Good way to jump start your day ;)

There's nothing more fun than having a buffet of breakfast in one of the great hotels in Manila. I really enjoy trying different dishes every now and then. I'm more of trying savory dishes than be conscious with my weight and regret not having a sumptuous meal. It's not like everyday I indulge myself so every once in a while doesn't make me feel guilty. :)

                                                       Night view along Roxas blvd.


I had an awesome stay at Midas with all the overwhelming accommodation, the luxurious room, the gym area and dining hall, and with the breathtaking night view with all the lights along Roxas blvd and Manila bay, what could I ask for more? (a swimming pool) :D still a hunderd percent fun!

Tootsie's @ Tagaytay

Few months have already passed since my friends and I planned to go to Tagaytay. It's just last week that we put our feet on the road. Trying out new delish dishes has always been our passion. We always had more than fun when we're together and it's also our way to chill out. (To avoid alcoholic beverages from time to time--nice alternative for us). 
We head to Tagaytay at dinner time and stroll down the streets to seek restaurants where we can devour a meal. Every time we go out, it's my habit to search top restaurants on a certain place where we plan to go. We scouted different restaurants around Tagaytay ridge before we agreed to go back to Tootsie's.
The place is roomy,even though there were number of customers. There's an adequate space between tables which provides a sense of privacy and comfort for the customers. (I really like that aspect in a restaurant, of course how can you enjoy a sumptuous meal if you can't appreciate the place?). The crew were very courteous and attentive. The waitress assigned to our table was very eager and thoughtful to answer all of our questions because we were having a hard time what to choose in their menu.
       
We decided to taste their must-try Kansi bulalo (P485), served in a hot pot; it's typically like our traditional sinigang with the sour savory of tamarind; and bulalo fused with beef and vegetables.
       
We also savored the Tilapia Frita (195), it's a tilapia fillet cut into long stick munchies, condmineted with mayonnaise, soysauce with vinegar.
       

The crispy tawilis (P170) fried to its perfect crisp paired with pickled papaya or vinegar.

We head out with our tummies full and with smiles of satisfaction.

A Filipino restaurant that suits the festive tables at every meal with families and friends.
