Bag of Beans - Tagaytay

To cap off my Tagaytay weekend-related post which you can view at http://mei-mei-myperfectlyimperfectlife.blogspot.com/2013/07/tagaytay-weekend.html, here's our visit at Bag of Beans.

So after exploring the Caleruega compound, we decided to have lunch at Bag of Beans.

NOTE: If you go to Tagaytay, you should never leave without visiting Bag of Beans. :)

We arrived a little before 12nn and our timing was right because we got to seat at the balcony area of the restaurant, meaning we had a really nice view of Tagaytay :)

Bag of Beans Menu

They offer breakfast items, i.e. Filipino breakfast and pancakes, pies, pasta, grilled dishes, kids' dishes, soups, salads, and desserts.

Both Kim and I decided to have a go at their pasta. :)

Here are photos of us goofing around while waiting for our order. :p

First to arrive are our drinks. Kim had an apple juice while I ordered for a Coffee Choco Banana Frost. I guess there was not much caffeine on the coffee or maybe I was too tired because I didn't have a hard time sleeping that night.

Then our pastas arrived.

 I ordered the Chicken breast fillet and pasta mainly because it's spicy and I prefer red sauce than white sauce (Sorry Kim). It didn't disappoint me because it was really spicy, well not that spicy for me, because according to Kim, it was spicy.

Kim ordered for pasta with garlic and mushroom, mainly because it has white sauce and mushroom. It tasted okay for me and I liked it mainly because of the mushroom. Hehe :)

We wanted to end our meal with something nice so we decided to order the Apple Pie ala Mode. It was to die for!!! It was served hot so you can see the ice cream melting and when we cut the pie, we saw smoke coming out of it. Really yummy and must try!

 I would definitely go back and try the grilled dishes. :)

Don Henrico's

Craving for pasta and pizza led us to Don Henrico's one Friday night.

Apple Juice and Peach Nectar

Our drinks arrived first. Kim ordered for an apple juice while I tried the peach nectar.

Petite Mozzarella Sticks

Deep-fried mozzarella cheese coated in special Italian-seasoned breading, served with marinara sauce.

Who can go wrong with cheese coated in breading? :) I really loved this appetizer. The breading was perfect and I really liked the marinara sauce. I think I asked for a refill for 3 times. Haha! :) This dish is quite heavy or maybe because I ate 3 pieces? :p

Classic Carbonara

Linguine pasta with fresh mushroom and smoked bacon in cream sauce sprinkled with parmesan cheese.

Kim loves carbonara so when we saw this on the menu, there was no need to choose from the other pasta dishes. Hehe :) It was creamy and had lots of mushroom and bacon which both of us really loved.

Don Henrico's Supreme Pizza

Don Henrico's very own creation: Pepperoni, beef, ham, mushroom, pineapple tidbits, onion, bell pepper, and black olives.

Of course we went for the house special. :) It was a good choice because it had mushroom. Hehe :) We ordered the 10-inch serving but for bigger groups, there are 14 and 18-inch pizzas available.

And of course, there should be a picture of us <3

There was no more room for dessert because the meal we had as just too heavy. Maybe next time. :)
