One of the standout features of My Country House Tagaytay is its delectable elevated Heritage classic cuisine. Known for its mouthwatering dishes, this restaurant never fails to impress its patrons. During our visit, we had the pleasure of trying some of their most recommended dishes.

Then we had the Greenhouse Grain Salad (P450), that surpassed the ordinary offerings found in other restaurants.

Moving on to the main course, we couldn't resist the Twice Cooked US Beef Short Ribs (P1,200). The beef was cooked to perfection, tender and succulent, and accompanied by a rich and flavorful sauce. It was a true culinary delight that left us craving for more.

Another highlight of our meal was the Crispy Whole Pork Knuckle Confit (P1,200), a dish that showcased the restaurant's expertise in preparing traditional comfort food.

It's the best pork knuckle I've ever tasted, hands down!

For seafood lovers, the Chef's Famous Melting Salmon was a must-try. The salmon was impeccably cooked, with a crispy skin and a moist, flaky interior. It was served with a refreshing citrus glaze that complemented the natural flavors of the fish.

One of the Filipino classics of the day was the Country Chicken Relleno. (P995). This was given a modern twist, with a tender and juicy chicken stuffed with a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and other ingredients. It was a dish that epitomized the restaurant's commitment to elevating traditional recipes.

To complete our meal, we couldn't resist trying the Pacific Scallops, Tiger Prawns, Salmon and Calamari Brochettes (P750). Skewered with a variety of fresh seafood, these brochettes were grilled to perfection. Each bite was bursting with flavors, making it a perfect ending to our sumptuous lunch.

One of the highlights of my visit was getting to meet the resident mascots of My Country House – three adorable American Silkie chickens. These fluffy creatures added a touch of whimsy to the already enchanting ambiance. I couldn't resist taking a few photos with them, capturing their playful personalities.

My Country House menu offered a wide array of delectable dishes, each prepared with utmost care and attention to detail.

We left with satisfied taste buds, cherished memories, and a newfound admiration for the culinary treasures that Tagaytay has to offer. We highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience.

One suggestion I have, though, is to consider adding a separate air-conditioned room.😄 I found it a bit hot that day. I believe having an air-conditioned space would greatly enhance the dining experience for customers who prefer a cooler environment, just like me. Just thought I'd mention it.😉

Roadside Plant Stalls:

After our brief visit to the convent, we ventured further along the road and stumbled upon a row of vibrant plant stalls. Intrigued by the colorful display of flora, I couldn't resist the temptation to explore further. The variety of plants available was astonishing, ranging from delicate flowers to sturdy succulents.

Among the plethora of plant options, I found myself particularly drawn to snake plants and fortune plants. Known for their striking appearance and ease of care, snake plants have always held a special place in my heart. Their long, slender leaves and vibrant green color instantly caught my attention. Without hesitation, I decided to purchase a few snake plants to add a touch of elegance to our living space.

Alongside the snake plants, I also came across fortune plants. These charming little plants are believed to bring good luck and prosperity to their owners. Intrigued by their folklore, I couldn't resist taking a few fortune plants home with me. Their petite size and vibrant foliage were simply irresistible.

Twin Lakes:

Twin Lakes, nestled in the hillside, is a breathtaking leisure hub that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and culinary delights. From its lookout deck boasting mesmerizing mountain and lake vistas to its cozy dining options, this destination promises a memorable experience. 

Upon arriving at Twin Lakes, we were immediately captivated by the serene ambiance and panoramic views that surrounded us. The hillside location added a touch of tranquility to our leisurely day. As I made my way to the lookout deck, I couldn't help but marvel at the majestic mountains and the lake that stretched out before me. The breathtaking scenery truly set the stage for a memorable outing.

To kick-start our exploration, we decided to satisfy our caffeine cravings at the renowned Bag of Beans. This charming café offered a cozy atmosphere and an extensive menu of delectable coffee options. Although the outside seating area provided a panoramic view of the picturesque surroundings, the rain compelled us to seek shelter indoors. Nonetheless, the warm and inviting interior of Bag of Beans provided a perfect refuge from the downpour.
