TAGAYTAY HIGHLANDS: Christmas Decors

TAGAYTAY HIGHLANDS: Christmas Decors

Not everyone had the privilege to dine and enter Tagaytay Highlands especially during Christmas!

I feel lucky to have seen the Christmas decors and experienced Christmas inside Tagaytay Highlands.

The place has simple Christmas decorations because they believe that Christmas is not about decors but about people and family's enjoying the season together.

Have a merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas is about peace, love and giving! For God so love the world that he sent his only begotten son to save the world.

Merry Christmas everyone! May God bless us all!

TAGAYTAY HIGHLANDS: Vegetarian Restaurant

TAGAYTAY HIGHLANDS: Vegetarian Restaurant

This is my dinner at the Vegetarian Restaurant in Tagaytay Highlands. A fresh, organically grown greens is basic for a healthy diet. In this vegetarian restaurant, you have the freedom to prepare your salad with different toppings and dressings.

Yes, you can turn your salad into a healthy gourmet dish. The Seared Tuna Pomelo Arugula Salad is a wonderful treat that is sure to play with your taste buds with its spice and proteins. While the Swiss Pinoy Kamote Salad is rich in vitamins A, B and C, dietary fiber, potassium and iron, and excellent antioxidant properties present in sweet potatoes. Experts believe that the popular tuber is one of the healthiest vegetables in the world.

The menu is based on the principles of healthy and organic nutrition, and on the philosophy of LOHAS, or Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability, which is the same guiding concept used for the development of Plantation Hills in Tagaytay Highlands.

Its special formula complies with the Natural, Green and Fresh principle. The vegetables served in the dishes are freshly picked, straight from nearby Flowerside Farm and Plantation Hills in Tagaytay Highlands, both of which use organic composts. Fish, seafood and chicken are used as substitute sources of protein. The healthy fats and oils are well-chosen, as well as the first-class ingredients, condiments and healthy sweeteners. And for zesty beverages, there are healthy fruit and vegetable smoothies to quench your thirst.

I so love the organically produced fresh fruits and vegetable in this lovely vegetarian restaurant. I don't exactly know our total bill because the family friend of my friend is the one who paid for our dinner because they don't accept cash, check or credit card inside Tagaytay Highlands. Only the owner/ members are allowed to charge purchases inside Tagaytay Highlands. Oh, it is very exclusive indeed, the owner/ member must accompany his/ her visitor/s at all times, so he/ she/ they can eat, lol.

This is the lamp that guides you to the vegetarian restaurant.

TAGAYTAY HIGHLANDS

I've been so busy with so many things that I never wrote about my Tagaytay Highlands experience back in December 2009.

It was my first time to visit Tagaytay Highlands. And I was with my college friend Brends and her whole family. We went to the condo unit of their family friend @ Woodridge Place inside Tagaytay Highlands.

One of the log cabin being built inside Tagaytay Highlands. Don't ask how much, 'coz they told me that it is worth P10M up. lol! I almost fainted right there and then! Ha ha ha! I don't have that kind of money. I think I have to be a lotto winner in order to afford one. Me and my wildest dreams.
