and oh so flavorful. It was a great experience eating the dish with a bit of steamed rice. It would have been perfect if there were a few more vegetables like potatoes and green beans. Overall we enjoyed our meal and thought the prices were reasonable. I would definitely come back the next time we are in the area!

We went for the view....from the open seating you can see the whole valley and the volcano. Saying…read morethe view is stunning isn't good enough....it's more like incredibly stunning, yes, that's more like it! But....view alone would not make us want to come back....as there are several other places with that same view. What will bring us back is the delicious local cuisine! We ordered the Special Bulalo. It's a hearty beef soup served in a clay pot. It's made with fresh beef shanks and bone marrow. It says it serves 2-3 people....I'd say 3 for sure if you're ordering even one more side dish. We also ordered Adobong Manor as Gata, a chicken Adobo slow cooked in coconut milk and soy sauce. It had a hint of ginger and was a bit salty, I ate it served over garlic rice.....very nice dish! Last but not least we ordered Christy Tawilis....fried sardines. Next time I'm getting the fresh coconut for my drink....the next table over ordered that and I instantly regretted my beer choice!

I truly enjoyed all the dishes but especially liked the black squid calamari (I believe that was the name). I took pics of almost everything we ordered and while the pics look delicious, the taste was 100x more! We were full but still decided to order dessert with the hot chocolate which was the perfect ending. Highly recommend this spot!

I was let down by the poor service we received during our time here at Bag of Beans. We ordered refillable Houseblend coffee and Kapeng Barako, but we were not able to really maximize the bottomless option. The servers were not as visible during our stay there, and we constantly had to call for one's attention. The servers can also be better trained to roam more frequently and be available for assistance. Another issue and big dissapointment I had was the Cold Brew Lemon & Mint they have in their menu. I don't think I will be alone to assume that this beverage will also be locally brewed and prepared like their coffee, but unfortunately that was not the case. The cold brew order turned out to be just a glass of cold water with a tea bag sachet branded Ahmad Tea London. To top it all off, the cold water mug they served has an ant in it. I had to request for a new mug, but the replacement mug of cold water also took too long to arrive. It was at least good enough that they have a good overlooking view going for them to soften the blow of bad service we experienced during our time.

Perhaps, because they were far far away :) Most of the people we expect are from Calamba, Laguna; thus, may have found the venue a few liters of gasoline from their budget hahaha Anyway, the servings were awesome. Only food we were critical was the pork bbq and my reason for a bit of a low rating of 4. I'd like to give a 4.5 but Yelp donot allow half-a-point rating :) Nonetheless, the pork bbq was edible; we polished the entire bbq at home. There were lots of leftovers: karekare, bulalo soup dish, bagnet, protong bangus. The bagnet is to die for :) Damn, except for the pork bbq, everything was delicious. Oh... the servers and staff were polite.

There was a lot of flies that we couldn't really enjoy our meal coz we were too busy trying to make sure they don't land on our food. Bathroom was a little stinky. I feel that it's not worth driving here thru traffic from Manila and you're not even sure if you can get in... it's hard to find parking at noon so either come early or late but don't come at noon. I was gonna give it 3 stars but the wait staff were nice... they deserve another star.

BEST DESSERTS!!!…read more It's been 4 months since we last visited the Philippines and El Hubby and I are still talking about Conti's HALO-HALO and MANGO BRAVA CAKE. Their halo-halo was classic with the ube ice cream and flan on top and had enough beans and jelly on the bottom. It's crunchy, cold and so delicious. The Mango Brava Cake was memorable. It's a frozen cake with layers of cashew meringue wafers, chocolate mousse, cream and real mango chunks. It's sooo good! Besides dessert, they also serve Filipino, American and Italian food. I had LENGUA ESTOFADO and El Hubby had MUSSELS and MUSHROOM PASTA and they were all delish. Keep in mind that their portions are on the smaller side but you will still leave satisfied. I really miss Conti's. Wished we could've dined more than once.
