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 «


Farmer's Table is an al-fresco restaurant located inside Nurture Wellness Village and Spa in Tagaytay City. They also have a bakery and offers fresh from farm to table cuisine. They also offers delivery thru Foodpanda.

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!

Hard Rock Cafe has a special place in my heart since 2014. We used to dine in at Hard Rock Cafe Singapore previously, in 2014 and in 2017. They offer mouthwatering food, collection of memorabilia displays and cool live bands, which make them unique and special.



Fast forward in 2019, celebrating an amazing birthday night out at Hard Rock Cafe Manila was one of the highlights of my birthday. 



Here's what happed during my birthday last August...

The ambiance is world-class and family-friendly. The lights are not too dark and not too bright. It's just right.



Even my family didn't book a reservation, we were able to secure seats at the front.


There's a rock band that performs every Saturday at 8:00 pm. On my birthday, Highway 54 was the scheduled performer. Take note that there's a surcharge fee, which costs Php 195 per person if there's a performer or a band.




We looked forward to the music of the live rock band while savoring and enjoying our dinner. My mom, my sister and I ordered Grill Pork Belly, marinated and grilled pork belly, pico de gallo and garlic rice, which costs Php 395. My dad ordered Grilled Norwegian Salmon, which costs Php 675.




If you are fond of collecting souvenirs, they also have souvenir shop, which is located at the entrance of the restaurant.




Have you been to Hard Rock Cafe? How's your experience?

Golden Cowrie Filipino Kitchen, under Cebu Golden Restaurant, Inc, is a premier restaurant from Cebu serving regional authentic Filipino dishes. They had concentrated its expansion to Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao in the past few years. They also opened two new restaurant ventures namely: Hukad and Salinas. ***Hukad's menu is relatively cheaper than of Golden Cowrie.

The menu's highlight is the Cebu's famous lechon. They also offers other local Filipino dishes and true Filipino hospitality.

For 33 years, this restaurant have been part of families' celebrations. So last November 8, we dined on this famous restaurant to celebrate my sister's birthday. We headed on their S'Maison branch beside SM Mall of Asia.




» Ambiance and Decor «

When I first arrived at Golden Cowrie, I was instantly "wow" on the restaurant's interiors. Not only I love the Manila Bay view, but the ambiance was making me "pack up and head over to Cebu". 










» Food and Price «

Based on the banner outside, the famous dishes are Cebu's Lechon Belly, Pocherong Katag, Adobong Talong, Pinaupong Manok and so on.




Our orders were Seafood Kare-kare, Back Ribs (sorry if the photo is not good because we started to eat back ribs before I took the photo of it.), Whole Fried Chicken and Grilled Bangus.

Don't be surprised because we only paid less than Php 2,000 for all of these dishes inclusive of service charge and taxes. How did it happen? I will share it on my next post. So tune up!




» Overall «

When you're looking for an affordable feast, then it should be Golden Cowrie all the way! You'll be rest assured of the quality of every dish and its superb service.

I would like to go back here with my family. :)

Ramen Nagi is one of the most famous restaurant in Japan, established by Ramen Master Chef Ikuta Satoshi in Shibuya, Tokyo in 2006. They also have branch in Hong Kong and popularly known as Butao, after its popular signature ramen. The Manila franchise was opened last December 2013 and now they opened their Alabang branch last August 2018 (last month).



I love the Japanese-style vibe outside the restaurant but the place inside is a bit small. I preferred to go with the group. 😀




The kitchen is open-space so you can actually see how they prepare the ramen. How cool, right?

Without further ado, I had a taste of their famous original butao ramen. Take note that during the peak hours, the restaurant often gets full so be early. They don't take reservations and only accepts walk-ins. 

A bowl of ramen is a bit pricey but it's worth it. Here are the ramen options:
  • Butao King (Php 390.00) - original
  • Black King (Php 410.00) - garlic and squid ink
  • Red King (Php 410.00) - spicy
  • Green King (Php 410.00) - basil and cheese

What I love about Ramen Nagi is you can customize your ramen by filling out the order slip. If you don't have any idea on what to get, simply check the "Chef Recommendation" box.




Here's what I ordered, Original Butao King:



Condiments

Take Note: They do not allow leftover or takeout so finish your order right there. 

Overall, me and my officemates enjoyed our ramen. Ramen is a great comfort food for a cold weather, right?



How about you? Have you tried their Butao King? Share your experience?
