Celina's cafe and restaurant

Hi again everybody! I didn't update my blog for so long because of my vacation in Hong Kong, Macau, Shenzhen (China) and Kota Kinabalu (Malaysia). Also, I procrastinated in doing posts about my vacation. You can also inquire/comment for these countries' tourist information such as transpo, places to visit, etc.

Since you are curious about the deals in TCAT and Metrodeal, now, here is our experience in Celina's Cafe and Restaurant in Tagaytay using our metrodeal vouchers.

We expected that the place will be like an eatery style. When we reached there,  Celina's is really a restaurant and a decent place despite it's cheap buffet.

It's dinner time and the wind's really cold like a Baguio breeze.

I know that my iPod's camera sucked and I used this anyway to capture the supposedly beautiful orange moon

Now back to the resto, the con for the metrodeal voucher promo is.......

 The actual price of the buffet is also P299 not P600. I knew it already when I searched blogs about this but since food is delicious and cheap according to them, we decided to buy this deal.
An additional con for this is, the signage on the highway near Gerry's Grill isn't big, isn't bright and hardly read/seen.

The pros...
I enjoyed their food because it's really delicious and worth for its price. The staff are approachable and courteous. Their specialties are bulalo and the salads.

Looks mediocre, right! But when you taste these, it's really yummy :)

The other one's Kare Kare

Sisig and burger mushroom with gravy

Papaitan and the delicious/almost meat not bones bulalo

The resto has also a water dispenser. Despite the inclusion of cafe on it's name, coffee isn't included in the buffet and you have to order it on an expensive price of P75 and I will rather buy a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

Celina's is located near (not inside) Summit Ridge and within restaurants of Gerry's Grill.

Cafe Mary Grace

The reason for not updating within more than one month is being busy on my first job. I cannot leave this blog like this so I will share to you my food/restaurant review.

I ate at Cafe Mary Grace - Trinoma branch, ground floor, near National Bookstore.

My curiosity about a small space with a home style ambiance feeling makes me want to try their desserts. Since I am really a pasta lover, I end up eating pasta and a slice of tiramisu.

They have magazines while you wait. Tables are filled with nice notes/stationeries addressing to Mary Grace.

 

For pastas, prices ranges from 260+ pesos. The tiramisu slice is P90+

I ate their tiramisu. The taste is okay. I should bought a slice of their mango or strawberry cake instead of this. If you are a coffee addict. This will surely satisfies your appetite.

Their carbonara is so delicious. Their pasta is a thin fettuccine (not the normal wide ones). They cooked it really al dente. The white sauce has bacon bits also and some green vegetable bits.

(Sorry for not having the pics of the food I ate because I didn't have my cellphone that time ^^)

The staff are really friendly and accommodating. Service charge is 8% so it's okay if you will not give them a tip.

If you stumbled in this cafe, Try it! It will be worth your visit and appetite!
