I DREAM

I love relaxing more than anything and since I live just minutes away from Tagaytay, I tend to find most of my sanctuaries there. One of my memorable stay was a few months ago at The Boutique Bed and Breakfast. For the longest time, I wanted to try the place out since I heard a lot of good things about it. Thanks to my constant rants, my habu (a shorter version of honeyboo that I made up, when you've been together for years doesn't matter how baduy you call each other) finally gave in and booked us an overnight stay. : )

We got the I DREAM room just because I love an all white aura that time, it clears my head somehow. TIP: Choose a room on the 2nd floor, except for a better view, it's not as noisy as being beside the kitchen or dining area. Plus no one would mistaken your door for the restroom or what not.

Before they guide you up to your room, they would first let you choose the things that you want to use for your stay. They have all sorts of body stuff from their Pamper Me line. We were tasked to choose our shampoo, conditioner, lotion, soap (Rain loved his soap so much, after that day, I had to find the Pamper Me line online to get him more), oil scent, and even our pillows. We actually had so much pillows that we had to place some of the pillows on the sofa to be able to sleep with enough space to move around. Oh, and except for the things we chose, you can check out the goodies basket below for whatever else we had for our stay. : )

Hmmmm... it doesn't end with that. A few more freebies were presented to us when we got to the room. There's the welcome drinks with some munchies, and when you check the side table, another set of nibblers just in case you feel hungry in the middle of the night, plus fruits and water. And did I tell you? There was a choice between a 10 min facial or foot massage to keep you more refreshed and relaxed, to cap it all off a goodnight snack, hot choco and churros. YUM! : )

In fairness, they really make sure that your stay is worth every penny. They even have DVDs and games available just in case you get bored during your stay. Plus it is amazing to wake up every morning with an amazing view and one hell of a breakfast in bed. : )

Some reviews I read before visiting the place mentioned something about bugs since the place is surrounded by greens. Nevertheless, when I made my visit, they already had screen doors on their terraces so they got that problem out of the way. Next time you plan a trip down south, include this place on your itinerary, if not stay, just grab a bite of one of their delish dishes ladies and gents.

Til my next visit,

The Original...

Tagaytay is a local hangout for those who are not too lazy to drive long and have a good time plus a scrumptious bite.  If you're heading south for a food trip, you shouldn't miss The Original Hawaiian Bar-B-Que. Except for affordability and huge servings, they serve majorly yummy dishes. And of course, who would not want a cuddle weather and an awesome view while being served with wonderful plates that you can even eat in bed.


Since I stayed at The Boutique Bed and Breakfast, I didn't pass up trying their food as well. I have read a lot of raves about this place, so I would never pass up a chance to experience it myself.

Here's what I tried:

The Original Hawaiian Baby Back Ribs

YUMMYNESS! One of the best I've tasted. The meat was so tender that it almost feels like melting in your mouth. Big serving, there we're only two of us and we weren't able to finish the whole plate, we had to bring it to the room for midnight snack later on.

Fisherman's Catch

A combination of fish, mussels, shrimp, and squid. Plus 3 variants of sauce on the side. Who wouldn't love a seafood dish? It's just delish! : )

I don't have the exact prices, but I am pretty sure it would just be the right amount for everyone's price range, I wouldn't consider it eating exaggeratedly expensive stuff beyond your means, so it's just right for a good time. I'll make sure to keep you posted when I visit again.

For now, you can try scheduling a road trip and experience the goodness yourself. Let me know, what you think too. Enjoy loveees. : )
