Our 4th Wedding Anniversary

We woke up pretty late despite the fact that we slept early. The weather was so nice that it was really conducive to sleeping. This is really the best time to be in Tagaytay :)

Had breakfast at the main restaurant then we decided to drive around. There's really nothing much to do here but to enjoy the weather and the fresh air.

I wanted to go back to Ilog ni Maria so we decided to go there first since it was the farthest. We wanted to go to this furniture shop as well along Silang but the it was close already.

From Ilog ni Maria, we dropped Bag of
Beans. They really have yummy coffee so we bought about 6 bags :) Hubby loves drinking coffee that's we we buy a lot whenever we're in Tagaytay.

Then we decided to drop by Cliffhouse Tagaytay. They have about 6 restaurants/cafe's here. We decided to grab
some coffee at Cafe Breton and just enjoy the view and the weather.

Went back to T house to rest and watch a bit of TV. We had reservations at Antonio's and it was about 30 minutes away from where we were staying. Unfortunately, we left the camera at the hotel. We were not able to take pictures. It would have been a great place to take pictures because the ambiance wa
s really great.

Oh, the food...What can I say???It was superb....I had the salad w/ foie gras, soup and the steak. It was superb....I am at a lost for words because the food was really great, the service and the ambiance. Anyone who visits Tagaytay should really try Antonio's. Although its on the pricey side but its all worth it....

Got back at the hotel and T House staff
had a bit of a surprise for us.
They were so sweet but I was in the bathroom when they arrived so it was just hubby who received the cake in our behalf. Most of the staff were there and they wanted to greet us. We were so full after our sumptuous meal at Antonio's so we didn't eat the cake yet.

But, oh man it was heavenly. Just the right moistness, texture and chocolatiness. If I was not too full I would have devoured the entire cake. Whew, just describing how it tasted makes me crave some more.

That's how we spent our 4th wedding anniversary

Our Stay at The T House in Tagaytay


Our stay at the T House...This is a highly recommended place if you are looking for a tranquil and pleasant stay in Tagaytay.

The rooms were gr
eat, nice interior and big bathrooms. They even showered our room and bath tub with rose petals because they knew that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary.
During our first night, we decided to eat at their restaurant and have a massage after dinner. Their selection in the restaurant was limited but the food was surprisingly good. I loved their soups and salad. Although the main course I think could still be improved. But we really didn't mind because by the time we reached the main course, we were so full already. The price is really cheap at P500+++ for a 4 course meal.


After the sumptuous meal, we had our massage. It was great !!! My husband who is seldom satisfied with a masseuse was so surprised because he got a really good one. One who was able to feel and relieved him of this backaches which seldom happens whenever he gets a massage.

With all that we really had a restful night :)

Ilog Ni Maria Honeybee Farm

I've been wanting to visit this Ilog ni Maria Honeybee Farm because I heard that they sell really good natural/organic stuff from the girl talk forum.

Since we finished lunch at around 12 pm and check-in time was at 2 pm, we decided to drop by the farm.


Since we finished lunch at around 12 pm and check-in time was at 2 pm, we decided to drop by the farm along Silang Cavite.
My eyes really popped out the minute I saw what they were selling. They had soaps, shampoo, facial care, hand wash, bees wax, bath salts, etc. Each item or scent had specific claims or pur
pose. So I really took time in reading and trying to decide what would suit me.

In the end I bought the following: bee propolis, bee pollen, all the flavors/scents of their soaps, honey cider vinegar, face oil, face moisturizer, hair oil, shampoo, insect repellent, honeymilk lotion,sting less, toothpaste, feminine wash, lip balm and pine buckets.
This is the first batch of my shopping spree, we decided to go back again the following day because I wanted to buy the bee propolis for my mom and in-laws. I didn't take a picture of the pine buckets anymore.

Once I start using them I'll be sharing as well the benefits or claims of each of the item I bought. I will also share whether it works or not.

From Ilog ni Maria, we went to T-House, this is where we stayed for 3 days.

Lunch at Massimo Tagaytay

We arrived in Tagaytay around 10:00 AM. We went straight to Massimo even though our reservations was at 11:00 AM. Hubby and I decided to try this restaurant because we heard that they serve good steak.


Its a very cosy place and we had the place to ourselves since it was a weekday and pretty early at that.

Here's their menu.


We ordered the following: hot artichoke dip, corn chowder, wagyu sirloin, US Angus Tenderloin, and dalandan juice.


Overall I wouldn't say it was a great meal. It was just so-so for use because we have tasted better steaks in other restaurants. If you were to ask me I'd say it was not really that great.

From Massimo, we decided to go to a bee farm that sells organic stuff.
