It was one of those Saturday mornings when all I wanted to do was to escape from the stressful week that was. While pondering things over a cup of coffee with my fellow foodie Glenn of The Strolling Spoon foodblog, we decided that we really should be anywhere else but where we were at that time. We knew we deserved to treat ourselves to a delicious meal away from the maddening crowd and the suffocating ambiance of the metro. So, armed with only the few things that we were carrying with us and the conviction that we needed a breather, we headed to the City of Tagaytay.
Bag of Beans is an English café in Tagaytay City that has always been a topic in every foodie conversation I had. I have always wanted to visit this place but it was only last Saturday that I had the chance to do so. As expected, it was one of the best places where you can enjoy good food and relax.
Although they are famous for their Coffee Alamid, I had to pass up trying it out since my system was already laden with caffeine prior to getting there. Instead, I opted for their Frozen Chocolate. It resembles the usual Frappuccino without the over powering taste of sweetness.
I have always been a Lasagna lover. And while 'The House of Lasagna' has been at the top of my list, when it comes to the best tasting Lasagna, Bag of Beans has all the right to be a top-lister too. Packed with the goodness of savory ground meat and their special sauce, plus herbs and spices, It was so far the meatiest Lasagna I have ever tasted.
Their Chicken Breast Fillet and Pasta was also good. The Chicken breast was grilled to perfection, and when combined with the creamy pasta in white sauce, it was truly exquisite. Just like their Lasagna, it was served with an equally delicious buttered garlic bread on the side.
I originally wanted to order for their Shepherd's Pie but decided to opt for their Steak and Mushroom Pie instead and didn't regret it. The pie was oozing with savory filling of steak and mushroom, with a crust that was equally to die for. I will surely try their Shepherd's Pie on my next visit.
Strategically situated along Aguinaldo Highway crossing Mendez West, The very accessible Bag of Beans is surely one foodie heaven in Tagaytay City. Being close to nature in cold weather, the ambiance was downright relaxing. The food servers were all cheerful and friendly, especially their Manager Mr. Mel Cabriga who took his time to visit our table to present us with our meal and to check if we’re enjoying ourselves.
Although they started out as a cafe promoting English Pies, their menu is continuously evolving to suit the palates of Filipino foodies. Be it a Pasta dish or Coffee, or Rice meals, Bag Of Beans Menu will surely give its customers the variations of good food.
If you are just like me, who wants an hour and a half of drive to escape from the big metro, Bag Of Beans in Tagaytay is surely one of the best spots wherein you can enjoy good food that this good life has to offer.
