Bag of Beans

Hi!

I don't think there is anybody who doesn't notice Bag or Beans when travelling to Tagaytay because it's always the cause of traffic there. Even getting a parking space is so hard cause they're always fully packed! You definitely can't miss it. It's just pass the crossing going to Mendez.

So, last Sunday was my lola's bday so we headed out to buy her cakes. On our way back, we stopped by Bag of Beans in Tagaytay for an afternoon snack.

We ordered pies and pancakes. I had the sheperd's pie, Tin had the chicken and mushroom pie and faye had pancakes.

Sheperd's Pie (Single) - Php 115

This was very filling and the beef had this spice I can't quite distinguish but it tasted very homey overall.

Chicken and Mushroom Pie (Single) - Php 115

This pie was very creamy and seasoned just right.

Buttermilk Pancake - Php 175

And of course, what is a visit to Bag of Beans without coffee or hot chocolate?

Hot Chocolate - Php 110

White Mocha - Php 110

Caramel Macchiatto - Php 105

The caramel is on the bottom so don't forget to stir or else your last sips will be too sweet.

Bag of Beans also offers a Breakfast buffet for Php 320 and a Lunch buffet for 400+, but I am yet to try that out. I'm not sure if they still serve Coffee Alamid 'cause I didn't notice it in their menu but If they do, I might try it out on my next visit.

If you don't want the hassle of parking, they now have a branch near Tagaytay Rotonda, beside BPI, if I'm not mistaken. Well, that's about it. +J

Bizu Patisserie

Hey everyone!

Finally, I am back with another restaurant post. I promised myself that I will bring my camera with me whenever I eat out so I can post more reviews here.

Anyway, back to the review.

So, my siblings and I visited Bizu Patisserie at Greenbelt 2 last week, and tried some of their dishes. What we ordered...

For the main dishes, my sister had this crepe which was pretty filling. She just wasn't keen on the salmon because she taught it wasn't cooked enough but it tasted pretty good for me.

Smoked Salmon Crepe - Php 325

I had the Salmon with Risotto. I wasn't too fond of this because the rice was still a little hard for my liking, but the sauce and salmon was good.

Butter Poached Salmon with Pommery - Php 495

The Pasta was good, some ravioli had spinach filling and some with cheese.

Mixed Ravioli - (Personal) Php 265

The next one was my lil brother's order. It tasted ordinary to me...

I forgot what this dish was but I think it was something like Beef Stew

and it cost around 200+

And now on to dessert... My sister ordered 2 mini cakes, both are chocolate flavored but I didn't get the names but both tasted like chocolate mousse. These cakes were pretty small and costs

200+ per cake. A little bit pricey.

This one had a pistachio flavored creme center. See the green paste?

We took out a pack of 8 of their Macaron de Paris. Im my opinion, this was a little overpriced, 'cause there are macarons that is Php25/pc and taste equally as good. The only difference is that they have a larger range of flavors available. I liked the lemon flavor best...

Macaron de Paris (Pack of 8) - Php 355

Php 45 per piece

For the drinks, we got...

Cappuccino - Php 95

Iced Velvet (I forgot what flavor)

Blueberry Kefir - Php 145

I wasn't able to get a lot of pictures of the interior and facade because my camera battery died, but i did took a shot from my phone.

So that's about it. I might visit Bizu again 'cause I still want to try some of their other dishes, but I might try other restaurants first for a little variety. Till then...

Ciao! +J
