good morning we have secured some breakfast the most ridiculous selection from 7-Eleven
living that budget life I have got a plant-based chicken burger for breakfast which is so out of
the norm for me but I've had this one before and it was so good and they normally don't
have it and I got super excited so I'm having that for breakfast I've been basically living
off these buns for the last week and they're really nice um show the bun yeah there you go review
yeah they're cheap tasty hot perfect for a road trip and coffees Lucky Day strong and creamy
coffee that sounds exactly like we like but before we get on the actual road today there is
one place we've got to go pick up something very very important so we'll see you there
all right we'll see you in a second
so the thing that we really really needed to get was our passports with our extra month
that we get to stay in the Philippines we haven't even used our first month yet but
now we have another month you can actually extend it before your original Visa even
runs out so yay road trip road trip we made a little bit of a mistake we parked up in what
we thought was the parking lot of the shopping mall in which the immigration office is turns
out that was not the parking for that shopping mall it was a parking for a supermarket which is
members only which we are not members of but if you don't have a membership card it's 400
pesos to pay for the parking so it's quite expensive parking but we got our visas yeah
so let's just pretend that was part of the visa fee and then we feel better about it
not the best start and now we're heading off to Tagaytay and it started raining yay
Let's hope we get some better weather when we get down there it looks like a really beautiful tourist place where maybe a lot
of Filipinos go and I'm very excited to check it out they're not too keen on the rain but it's okay
we're inside a car at least we're not driving on a motorbike let's get some petrol people
I wasn't really sure how much to put in you know so I just put in 1000 Pesos
just brought me up to four bars but we can always top up again I think we'll
be good to get to Tagaytay. one hour and 17 minutes to go nice it's not too far is it no okay. Roadtrip
I think we are just about 10 minutes out of Tagaytay just about 5-10 minutes ago all of the landscape
kind of changed from being very built up to just Greenery all around there's palm trees everywhere
so it's like jungle this side some smaller houses on this side it's very nice Manila is awesome but
it's very busy and very built up so it's kind of nice to pop out for just a day or two and
just have a little bit more of a relaxing Vibe for a moment we're a really high in elevation
The views are insane oh my God I think our hotel has a balcony with that view oh wow
I can't wait to see it properly I think we're three minutes away
from our hotel oh excited yeah me too yeah oh this looks legit yes uh p214.
basement parking okay how do I how do we so around here exit okay I'll try okay
okay thank you massive shotgun which is right by my head yeah we're trying to find B2214. yeah
outside outside yeah then another Corner first Corner turn left bin okay thank you
he laughed at our little Airbnb there's like photos with arrows and stuff to make it very
obvious and very easy and I think we're just in the wrong place at least he didn't have
a super intense shotgun he has he only got a pistol yeah so it's okay that means we're safe
oh yes that looks like the picture that's it it says if with Car please proceed to second
floor parking space until the guard parking number and there's a pink arrow that points
up this ramp getting into airbnbs is always like a puzzle yeah follow this arrow and then
do a few jumps and then hoot like an owl yeah hi B214 what is your room number I
don't know we're just checking into our Airbnb today cool little lady let's just call this okay
hi um can I just ask what the room number is one five two
eight okay perfect thank you very much thank you very much thank you
that's it I made it
let's check out the place then
all right let's go check in
oh it's so cute oh wow I'm definitely taking that chair that's mine
oh it looks really lovely wow that's so nice. Nice view
to you whoa oh look at that yeah okay thank you very much yeah and tomorrow when we check out we
text you okay perfect okay thank you so much bye bye have a nice day we've now calmly checked in
and gotten a little bit settled we just want to show you this place a little bit less hectically
it's really nicely laid out sort of open space living room kitchen dining area it's got a massive
TV with a good solid sound bar so you've got some good audio on it there's a kitchen with all the
utensils that you might want and the kettles and the rice cookers but we're actually eating
out tonight so we probably won't be needing it but it's here and it's got this really adorable
sort of honesty store the drinks and everything do have a price on it some of the things don't
have a price on it and you basically you just pop some cash in this little pot I've never actually
had an Airbnb do this before because they've got a pretty well stocked mini fridge well it's not
it's regular size fridge and snacks and stuff so if we do get peckish tonight and don't want to go
out we can just buy them straight from the Airbnb I've seen the view out the window Adriana still
hasn't because she was talking to the lady I need to show you go out there go out the balcony oh
wow it's awesome when I peeked out of the window I could only see this side
which also is very beautiful but the view that is so nice wow it's crazy to
think that we're just like an hour and a half drive from Manila but it's very calm
very different very green and very watery I was gonna say this is really nice yeah
holiday in the holiday let's go out and check some more of the sites okay yeah
yay or we can just sit here and watch our YouTube with popcorn now that'll be boring video later okay
let's go okay let's see if I can figure this out oh that was really easy super easy thank
you here she is or he is I feel like it's a he surely we haven't named it yet looks like Roger
He does look like a Rog. Rodgy. I like it
where we're heading right now is a food place for a particular dish that we've been looking
for for quite a while apparently it's quite popular in the Philippines around Christmas
time as you guys have probably already seen is probably one of the biggest celebrations
in the Philippines the whole country is literally covered in like Christmas icing I was gonna say oh
yeah anyway we're looking for this dish it is another dessert we do love a good dessert
um the place that we're heading to was actually from a recommendation from our Airbnb host she
said the last time she ate this dessert it was in this restaurant that we're heading to and
apparently it's also quite pretty it's a nice location because we've got a car as well yeah
it takes us five minutes to get there yeah easy peasy let's go have some more dessert
thank you oh yes yes please please scan first before we go
in yeah okay okay thank you thank you what's the QR code for queuing mandated guest queuing form
so they want our date of visit first name last name queuing number okay so this queuing group number
of people where we're from and our phone number I mean this could be a really popular place that
has like hundreds of people visiting really look it up we just went with the recommendation so I
hope we're not in number 267 people in front of us we'll be here until tomorrow just
filled that in didn't really say anything so just check out what's what's going on it must be quite
organized then if they've got a list like this oh the place is here that place looks nice yeah
hello okay great thank you thank you the view looks insane. look at that view
oh wow that view is insane it's like the view
from a hotel room but 10 times better where did we end up. This is fancy!
