Tagaytay Highlands Steakhouse

Ate here to celebrate a birthday. Many many people at the time we were here and so, service was 
slow and the servers' attention was hard to grab. I don't take that against them though, since like I said, the place was packed! I'm not sure about the correct names of the food, nor of their prices but these are what I were able to try:

Caesar Salad

At the very least, I'm glad that there vegetables were extremely fresh, crisp and tasty. They looked like they had just been picked from the garden minutes before being served. The dressing was nothing special.

Clam Chowder Soup

'Meaty' with clams. I enjoyed this.

Steak (well done)

As usual, it had many fatty parts which I ofcourse had to trim down first. This steak was moist and juicy just the way I like it. I'm glad their steaks are cut thick. Had corn and some buttered vegetables with it.

Salmon

I didn't like this. I found it to be a little bit fishy. Glad I didn't get one for myself.

We asked our server for the night not to serve the food if it were to arrive while the fireworks were ongoin. But of course it still did....Irony of life...Becuase of this, we weren't able to enjoy our
food 'right of the grill.'

Part 4: Myron's

For our main date, we decided to go here. Ever since the steak bloggin craze started, we knew we wanted to try this place right away. As luck would have it, an "excuse" came up. Great food! Myron's should be known not only for their steaks but for the other dishes as well, most especially the oysters!

Baked Oysters Rockefeller (Php 295)

Great! Fresh as fresh can be! It was so tender and the cheese really melts in your mouth. The bacon bits were a nice touch. Baked to perfection. It was almost as if we weren't eating oysters anymore! Really good.


Farfalle with Smoked Salmon and Asparagus (Php 280)

Good. Again I was so happy that the salmon was fresh and hardly had any of those black parts I hate. The asparagus was a great taste contrast. Pasta was cooked perfectly. Big enough to share. Worth it's price.


Louie's Choice (Php 1050)

Yes. Quite pricey but "minsan lang naman eh"... Great steak. We had ours well done and yet it was still moist and juicy. The foie gras was tender. Hmm.... it's taste kinda reminded me of fat which I hate (don't eat it at all) yet I kept eating because I couldn't believe that it was liver.... I so wish pork and chicken liver tasted like that too! All in all though, I don't think it's my thing...
We got the Shiraz Cabernet- Shallot Jus sauce which the server recommened. Nothing spectacular that I noticed.... Well, I couldn't really taste the Cabernet.
Moreover, we also enjoyed the sidings that came with the steak. Most especially the baked garlic clove. I don't think you could call that garlic anymore....It was really chewy and once again baked to perfection.

Red Plum Shake (Php 90)

I like finely shaved ice. The shake was definitely refreshing. But before I judge it, I think I'd better try the other shakes available. But this one I think is a little too "mapakla" (acrid?) for me...


Will go back. Most definitely for the oysters and to try the salads and other pastas.
