A Day in Tagaytay: Buon Giorno at the Cliffhouse, Tagaytay City

-
View from the Cliffhouse
Buon Giorno ('good morning' in Italian), a restaurant serving delicious Italian dishes at the Cliffhouse, was our last food stop for our Tagaytay day trip. Aside from the delicious food, the beautiful view of Taal Volcano adds to the superb ambience (both inside and outside) the restaurant.

Entrance at the Cliffhouse
We were so full from the brekkie buffet that we just shared the pasta and pizza. Our verdict: we liked it and we will come back for more.

Spaghetti with Pesto Sauce (Php 285)
Menu description: Thick Basil Oil over Noodles. Verdict: If you are not fond of the red or the white sauce, this you have to try.

Pescatore Alla Puttanesca (Php 315)
Menu description: Assorted seafood on spicy and peppery tomato sauce. Verdict: We loved the seafood and the slightly spicy red sauce.

Vegetarian Pizza (Php 270)
Menu description: Thin crust pizza topped with zucchini, spinach, roasted bell peppers and eggplant. Verdict: We are not vegan but this one tastes really good. Hmm ... probably the veggies and the thin crust go well together.

New York Pizza (Php 300)
Menu description: Assorted meat, bell peppers and cheese topping on a crispy crusty dough. Verdict: The dough is really crispy and crusty. Hands down to that!

Chicken Tender and Fries (Php 185)
My description: Twirly fries and breaded chicken fillet. Verdict: Best for kids and the kids at heart!

Rina looks a little amazed at the statue
We heard Buon Giorno opened a branch somewhere in Metro Manila. A branch closer to us is definitely worth looking and waiting!

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
