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.

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.

Rosa is becoming a foodie destination! Good but not that great. Vietnamese food is characterized by freshness and simplicity- a delicious excuse to eat your veggies! Bawai's is a healthier option when eating out. Enjoyed their salads and fresh rolls more than the mains. The coconut sprout salad aka Bawai's Salad won me over. Pho Bo was too oily and lacking that herbal kick of cilantro. They don't serve it with fresh basil nor bean sprouts. Salmon and chicken are forgettable. Not a fan of pork but was told by my tablemates it was amazingly tender. A bit on the pricey side for what you're getting but service is spot on. Food comes out fairly fast even about 3/4 of their tables were occupied. Weird restroom door made of frosted glass. I wouldn't use the loo there if I were you.

And then they have the papaya salad which tastes like the Filipino atchara. I don't really care if it's Italian, Thai or Korean. All I care about is it gives me satisfaction every time I dine there.

We decided to have a light dinner here and had their sisig dish which was a pork based stir fry with some peppers, sugars and other condiments that mixes well with the rice and other condiments. This was very tasty and perfect for our dinner menu. We also had their grilled Tanigue which was perfectly cooked, not burnt and not stale, which brought out the taste of the fish. They also served rice to complement these dishes, it was a perfect and complementary carb for us to enjoy what we call a light dinner. For dessert, we had their Halo-Halo, which was made perfectly well and included a cacophony of sweetened beans, sago and many other little combinations which encapsulated a summer cooking food for our palates. So, if you're in Tagaytay, you can't go wrong on Gerry's Grille, they do deliver the best food, in this part of the Philippines!

While not every dish was a standout, the overall quality and service made it worth the visit. We tried the Pancit Canton, Caldereta, Lumpia Shanghai, Chicken Kebabs, and Pork Adobo Fried Rice. The Pancit Canton was excellent--more on the saucy side, which I like better than the drier style. The Pork Adobo Fried Rice was easily one of the best dishes of the night, with tender, well-seasoned pork and perfectly cooked rice. The Chicken Kebabs were another highlight, featuring a wonderful grilled, charred smokiness that really elevated the dish. The Lumpia Shanghai was solid--crispy and well-seasoned--but it wasn't a standout compared to the other dishes. The only minor disappointment was the Caldereta, which had a good sauce and flavor, but they left the bones in the dish, and some of the meat was a bit gristly. I know leaving the bones in is more of a preference issue for me because some people like the bones left in. Despite the minor letdown with the Caldereta, I'd definitely return for the quick service and overall great food. If you're craving Filipino classics in a casual setting, Gerry's at Nuvali is a great choice!

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.
