T-House Complimentary Breakfast Meal

The next day we had our fabulous breakfast. The restaurant was unoccupied, which was nice because we got to settle in before the rush. The waiter handed the menus to us, and we were then offered with buffet assortment of breads laid on the baskets with choices of herbed and garlic butter. And there was also a good platter of sliced fresh fruits such as papaya, mango and pineapple.

We both had a cup of freshly brewed coffee. Then I opted for the Rich Chocolate Homemade Pancake with bacon, butter and jam. Since this was a complimentary breakfast, I just paid Php 50.00 (Original price is Php 200.00 for walk-in guests). I loved the huge layered pancake, which has an interesting combination of sweet and mildly salty flavors. I just wish they drizzled more chocolate syrup and more bacons on top. *big grin*



And hubby had his complimentary Hawaiian Chicken Tocino Rice Meal served with choice of eggs, garlic rice and three kinds of salsa. (Price: Php 185.00 for walk-in guests)



Soon after we came out of the restaurant with a heavy tummy. I hate to leave such good tasting food on the plate but I was way too full already, so 1/4 of my pancake was left untouched. *gloomy face*

During the day, the restaurant gives you a homey type of atmosphere.


The kitchen can be viewed outside through the glass wall where you get to see directly the chef and staffs where they efficiently prepared the food.

JOSEPHINE RESTAURANT

Hubby and I arrived quite late in Tagaytay City, it was around 2:00 pm. Since we were very hungry, we proceeded directly to Josephine Restaurant .

We have been here several times and we always have a great lunch. I really like this place, which definitely lives up to its name by offering the tradition of serving the finest Philippine cuisine and fresh seafood the way Lolas (Grandma) used to make them.

The restaurant offers a comfortable setting, and is the perfect place to spend time with family and friends. Diners will feel right at home in the casual upscale atmosphere. The area is spaciously designed with main dining room, bar, private room and a large patio with a superb view of the Taal Volcano and the surroundings.



We ordered steamed rice (Php 60.00), calamares pritos (Php 220.00), pork sisig (Php 220.00), sinigang baboy (Php 240.00), and sorbeturon (Php 90.00) for dessert. The food was excellent. The dessert was very appealing and was the highlight of my lunch. We were very relaxed, comfortable and dawdling while we savored the food. For drinks we had Cucumber Cooler (Php 80.00) and Josephines Ice Tea (Php 70.00). Ten percent service charge are not yet included.

Cucumber Cooler and Josephines Ice Tea

After we had our lunch, we walked around for a bit and I took photos swiftly before we headed to T-House.

Icebergs

After we watched the movie titled "Deja Vu", we (kuya Joe, ate Marly, Anne, Ed and I) popped in for a late afternoon snack treat.

We visited this little mall outlet named "ICEBERGS" that serves up Halo-Halo, Split, Parfait and Super Sundae. But aside from cold variations, they also have burger, pasta and chicken.

On weekends the place can be pretty crowded with people. When we got there, the indoor area was full already. With no option, we decided lounging in the tent-shaded outdoor seating.

We ordered the following:

Icebergs Super Halo-Halo - P89.00
Halo-Halo is a mixture of shaved ice, milk and sugar added with wide variety of ingredients like leche flan, langka (jackfruit), banana, ube (purple yam), beans, gelatin, sugar palm fruit, pinipig (crushed rice) and two scoops of ice cream.


Halo-Halo is a popular dessert here in the Philippines.

Strawberry Sundae - P98.00
A tall glass filled with ice cream, layered with strawberry syrup, sided with peaches, topped with whipped cream and a cherry.


We enjoyed the smooth eating and good meltdown treat of cold sweets on that Sunday afternoon.

Afterwards, we had a leisurely stroll around MOA.

Then we went to ALMON MARINA, SM Southmall for our dinner. (See 2nd update)
