Explore MyPhilippines: Bag of Beans, Tagaytay City

Image
 Bag of Beans, Tagaytay City Bag of Beans is one of the must visit places in Tagaytay City. I am witness to how Bag of Beans has grown from a small coffee shop to an established dining place that it is now today.  Bag of Beans has also opened several branches along the Tagaytay City tourist stretch with six branches as of this writing. Bag of Beans caters as events venue and is one of the preferred wedding venues in Tagaytay City. Bag of Beans is also now into Bed and Breakfast accommodation. For this particular visit, me and my Family came for lunch. The food is really nice! Of course coffee and dessert after lunch is a must!  It was definitely worth the travel!

Explore MyPHILIPPINES: How to Go to Antipolo, Rizal

Image
How to get there:  Antipolo, Rizal When I planned for this road trip to Antipolo, Rizal... I did my 'how to get there' research using Google Maps. The information provided was very useful... but the actual experience using the directions I got were quite challenging.  The route I got for the direction to get there was through Bicutan (General Santos Ave), via C6 and through different intersections along the way (Taytay Diversion Road, Ortigas Avenue Extension, etc). Initially, the route looked so simple, but the actual experience was very confusing because there are intersections that are not properly marked, which led us to a different destination.  We also have to stop several times to ask for directions when we felt we are travelling towards the wrong way. So this is quite challenging to get back on track.  In any case, what I will be recommending is a simple yet I believe is the best way to get you to Antipolo, Rizal.  My point of reference here is f...
