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! Photo Credits: Bag of Beans Here is a short video of our latest visit to  Bag of Beans (Main) in Tagaytay City. Here are some photos taken during our last visit to Bag of Beans. This is an alfresco area with Italian theme. This is another side with English County vibe. This is an alfresco area with Italian ...

Explore MyPHILIPPINES: Badjao SeaFront Restaurant (Puerto Princesa, Palawan)

Image
 Badjao SeaFront Restaurant Puerto Princesa, Palawan This is our first day for this weeklong Christmas holiday vacation. First stop was to our accommodations in Casa Linda which is where we headed right after landing in the Puerto Princesa airport. This is the second destination. The Badjao SeaFront Restaurant is where we had our lunch. This was a highly recommended dining place by our Tour Guide. The Badjao SeaFront Restaurant is located by the seaside, therefore you will have the cool weather from the sea. The food we ordered were mostly seafood but nothing really spectacular about it.  What I remember is the waiting time took a while before our food was served. Well what better way to start a long day tour than a full stomach! Here are some photos taken at the Badjao SeaFront Restaurant  (Day 1: 22-Dec-2012)

Explore MyPHILIPPINES: Baker's Hill (Puerto Princesa, Palawan)

Image
City Tour: Baker's Hill Puerto Princesa, Palawan This visit to the Baker's Hill is part of the City Tour. The initial information I have gathered prior to our trip to Puerto Princesa, Palawan was that Baker's Hill is one of the must visit places in Palawan. Based on the name itself, I was wondering what this place will offer  aside from its cakes and pastries. Baker's Hill is quite a surprising place! I really did not expect much about this place, but what we experienced  was something different. The Baker's Hill 'Hopia' is a must try! I'm sure people who visited this place and have tried the hopia will agree! The Baker's Hill sits in a big compound with a sort of disney theme. You will also see well designed gardens, bonsai plants and several bird cages.  Here's one of the attractions, a nice space for peacocks. We are lucky enough to witness this male peacock, dancing around and boasting his pretty tails. This peacock i...

Explore MyPHILIPPINES: Binuatan Creations (Puerto Princesa, Palawan)

Image
City Tour: Binuatan Creations Puerto Princesa, Palawan A visit to the Binuatan Creations is part of the City Tour. The Binuatan Creations is located in Pajara, Sta. Monica, Puerto Princesa. This is a handicraft shop where export quality products are weaved. Here's a glimpse of the Binuatan Creations products. Their products range from native bags, pouches, table runners, blinds, etc.  Here's a glimpse of the weaving area,  where workers do their magic in creating export quality products.  Here's a sample of a weaving machine. Looks antique, but still does magic! That's Filipino ingenuity! My two kids trying their hands on weaving. This shows how labor intensive weaving is, as each string is weaved patiently into place. So next time you buy a weaved product... think of the long hours of labor  that these weavers put into each product to make it beautiful and useful!  Your Travel Guide brought to you by Explor...
