Tikim 60: Mushroom Burger (Tagaytay City)

A long drive down the South, away from the busy city. We went to the South to find a solidarity moment together with my best buddies. As we hit the road of Tagaytay. We saw this intriguing food signage "Mushroom Burger". We heard a lot of good feed backs with their less guilt and less calorie burgers, so we opt to drop by and grab one of their famous burger.

Mushrrooom Burger, along the road side of Brgy. Kaybagal, Tagaytay

 The place is an old fashioned diner, nothing fancy. I wish they can make an improvement to make it more appealing to the customers. But, further than that.. Lets go on and find something to drool on.. The smell of their patties were really enticing....

 If you don't feel like to eat their mushroom burgers, there's other meal that you can order, though we haven't taste it, because we go after their famous burgers, maybe some other time:)

 As we look at the place we saw their mushrooms,they use oyster mushroom and alabone mushrooms. they have their own mushroom farm and cultivate their own mushrooms. Which is something more appealing for me, because you know it's fresh and more liable to eat.

Of course when you know something is big.. You'll go after their King burger which is in my surprise was really good! The smell and the mixed of pure beef and mushroom really goes well.. I really recommend this burger for all you folks!

The King's staggering size, a double deck mushroom and beef patties, they say it is their crowning glory!:)
It has pickles, tomatoes,ketchup and mayo inside and of course their yummy patties! It will also come with fries and drinks (meal) I will not forget their fires, it was really crisp and tender on the inside a plus for them! Next time I will try their  Mushroom Royal Burger which is really looks good. Please go and try their burgers! You won't regret it!

Mushroom Burgers one of the best burgers that I've ever had.. First it is less guilt and less calorie, second the smell is really good something that's not cliche whenever you enter a fast food chain that has burgers they have this distinct smell. Third, it is really affordable and worth the wait.. This a must try stop over when you're in the South! Something new, fresh and healthy!

Tikim4: Food Places you don't want to miss when in Tagaytay

Tagaytay is a nice place to go when you want to escape from the city stress. With cooler breeze and restaurants all over the area, you will surely forget about work! Whenever I go to Tagaytay it somehow equates to food trip! I have developed food favorites here and I am excited to try whenever I learn that there's a new restaurant in town. 

Pamana Restaurant for Lunch
As the name of the restaurant suggests, it serves Filipino cuisine. Nothing much spectacular about the food, the taste was normal for me. What was nice about this restaurant is the concept that followed through its menu, table setting, and interiors! The Taal Lake view is big plus!

 Unique condiment setting in Sungka style

 A nice view while eating

 Angus Beef Bistek: Not so tender :( but sauce is delish!

 3 Way Adobo: A must try for chicken lovers. 

I like the adobo style with the light colored sauce. 

The adobo flakes can be amazing if there's a dipping sauce or 

it can be something like adobo chips

 Adobo Rice: Yummy with the sauce but don't eat the fats! This is good for 2.

 Inihaw na Sugpo: A bit dry dor me. Not served hot.

By the way, you can only eat at Pamana restaurant by RESERVATION only. My tip is to reserve a table indoors, you don't want to get stressed [table cloth being blown now and then, flies buzzing around, and getting food cold easily]  by the wind when you eat outdoors.

Bag of Beans for Dessert and Coffee 
Bag of Beans never lets me down when it comes to cheesecake and a relaxing ambiance. A definite date place for couples. Since last year, the main branch renovated to more seating capacity, so don't worry about not getting seats. They also have a better menu than before--- Yey!

 Main branch of Bag of Beans, this is the best branch

Don't leave Bag of Beans without tasting their cheesecake. I am not a fan of cakes but this particular cheesecake made me want for more! They have 2 flavors and both tastes great!

Strawberry Cheesecake: Not too sweet for cake, the perfect texture!

Buon Giorno for Dinner
An authentic Italian restaurant, you wouldn't be let down when you dine here. They serve colazione (breakfast), antipasti (appetizers), insalata (salad), zuppe (soup), pizza, pasta, paninis, and the best risotto in all the Italian restaurant that I tasted! 

 

Their signature menu

Spinach zuppe: perfect starter, warm and healthy

Chicken risotto: Not overpowering, texture is just right! 

I like to put some spice flakes to have some 'ummph!"

Taragon Ice-Tea: Nothing to rave about this drink just minty and refreshing

Call the restaurant to reserve the "swing seats" on their verenda. Buon Giorno has a beautiful Taal lake view :)
