Tagaytay City - Peoples' Park in the Sky (Palace in the Sky)

Originally intended by the former first lady Imelda Marcos in 1979 as a guesthouse for Ronald Reagan, which was the California Governor at that time – who never arrived.  The name was changed to People’s Park in the Sky after the People Power Revolution in 1986, which toppled the government of the late President Ferdinand Marcos.

The mansion was built on the highest place of point of Tagaytay City.  Having cooler winds and magnificent sceneries, this has become one of the tourist attractions of the city.

Tagaytay City - Boat Ride to Taal Volcano

Ever wondered these Boat Rides take you?  This will take you to Talisay, Batangas actually.  It is a boat ride going to Taal Volcano.  Not to the volcano per se, but the place where you will do some trekking in going up to the crater of the famous Taal Volcano.

These people are agents of restaurants in Talisay.  So, it really depends on the person you made the deal with where you will end up, which restaurant you will stop at.  But, they are virtually the same.  Restaurants that offer boat rides are practically sitting beside each other, so no worries.  Same excitement, same experience.  The only difference is how you negotiate the package.

To get an idea of how much the boat ride .  Here you can find pricing of their boat rides and many more about what they are offering.  But, if you are in a tight budget and just want to simply experience what is this, then making a deal from an agent there would suffice.  The asking price from these agents costs around P1,500 to P2,000 and it also depends on the season.  But using your inborn-negotiating skills, you can close it down to P1,000.

Mahogany Public Market - The Best Bulalo ever!

Craving for some Bulalo?  Why not try the eateries in Mahogany Public Market in Tagaytay City?  The beef is cooked perfectly as the meat just falls right off the bone.  Adding to this is the exquisite sweetness of the soup - always served hot to beat the cold air of the city.  One serving of bulalo that is already good for 4 people only costs for P300.  Enticing?  You bet!  You will get more than your money is worth.  Patrons that had taste the beef here will only tell you one thing, the beef is great!

Come to think of it, there is nothing special in the way these Bulalo are cooked nor the presentation of the food.  It has something to do with the beef itself as they are from The Mahogany Public Market, which is just beside the eateries and this public market is well known for selling the freshest beef meat in the city. When I say fresh, the meat is still twitching.  This is mainly because the slaughterhouse is just beside the market.  Butchers are bringing in meat to the market from the second they are finished with the beef. 

Nuvali Sta. Rosa

Going to Tagaytay? Why not stop over at Nuvali park – a place where you can hangout with friends and family.

This park has a lake that stretches to the outskirts of the park.  Of course, where there is water, there are hundreds of Japanese Kois!  These fishes are always hungry, so hungry that whenever a person is standing beside the causeway, these fishes are apparently waiting for something to be dropped.  Feeding them is such a treat! You can buy bread crumbs near the spot for P15 per bag.
