Tagaytay Picnic Grove is Now Open for Tourist of All Ages

Posted on by shellan

The world is slowly going back to normal after the widespread of Corona Virus Disease 2019 or CoVid 19 as we know it. Now, I don’t think it will ever be the same normal as it was before and I believe we would adapt more of the new system brought to us by the new normal but one thing is for sure, tourism is one that would definitely be back to normal — the very reason why we have this blog now.

We went to Tagaytay Picnic Grove days ago to check how tourism is going there because we heard that it is now operating. The good thing is, although many people crave to go out after being restricted, the place wasn’t that crowded. Or maybe because we went there on a weekday; we cannot tell the magnitude of people at the place on weekends.

We weren’t ask for a vaccination card but yeah, face mask is a must. Well that’s quite impressive because most of the establishments requires fully vaccination card in order to get their full service and that’s a blatant discrimination, which, should be a big NO.

I don’t know how much the entrance was before the pandemic but now it cost P50 / head. Additional fee applies depending on your type of vehicle.

And still, the cinematic view of the whole Taal Lake and the volcano within is such an eye candy. The one that would make you praise God for such aesthetic creation — and my camera failed to capture what my eyes are exactly seeing. I think, you just have to go there to experience what I’m talking about.

Here’s some of our intagrammable shots we had at the place. Truly an amazing place.

 

Thank you God for your wonderful creation.

Where to eat in Tagaytay

Posted on by shellan

It’s been months already since I stepped outside my home town. That is also the reason why I stop updating my blog here. No content, no blog. Also, I’ve been busy with other essential stuff in order to cope up with the new normal brought by the pandemic. And now, slowly, the government is starting to open up again the tourism industry.

We have learned so much this year. 2020 has bluntly made it clear what are really essentials, and there’s no need for me to mention it because you too, am pretty much sure, knew it already.

And since, we are finally coping up, business establishments, such as food industry, following the guidelines of the AITF, started to operate. And since we are able and permitted to travel within the province, I got the chance to eat at an eco-friendly restaurant somewhere in Tagaytay — Balinsasayaw.

Balinsasayaw is a name of a bird found in Tagaytay, well, at least that’s what I know. Not sure, what’s the english word for that.

Balinsasayaw restaurant in Tagaytay offers fine dining inside a kubo (nipa hut), that let’s you in hale fresh and open air while enjoying your food. You can check out the vicinity in this link: https://youtu.be/itLLaiUIjNs

What I like mostly about the place is that you can see Filipino culture all over the place, even the banyo (toilet). Making it look ethnic, and therefore, instagrammable

Yep, their food presentation is excellent, also the taste. So if you’re looking for a food trip in Tagaytay, Balinsasayaw is one of the perfect places to go to

Here’s some of the photos:

Excellent food quality

I didn’t get the chance to take lots of photos of the place and find more instagrammable spots, but the place, I assure you, is a winner( (panalo!). Maybe you can share your own find of instagrammable spots once you get there and comment it down here in this blog for additional insights.

Thanks for reading. Hope you’ll have a safe trip. Stay healthy and cautious. Shalom.
