Bag of Beans Tagaytay

Lettuce Says,

Whenever we go to Tagaytay, we never fail to drop by Bag of Beans in the afternoon. I had to remind Sunrise of the smell of freshly baked bread to sway him away from Starbucks, which is our usual hang-out and coffee place.

Here are what we always have.

Bottomless Kapeng Barako, PhP110

Look at that golden mine. I only got a refill once since my head is already ballooning from too much caffeine. Their milk is very light. I prefer mine thicker and creamy so I added it to the hot chocolate instead. 

Shepherd's Pie, PhP115

This is Sunrise's fave. With all that ground beef and mashed potato, we can't help but get some for take away. Just pop  it in the microwave and it stays as good as what they served here. This is seriously heavy on the tummy, a meal on itself.

Beef and Mushroom Pie, PhP120

Beefy goodness! Unlike other pies that have super thick crust, they never skimp on the filling.

Apple Pie Ala Mode, PhP145

The photo speaks for itself. Inside, cinnamon envelops the apple chunks well.

Wow, I badly miss Tagaytay after seeing this post by Lettuce. We would usually go there during weekends when our budget would permit us because it was just two jeepney ride away from Binan, Laguna. 

Bags of Beans would always stay fresh on my memory. Believe me, my brain still knows how those breads smelled. 

Please do drop by one of Bag of Beans if you are in Tagaytay. No we are not paid to promote them, but they are definitely worth promoting. (Sana mabasa nila! Ok na ako sa Free Shepherd's Pie and hot choco)

I'll be coming back. Soon.

Don Henrico’s @ Festival Mall

Hall of Famer – Pizza Haven

Dec09

Lettuce Says,

Sunrise and I went to Festival Mall Alabang for some last minute Christmas shopping rush. And after much walking, searching and thankfully ended up buying all gifts for our loved ones, our aching feet led us to Don Henrico’s.

Don Henrico’s 10 inch Supreme Pizza (P280)

Clap clap clap! I’ve found the perfect pizza! (so far, for me)

Stringy mozzarella – check

Fresh Veggies – check check check (everything tasted fresh even the olives!)

Meaty Goodness – check

Crust – big check!

Why big check for the crust? I’m not really into crusts of pizza because it’s really just bread for me, but this is just the right crust that I love!

Baked Ziti in Three Cheeses (P280)

We ordered baked ziti in share serving and here we go again, just like with the Angus Pizza of Sbarro, this is heavy! The pasta was baked to perfection with beef and mushroom. The mozzarella is still stringy (messy but fun!) when I ate it. I hope they would have potpourri herbs too in the future. The fresh garlic bread is so yummy as well.

Oven Baked Ribs with Fries and Buttered Corn and Carrots (P195)

We know that Don Henrico’s is known for their pizza and pasta, so it’s a gamble for us to have tried this. The meat is too dry, stringy, and bland for me but the barbeque sauce is an instant hit.

We are so wickedly full by finding another Hall of Famer and found ourselves eating half of the pizza when we got home and still saying ahh uhmm yumyum...

Sunrise Says,

When the plate of baked ziti arrived at our table I was already hungry, but the eyes always eats first.  I was looking for some color, yet it was served plain and straightforward that the chopped green basils are noticeably few. It was overwhelming in meat and mushroom though, and for a fact that I love cheese, it was already a feast for me. I kept on craving for more herbs to add flavor to it, but O.K., they served it with good garlic bread. It’s a heavy meal.

A common Filipino would order a cup of rice with an entrée but good thing I did not order one for this Oven Baked Ribs with Fries and Buttered Corn and Carrots. It was too bland and dry, but it was cooked well that you can easily cut through the stringy fibers of meat. I mean, how could I think of rice on this entry, it really won’t match at all! ;)

I know that you should always give options to your customers.  I know that because I have worked in a customer oriented environment, and if I was given that option on how this entrée should have been cooked, I would have it cooked with that sauce that was paired with it. It was a nice, flavorful sauce, which they can really boast of. Anyway, as for standards sake, maybe it was really meant to be served that way.

Hail to the fries and buttered corn and carrot! I hope they serve more, as a side. We’ll it was just a siding, but still, I hope they served more.

There are only few pizza makers in the Philippines that I know that serve excellent pizzas. Well, this one, is just exceptional! The flavor was like a mixed, cultured way of representing the Filipino-Italian taste.

It was like home baked straight from your mom’s oven, prepared with love and gusto. The vegetables were fresh and chunks of meat and mushroom were grand. Luckily, more cheesy surprise for me! On this pizza, complementing the crunchy texture of its crust, was that the tomato sauce and stringy mozzarella. Wow, pizza to perfection!  …and it was still perfect when we ate the leftovers at home.

Verdict - Hall of Famer – Pizza Haven
