It has been years since I actually opened my blog, let alone writing, and now I am slowly getting back to the blogosphere. To begin with, allow me to write about the first thing that comes to mind, our happy place - Tagaytay!
With the cool and calming effect of the place, Tagaytay has become our main "go-to" haven whenever Adrian and I plan a quick getaway to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. We dubbed it as our happy place. And our happy place would not be completely happy without, of course, food! Food was never out of the picture.
As they say, a trip to Tagaytay would not be totally complete and satisfying if one fails to try one of their famous food - a bowl of hot and heartwarming Bulalo. With beef shank and oozing bone marrow boiled for hours to achieve a tender, mouthwatering perfection and a mix of vegetables paired with a cup of steaming rice, this dish is a surefire way to satisfy a hungry stomach. So when we first had our getaway at Tagaytay, we have decided to try one of the famous and well-talked and blogged about bulaluhan in the area - Leslie's Restaurant. I have been wanting to try it because people say it is the best and premium bulalo restaurant in Tagaytay, strategically situated at the road side where diners can enjoy the magnificent and panoramic view of the Taal Volcano. As soon as I get my taste buds on their famous bulalo, I couldn't agree more with the excellent testimonials people gave the restaurant. Their Bulalo is served hot and you can commend their big serving, whether you opt to order for the regular or special. When we asked them the difference of the two, regular bulalo (P500) has pechay as the only vegetable compared to the special bulalo (P550) which has pechay, beans, and corn. Moreover, their bulalo has the original Pinoy, mouthwatering flavor that is sure to satiate one's craving and hungry tummy. The bone marrow was also big and "brainy".
For the countless times my boyfriend and I had been to Tagaytay, Leslie's Restaurant has always been our main pick (not until we have decided to venture and try out other famous bulalo restaurants in the area, which I will be blogging about soon).
Aside from Bulalo, we have also tried their Lechong Kawali, Crispy Kangkong, Fried Chicken, and Sisig. The pictures below were collected from the series of food trip we had at Leslie's. I have tried their Lechong Kawali twice. The first experience was good, the second one unfortunately disappoints. The pork did not taste fresh anymore, it actually tastes like how a truck carrying live pigs smells. Yes disgusting. The fried chicken was just fine, nothing extraordinary. The Crispy Kangkong was good, similar to that of Cabalen, just with an added twist of topped lechong kawali. Overall, the Leslie's experience was a superb one.
