A Day in Tagaytay City: Brekkie Buffet at the Bag of Beans

-

Breakfast buffet for less than Php 500.
Tagaytay City is one of the nearest place to unwind from the hustle and bustle of city life. Due to its proximity to Manila, we like carrying out unplanned (and planned) trips in Tagaytay for a breathe of  fresh air.

Our future 'Mars' at the Bag of Beans entrance

Recently, we drop by Tagaytay for a 'Mars' mini-reunion. Dyan, our friend, prepared the itinerary for our day (thanks a lot D!). Our first stop, breakfast at the Bag of Beans Coffee Shop and Bakery located along the Aguinaldo Highway.

Main Buffet Table
For this trip, our food budget is around Php1K (good for two) for each meal. This breakfast buffet surely fits our budget! Home cooked meal is our description of the variety of food at the buffet table. For us, it is like Nanay Lolit's (our mother) Sunday breakfast at Laguna - festive Filipino family Sunday celebration.

D's favorite
The ambience of the buffet area made us feel like we were dining right at our family table. By the way, Bag of Beans is famous for the Alamid Coffee made from the 'poop' (oh yeah, it is poop!) of the Alamid Cat or Civet. We will try that next time and see if it really has that chocolatey aroma (every coffee lover who tried it describes it as such).

Inside the buffet area
Aside from the buffet area, Bag of Beans also has outside coffee area and other nooks.

But the sign below says it all: We really want to attend mass here.

Marinduque, Philippines (Part 2): Glimpse of Boac, Marinduque

" If you want a vibrant night life, don't go to Boac or any place in Marinduque for that matter. Chances are you would get bored and head to Manila the morning after. If you want a peaceful night and experience the countryside but still have little semblance of sub-urban living, the Town Proper of Boac is the place for you."  -  yanx and vanz Marinduque is sometimes referred to as the Heart of the Philippines due partly to it's shape and geographical location. Boac is the provincial capital of Marinduque. Since we are still mourning, we decided to take a closer look at Boac and skip other beautiful destinations of the province for the meantime. Grid pattern, anyone? Like any town proper in rural Philippines, the town proper of Boac seem to impose an automatic curfew on itself. Stores and restaurants are closed by 6PM save for a few establishments like Mercury Drug and some sari-sari stores. Streets are very peaceful except for some night owls

Afternoon Tea Buffet Table We wanted to escape the summer heat without going to the malls or heading to the beach and breaking our wallets. We immediately called the Peninsula Manila Lobby for reservations after remembering that the renewal member's benefit of Peninsula Manila Card includes a complimentary afternoon tea buffet for two at the Lobby of Peninsula Manila. Pretty plates and teacups Beautiful Teapot It was our very first time to experience an afternoon tea buffet here. As soon as we were ushered to our table, we instantly remembered little girls playing tea party upon seeing the tea cups and tea pots. The server asked for our preferred drinks. We asked for a juice and a tea. A milk was also given probably to partner with the chamomile tea. Variety of Scones: Plain, Mango and Raisin Filipino fare: Sapin Sapin, Bibingkang Malagkit and Maja Blanca South East Asian dish: Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce Asian Noodles One of the be
