It is the first week of the year 2023 so I am starting to declutter my phone gallery, let me start with our recent trip to Tagaytay. We usually go to Tagaytay every Christmas Day as part of our tradition but for the past few months, nakailang balik na kami dito. We had Breakfast at Taza Fresh Table and Balay Dako so I don’t know where to go na. 

Then I remembered “The Farmer’s Table Tagaytay” so I suggested this to my husband. He messaged the restaurant but he was informed that they are fully booked but they accept walk-ins if we are willing to wait. So we took a risk and in our mind, kung wala available, we will just go to Sonya’s Garden. 

We woke up early and we arrived at the restaurant before 6:30AM, we saw a number of people waiting already but it is not enough to occupy the restaurant so we felt relieved, no need to transfer. Since the restaurant is not yet open, the staff informed us that we can explore the garden. 

So we had a quick tour even though, we‘ve been here a few times already. We experienced glamping, we availed massage and spa and we had a food trip here in Nurture Wellness Village. There are a few changes and they had rebranding, so the old restaurant is now “The Farmer’s Table” with a new name and new menu.  

The staff ushered us to our table before 7AM but they really waited for 7AM before they took our order. You need to scan the QR code to browse the menu. Their menu is available online too so I already browsed their menu prior to our trip. 

For breakfast meals, they have Brunch Faves which you can order all day, or the Good Morning Tagaytay meal. GMT is a typical Filipino Tagaytay breakfast served with garlic rice, 2 eggs of any style, and house-made pickled atchara. My son ordered from the Special Holiday Menu. 

We ordered Mr. Jones US Beef Tapa PHP420, Amadeo Style Garlic Pepper Longaniza PHP395, Lengua Estofado PHP695, Garlic Rice PH105, Americano PHP195, and Chocnut Hot Chocolate Eh PHP195.

During our visit, the temperature is 19C and it was windy so it is really cold but we were happy because our food is warm unlike in our experience at Napa at Crosswinds last year. Moving on, the breakfast meal is on the pricey side but it has a huge serving naman. The tapa is just okay but I liked their Garlic Pepper Longaniza. The Lengua Estofado is good for sharing pala so my son was not able to finish this, take out na lang. The Chocnut Hot Chocolate Eh is just okay, we prefer our own version of hot chocolate. 

And because it was so cold, we ate fast so ito na yata ang pinakamabilis namin na kain sa restaurant. Parang sa fast food lang kami kumain. Lol. But I’m pretty sure that we will return in the future and try other meals.
