One of the greatest and most profitable things that you can leave your grandchildren were sumptuous timeless recipes and great business sense. The Ongpaucos made sure their legacy will be shared, remembered, and tasted. That makes Pamana Restaurant, a must try Filipino restaurant in Tagaytay with a view of Taal.
Warning: Picture heavy post. Some people love it though, like me! LOL
Our mission that cold breezy night was to have a quiet and proper dinner date. I was craving for bagnet while Sunrise was, as always, on the lookout for his favorite dish. From our hotel, we just took a jeepney ride to Pamana.It is located along the main road of Tagaytay-Nasugbu Highway, just beside the Boutique Bed and Breakfast (would love to try this bnb!) and just a few steps from the Lourdes Church.
The resto's ambiance is very rustic old mansion-ish with memorabilias, old photos and antique things everywhere. Sunrise can somehow sense spirits which he learned not to tell me in detail since I always freak out. So, he just told me he sensed something and to avoid taking photos of the old mirrors. Chills! It's more than the cold breeze...

They warned us that it may take a while for our order to arrive, so I was able to take some photos around.
The place is very ideal for bringing two families to dinner of soon-to-wed couples. Pwede for pamamanhikan.

Even the menu booklet had this rustic touch. Their menu line-up was extensive and served a tribute dish to each and every member, not only of the family, but of their whole household.

He, who finished 95% of the laing, had the nerve to look like this.

The Sinigang na Tadyang ng Baka sa Guava made me remember how Lola prepared a steaming sour soup with sweet guava meat and seeds to soothe my scrapes and wounds from too much playing outside.
This was one of those days that we chose not to be bothered by the golden prices of drinks. Great move because this carafe of their homemade tanglad iced tea was so refreshing.
The servers were very attentive given that only few tables were occupied that night.
To erase all the traces of salt in our palate, we ordered hot chocolate in batirol with grilled ensaymada.
