Stayed at the newly opened Tagaytay Haven Hotel (clean and nice), chill at starbucks, lunch at leslie's then drinks and games :)

Seafood Kare-Kare @ Kanin Club

Oh Boy. this is one of a kind "kare-kare" dish, you can taste the meatiness of the seafoods especially the blend of the sauce and the seafoods. usually i don't eat the eggplant but i was wrong. i tried it and i ate the darn thing. it was firm and yet soft in the inside. the shellfish is very tender and juicy. also, the sauce has it's unique taste and texture compare to other kind of kare-kare (it was smooth and very tasty)

Fried Chicken @ Leslie's Tagaytay

the chicken was average. it was edible enough however, it is not a signature and it is not the dish that you will keep looking for. it was dry and the white meat is hard to swallow or even chew.

Pinakbet @ Leslie's Tagaytay

I'm not a fan of Pakbet especially when it is cooked in a restaurant. i tried the dish, for me it was horrible (well i really don't like pakbet in restaurants, i only eat pakbet when it is home cooked) but the texture was good, the squash is firm and yet soft, string beans is firm but not hard.

Kanin Club

Crispy Dinuguan @ Kanin Club

usually it's soft and bland but this one heck of a dish is impeccable. the meat is crispy, the sauce is creamy, the taste is great. a must try.

Green Mangoes w/ Shallots and Tomatoes @ Leslie's

the usually sour taste which compliments with "Bagoong" (fermented fish or shrimp with salt  w/c is salty)

Famous Bulalo of Leslie's Tagaytay

i was disappointed with this dish, i was unable to enjoy the wonderful dish. 1) the climate - tagaytay has cool climate in which affects the temperature of the dish. 2) it was served very late.

however, the taste really defines it's popularity, the amount of salt is just right, the meat is tender but not overcooked, the vegetables are firm.

Crispy Pata @ Kanin Club

average crispy pata not really a standout.
