Holy thursday bonding at Leslie's Restaurant, Tagaytay

Most of my friends were having their residency already and this holy week is the only time that we'll be able to meet each other.

We initially plan to visit Pangasinan and tour Alaminos and Ian's home as well but due to a lot of reasons (i.e. schedule conflicts, unable to buy bus tickets, etc.) we decided to spend the holy week in Tagaytay instead.

I have been to Tagaytay for a couple of times but I have never tried Leslie's or Josephine's. My friends then opted to dine on either restaurant.

Tagaytay was so populated today. Traffic was everywhere. Super hassle. Good thing Leslie's Restaurant can still accommodate customers even though they have a lot of patrons today.

We ordered for a couple of spicy foods. 

Laing con Hipon (Php 249)

The laing con hipon was ok. This one was not spicy but the shrimp was cooked well. 

Seafoods Bicol Express (Php 399)

Karen also wanted to try the seafood bicol express. I find the dish cool as well since I often eat bicol express that is made of pork. Anyway, the seafood bicol express is superb. A must try dish. It was not so spicy and very flavorful. My new fave.

Bulalo Special (Php 999)
Of course, we will never miss Tagaytay's famous bulalo... Yum! Yum!

More than the food we also enjoyed the serenade of the restaurant's house singers and acoustic players. We also had a great time catching up while waiting for the traffic to subside.

Hay! You can never go wrong with great friends and great restaurant. Two thumbs up for Leslie's Restaurant.

A not so great experience after all: Mer-Ben Tapsilogan sa Tagaytay

So my mom and dad decided to visit Tagaytay once again and had lunch at the area. My dad was picking if we will eat at Mer-Ben or at Bulalo Point and since I haven’t tried eating at Mer-Ben we agreed to try eating at the restaurant.

OVERVIEW:
This is located in #52 Aguinaldo Highway, Crossing Mendez East, Tagaytay City. For commuters, this restaurant is found along the main highway and Tagaytay buses pass thru the front of this restaurant.




SERVICE:
They have attentive waitress but I was not aware if they serve fast because I was distracted with the beautiful scenery on the roof top of the restaurant (view of Mt. Taal).





FOODIES:

Extra Special Bulalo (Med) Php 380
Their bulalo (medium size) is good for 3 already. It was really tasty. I love it. (: They even gave us a lot of beef meat which make it sulit.

Kare-Kare Php 200
I don’t really like their kare-kare. It was bland tasting. My parents do not enjoy eating it either.

Sweet and Sour Lapu- Lapu (small) Php 200
I do not eat this fish so I never got to take a taste of it but my father said that it was badly cooked. He also said that he like that one in Dampa better.

Shrimp Tempura Php 350
Their tempura doesn’t look like a tempura at all. The serving is too few also.

If you come to pass by this restaurant I recommend for you to try their bulalo. Try their other dishes as well but probably not those that we have ordered.

Bittersweet Symphony Verse 2: Organized Clutter

This is basically the same template as my version 1. I just edited few codes and add more icons and blog pets as well (see bottom of page). But then my scatterbrain still needs her notepad so I'm sticking with this. (:

Feel free to browse thru my musings/rants/escapades as I tour around my country (and hopefully beyond)... Enjoy! :)
