Turon 2.0


Turon 2.0 is available at Siklab.

Five pieces of turon with langka in a sweet wafer cone topped with banana ice cream. Yum! My father complained though that he couldn't taste the banana! I liked it though. Plus, the presentation was creative and beautiful.

For the budget option, choose their ice cream (P65). Two scoops for that price in Makati is value for money! I had the traditional ube flavor but after tasting the Turon 2.0, if I ever get to eat there again, I'm getting banana flavored ice cream. =)

Mer-Ben Tapsilogan

If you enjoy eating in a bahay kubo in the cool air of Tagaytay, you could give Mer-Ben Tapsilogan a try.
The food is good and reasonably priced. I would rate the Kare-kare a 3.5 stars out of 5, with very tender meat and a nice peanut sauce. Would have liked more veggies but the bagoong they served with it was very good. The best thing about the dish was it cost P200. Excellent value for money! 
The crispy calamares (P290) was a bit more expensive but also worth it--cooked very well with just the right texture--squid soft enough to bite into without effort and coated with the right amount of crunch from the fried batter. Yum!

Thank you, Es___!
