I am Ulyssa Elaine - Travel, Food and Lifestyle Blogger

This post is long overdue. It was in August 2021 when we dined in to celebrate my 29th birthday. 



» Balay Dako «

Balay Dako, is a top-notch restaurant, which offers Filipino dishes. It is run by Chef Tony Boy Escalante, the owner of Antonio's Group of Restaurants. It is one of the most visited restaurant in Tagaytay, which offers a great view of Taal Volcano. 

They are pet-friendly restaurant but there are restrictions: pets must be vaccinated, have diapers at all times, must be on a leash, in a carrier or a trolley, and must be close to the owner.

You can check their updated menu here.

» The Experience «

We had our lunch at the restaurant. 
The parking was spacious but it's easily get full depending on the volume of the guests. We dined in a weekday so it's not a problem. Upon parking, we were given a number and a link for their guest contact tracing form.

We were offered to seat at the veranda because we bought along our shih tzu dog. It took us around 30 minutes before we received the orders. It's a bit windy so the food easily got cold. 


We ordered Batchoy (Php 320), Callos (Php 700), Lumpiang Shanghai (Php 340) ***not in the photo, Camaron Rebusado (Php 495), Bulalo na Baka (Php 1270), Pampano (Php 560), and Puto Bumbong (Php 120).

It's my 30th birthday that we decided to try this new restaurant in Tagaytay. It's located in a secluded part of Tagaytay without the view of Taal Volcano. Perfectly, they are pet-friendly restaurant, which we like because we bought along with us our pet, a shih tzu dog. 


» Farmer's Table Tagaytay «

You may view their menu online through this link: https://www.raintreehospitality.net/farmerstablemenu. To reserve a table or for takeout/delivery, you can contact their Viber number +63-917-873-5943.


» The Experience «


We are a family of 14. Unfortunately, they were fully booked for online reservation so we just opt for walk-in. We arrived at around 1:00 pm for our lunch. The waiting time until we seated at the restaurant took at least 30 mins. For our food orders, it took around another 30 mins. It is best to book for a reservation beforehand (maybe 2-3 days before).


We ordered 2 orders of Tofu Sisig (Php 350), 1 order of Just Vegetable Kare-kare (Php 495), 2 orders of Pork BBQ Skewers on a Grill (Php 475), 2 orders of California-Style Roasted Rosemary Lemon Garlic Chicken (Php 695), 2 orders of Garden Fresh Vegetable Pad Thai (Php 475), 1 order of Chili Garlic Pork Knuckle "Crispy Pata" (Php 995) and Beer-Battered Fish & Chips (Php 575).

The price range for the food was pretty expensive but it's worth it. On my personal opinion, you get what you paid for. The taste of every dishes that we ordered was superb!

This post is long overdue. It was in May 2021 when we dined in at Farm Hills Garden to celebrate the wedding anniversary of my parents.

» Farm Hills Garden «

Farm Hills Garden, opened in 2019, is an event place, a bed and breakfast as well as a cafe and restaurant. It is situated in Brgy. Ulat, Silang, Cavite. It is a few kilometers away from Tagaytay town proper.

» The Experience «

We had our lunch at the restaurant. Unfortunately, it took a while before we had our table because of the long queue. It's better to have a reservation beforehand.


We ordered Four-cheese Pizza (Php 390), Aglio Olio (Php 350), Chicken Teriyaki (Php 350), and Sinigang na Bangus Belly (Php 420). We also ordered ripe mango shake (Php 140) and two orders of vanilla milkshare (Php 160 each) ***not included on the photos.


Tip: I recommend to take a private vehicle instead of commute because the place is few meters away from the highway or the main road.

At Friday night (the night before my departure back to my home country), my aunt's family treated me in a famous restaurant in Edmonds.


» Anthony's HomePort & Beach Cafe «

Anthony's HomePort & Beach Cafe, owned by the Anthony's Restaurant Group, is a famous restaurant chain in the Pacific Northwest. It started in Bellevue, Washington in 1969 and then grew up to this date.

» My Dining Experience «

My uncle reserved a slot for us. I'm not sure if walk-ins are possible so be sure to contact the restaurant beforehand.

The servers were friendly and attentive even if they're busy. They even suggested food that we must try. The menu was perfect and everything was delicious.

I ordered a three-course meal worth $25. For the starter, I ordered Anthony's Clam Chowder. For the entree, I ordered Double R Ranch Signature Top Sirloin, a grilled sirloin served with seasonal vegetables. For the dessert, I ordered Burnt Cream.


The ambiance was great and perfect for family and dinner dates. I would like to recommend this restaurant to everyone. :)

After visiting Chihuly Garden, I walked for a few minutes going to Armory Building. I felt the Christmas vibes inside the building.


Can you spot the stall of MOD Pizza?

» MOD Pizza «

MOD Pizza, founded in 2008, is Seattle-based fast food pizzeria that offers made-to-order pizzas and salads. Now, the have more than 400 locations in the United States and United Kingdom.

» The Experience «

I already planned ahead of time that I will dine-in here. I would like to try out the famous pizza in Seattle area. I love the idea of creating my own pizza with any combination of toppings for a certain price. Don't worry because they also have suggested pizza combinations if you're not comfortable of DIY.


The line was not long when I went there. The ordering process was moving smoothly. Though the baking process took about 5-10 minutes but it's okay because I was not in a hurry.



I ordered 11-inch Mad Dog pizza, which consisted of mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, mild sausage, ground beef but without red sauce.

I was impressed with the taste even though the look wasn't appetizing because of the burned part. Apologies, it's my first time trying out pizza straight from the bricked oven.
