another breakfast in tagaytay

We love Tagaytay. It is our favorite place. We love waking up to the cool breeze and the scent of trees and fruits, even if am allergic to pollen. Besides, antihistamines could very well take care of my allergies.

There are two things that complete our usual and frequent Tagaytay weekend get away - a good book and a lovely breakfast. Either I cook up a hearty breakfast at my mom-in-law's vacation home or we look for a nice cozy place to enjoy the first meal of the day, without the cooking.

In our recent Tagaytay trip, Toni's blog (Wifely Steps) entry about the strawberry cheesecake at Bag of Beans became my inspiration to suggest it for breakfast. We had been to Bag of Beans several times to buy coffee alamid and pies but we had not dined in.

My hubby ordered his fave bacon and eggs and I had the chicken and mushroom pie.


As they sell frozen pies in the store, I knew what to expect. It was the same reliable chicken and mushroom pie of Bag of Beans. The bacon was good but my hubby forgot to tell the waiter that he likes his eggs soft scrambled. The bread was the crowning glory of this morning meal. It was soooo good. Freshly baked (well at least that's the impression that I got), it had a textured outer shell that makes for a good bite while the inside was soft and full... and fragrant too. Am not really a bread connoisseur but I think I know a good bread when I eat one.

I like cheesecakes so when I read about Bag of Beans' cheesecake in Wifely Steps I made a mental note to try it in our next Tagaytay trip. And so we did.

It was good, found it more like a ref cake though. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's simply not my kind of cheesecake. I did not regret ordering it. It satiated my curiosity. If only for that it was worth it.