oh this is so nice honestly I had no idea it was such a popular such a fancy place maybe
we should have some actual real food here too yeah I think so yeah not just dessert
I want to be here for a long time we came in here really not knowing what was going
to be here we didn't even know what kind of restaurant it was we came here for dessert
looks like we're having really fancy food I was just checking with Adriana do I have
my bank card because I think this is going to be expensive I'm just looking at the menu now and
it seems it's massive it seems to be Filipino food which is a good start we haven't really
dipped our toes into Filipino food as of yet properly so stumbling across this place is
really good actually because the menu is massive there's like 27 pages and I think I'm gonna go for
a sisig which is like a pork with chilies and some other things as well you've made
your choice right just need to get a drink and order now I'm really excited now all of a sudden
thank you thank you oh my God that looks so good I am obsessed with aubergine so if
you have any other recommendations of any Filipino food with aubergine in it please
let me know by the way this place is called balay Dako seems extremely popular it's now like three
four o'clock it's packed it's quite the vibe I've got a pork sisig which I've never tried before
but it's basically pork mixed with pork face chilies some onions calamansi and
chicken liver I think smells really good I like that kind of thing anyway so I'm gonna dig in
tastes like barbecue salty meaty oh my God nice tasty wow
oh this looks so good this aubergine just look at that
wow that aubergine just like falls apart
I love aubergine so give me any aubergine any day and I'll be happy already it is
like Sweet Sticky a little bit spicy it's been like roasted somewhere for
a long time there's like sesame seeds on top this is really delicious but I
just can't believe that we're sat here in this place with this view it's like very surreal
Can we order puto bumbong? With cheese Ma'am? Is that good? Yes Ma'am. Ok yes please.
okay so he knew what I was saying when I ordered it I'd never heard of it before we came to the Philippines
but apparently it's really popular here so and it's purple it is steamed like a
glutinous rice cake and it has two different types of rice one of them being purple hence
why it's purple but it also seems like it's served with butter on top some cheese on the side what
looks like brown sugar and then coconut flakes so it's like sweet and savory I'm confused and
intrigued so I want to try it I think we'll have to just put a bit of everything on yeah
I think a bit of cheese is a bit random I think the cheese to me sounds a bit fun Cheers Cheers
there's so many flavors the cheese what's happening the cheese is cheesy it's like cheese cheesy it's
proper cheese the brown sugar yeah it's nice the texture of the rice cake it's nice they're very
hot the rice cakes the Butter's melted in there now it's really nice it is nice it's different
I've never tried a dessert like this and there's so many flavors going on you first get the cheese
yeah so it's kind of salty Savory and this is a Christmas dessert I think so they eat this quite a lot in the Philippines
but look at that I don't know it's nice with the brown sugar very good wow that was amazing
food so delicious I can see why it's so popular and why our Airbnb host recommended it to us
yeah and when the bill came I was like Hey 1 400 pesos that's going to be a lot and it
came through and it's 21 pounds or something like that for everything that we ate and for that view
obviously it's a lot compared to a lot of things you can buy in Philippines but like
you just said the setting and the quality of the food yeah yeah that's good but as we were
sitting there it was getting slightly darker slightly darker a wind has started to pick
up a little bit the clouds are coming in so we'll see how the next location
goes because we're heading somewhere now and it's kind of very weather dependent
thank you
our Google Maps has just told us that if we drove there now without any delays we would
get there just after sunset and the place closes just shortly after that so quick change of plans
we'll go there tomorrow morning luckily we're filming tomorrow morning as well so you get to
tag along anyway and tonight we'll just head back to our really cozy Airbnb that we haven't
even had any time to spend in yet and you've seen that big bag of popcorn I'm gonna be diving right
in there once this food settles because I'm super full and watch some Netflix or something
and then we'll see you on the road tomorrow yeah road trip bye
good oh yeah sorry that's my chair ah Finders Keepers I found it first loser weepers then
