Tagaytay... Loving the weather!

I grew up in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia but I am not a fan of hot places! I easily get irritated and I just don't love the sweaty feeling because of our country's humid climate. However, recently the weather is tolerable until we went to Tagaytay for K's wedding. Gosh! I love it! It was cold cold that Xtian cannot tolerate it! Hehehehe... It was like the weather in Raleigh, NC when I was there.

Aside from the weather, I was excited to go to Tagaytay since it will be my first time to go to the city and be able to explore it and not just go pass through it. It is also Xtian's first time so we decided to booked a room at one of the inns along the highway. Nothing fancy or elaborate just somewhere to crash to rest, freshen up before the wedding and spend the night. We met at the bus station in Cubao at around 7:30 AM since he finishes work at 6:30AM and I overslept. The bus ride was long but it was ok. We were able to get some shut eyes. We got to Tagaytay, looked for the inn, checked in and decided to go around because it was almost 11 AM when we arrived and we were hungry. Good thing that Mushroom Burger is almost across the inn so we decided to have lunch there.

It was our first time at Mushroom Burger and it was good that it did not disappoint. No wonder people flock the place during lunch break and it is good that we got there before the crowd thickens. Xtian enjoyed every spoonful of the meal that he got and I love my burger. After that we headed back to the inn to freshen up and change for the wedding.

Well the wedding story is on my previous blog but good to note that public transport is not a problem at Tagaytay. There are jeepneys, buses and tricycles to get you around. Too bad no taxis. Hehehehe!!! So even though one does not have any vehicle to go around, you still can since most of the popular places to check at Tagaytay are accessible through the main highway.

Too bad it rained the night after the wedding. We were planning to check out the casino so we just decided to buy some booze at 7-11 across Max's and drunk at the hotel. After finishing the booze, we just slept but I was awaken with a shivering body until I decided to turn off the air conditioning! Gosh that is a first for me! I even covered myself with the a blanket! I rarely do that! I have to pull the sheet from Xtian who is always feel cold! Hahahaha!

The next day we were off to have brunch at Leslie's to try the famous bulalo but it was closed so we spent some time at Starbucks to wait. I was happy with the sight of Taal. It was too foggy the day before so I was just glad that it decided to show itself to us before we head home! When Leslie's opened we ordered the bulalo and rice! It was good but nothing special to it only. The bulalo house along N. Ramirez near Welcome Rotonda still is the best for me. The only good thing about the bulalo in Leslie's is the size of the bone marrow! It was huge!!! Xtian ate 3 cups of rice and took some the rest of the marrow! He just ate the vegetables and the soup!

After the brunch, we headed to the place where you can buy the buco tarts, I forgot the name of the place. We got some buco tarts from there when we had our last outing with our friends turned principal sponsors. The tarts were good and I always craved for it. Good thing I remembered where the store was located. It was easy to spot since I knew that it was just past the Pink Sisters area. After buying the pasalubongs, we were on our way home. The weekend was fun. It was just relaxing and there is nothing to worry about!
