Taal Vista Lodge, Tagaytay City, Philippines

Savor the best in center table offerings amidst shivery atmosphere, crisp refreshing inhales of oxygen, atop views of world acclaimed Taal lake, greeneries and hmmmmm re-invigorating breeze. Join me as we delve into their “bragging rights”. One sunday, was in my usual “alone again naturally” state, my legs and driving acumen led me to, once […]

BACON INFUSED ROASTED POTATO

BACON INFUSED ROASTED POTATO (Potato Wedged With Bacon Slices To Spread Flavor Thereof While Roasting) Again, a different approach this time.

The best bet-fortunately readily obtainable- was: “Talakitok” […]
