Highlands Cafe

I love foodtrips especially out-of-town. Its so nice to enjoy one's meal while admiring the lush greenery.

This is what I ate today. The rice was wrapped in banana leaf and I just opened it on my plate. Then I had a serving of bangus and gising-gising. So, so good!




Sizzling (Giant) Bangus. Yes, its a giant bangus. One of the popular dish at Tagaytay Highlands.




 N.B. This is for sharing. Maybe up to 6 pax if you are still ordering other dishes.




Gising-gising. This dish is basically baguio beans sauteed in coconut oil with tons of chili and hint of bagoong. Yummy!




Pizza Margherita. Goodness in very bite. And its really cheap, too.

RECIPE: TKG's Turbo Baked Bangus Fillet in Red Wine Marinade

After the Christmas festivities, with all the good food overflowing, not to mention the weight gain (*sigh*), I'm back in the kitchen with a vengeance! The object of desire- bangus fillet. Also, the red wine is a New Year's Eve leftover. I don't really love red wines except that this one comes in a nice bottle so we bought it anyway. And as everyone in my family knows, frying is my waterloo and I don't want to waste good fish. We love bangus fillet at home and since yaya is on vacay, I have to feed the family. It's a good thing that I have my trusted turbo nearby. I marinated the bangus fillets in red wine and added some spices and cooked it in the turbo until it's brown enough. I added some steamed beans as side dish and sinandomeng rice. Yummy!
