    Purple Beetle reopens for pick-up, delivery, and dine-in

    People from Manila have tons of reasons why they love Tagaytay as a weekend go-to place. And one of those is the Instagrammable views and vibes of the place, not to mention the restaurants from around Tagaytay that we love to try more than once. Like for example this cute cafe at Twin Lakes Shopping Village – Purple Beetle. The first time I got to experience the place and the food was with my What To Eat fam during our roadtrip and food crawl in Tagaytay. We also got to stay at the Twin Lakes Hotel and it was aaawwweeessssoommmee!  If you want a quick trip during the rainy days to…

    The things I miss from La Creperie!

    The last time I’ve been to Tagaytay was a month before the ECQ in Manila started. What I like most about Tagaytay are these unique restaurants that offer not only good food but great nature views. That’s why Tagaytay is my go-to place whenever I need a break. Thanks to the cold weather and super yummy hot chocolate from everywhere. So when we were on lockdown, I really missed La Creperie – one of my most loved cafes in Tagaytay. Just a week ago, I learned they have new branches in Manila and that really excite me! I knew they are in other places aside Tagaytay, but I just really…

    Kid at heart: my Puzzle Mansion Museum experience

    Tagaytay is one of the go-to places for most people from Manila as it’s just a couple of hour-drive away from the city. Actually, people go there any day of the year – be it summer or even in rainy season. And it's not just for the people who wants to de-stress, it's also perfect for families and friends to go to. One nice place is the Puzzle Mansion Museum. If you are a fan of Jigsaw puzzles, I'm sure you'll love this place!

    Full week of non-stop work, huh? Bet ‘ya yearning for a nice and comfy and restful weekend. Yep, I feel you. And I also feel you don’t want to go far from the city else you may not want to come back anymore. Haha! Same here~ Well, I know a perfect place somewhere in Tagaytay. Hello, Twin Lakes Hotel! Tagaytay has been the go-to “bakasyunan” of the people in Manila for decades now, and no matter how heavy the traffic is there, we just don’t care. All people want is to stay away from the giant buildings for once and escape the heat and not-so-fresh air we’re experiencing the whole…

    5 things I loved about the eerie castle in Lemery, Batangas

    Imagine yourself dressed as a prince and you’re roaming around your very own castle surrounded by mighty knights. As you walk to your maze-like garden, you see beautiful flowers and magical creatures along the way, greeting you good morning. And as the clear and peaceful sky welcomes another magical day of life, you stumbled upon a cute little winged dragon excited to give you a ride to explore your kingdom. Except your home is an abandoned castle on top of the mountains, where all the eerie stories we hear came from. I won’t bore you with the stories of what happened to Fantasy World or who owns it or even…
