Tagaytay Escapade: Mahogany Market

-


A visit at Tagaytay will not be complete without a trip to Mahogany market. It is a place where both  local and foreign tourist can enjoy the tasty 'bulalo at a low price and buy other inexpensive produce.


Food stalls such as the one seen above are located right across the beef market section and serve a variety of Filipino dishes, to name a few: papaitan, caldereta, adobo, laing and pritong tilapia. The price of beef at Mahogany market is relatively cheaper compared in Metro Manila. A full meal good for 6 persons consisting of rice, extra rice, soda, 3 viands will only cost less than Php 1,000.

Famous Mahogany Bulalo (beef and vegetables). Don't forget to try the bone marrow!
Tip: If you want to buy fresh beef at Mahogany market, try asking the waiter/ waitresses (like the ones shown below) for discount with their 'suki'.


Happy Eating!

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 ...

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.
