LEDO - Live Everyday Die Once

LEDO is a journal of the "everyday of everything" in my life that is worth remembering ...... to remind me that each new day is a chance to explore new things, to enjoy life, and to thank God! I always believe that we live everyday and we die once!

I just want to write about my dining experiences in tasting the food and drinks offered in the restaurants I visited. In places I visited and ate, from among the food and drinks that I tasted, those that captured my special attention and discerning taste will be featured in this blog. At the same time, I also rated my culinary experience as to my 'degree of enjoyment'.This blog is a continuation of my postings in my Facebook album entitled "Food Delights in Between Everything"!

The Buffet Lunch

The Verdict 
(in addition to the ratings of selected food according to my 'degree of enjoyment' as presented above.)

Sonya's Garden, a restaurant and at the same time, a B & B situated in a charming garden just 10 kilometers away from Tagaytay.  The ambiance is relaxing and you will be offered with a view of nature's beauty.  Several dining areas are available for selection; I like the old house with the cool breeze of Tagaytay fresh air and the greenhouse with a sweet smell of flowers complete with flying colorful butterflies and water fountain. 

The garden experience is one of a kind; educational, enjoyable, calming, romantic and interesting.  Beautiful and colorful flowers, butterflies and chirping birds abound  the surroundings.

There is a spa where one can experience a relaxing massage.  You can also find a bakery offering freshly baked breads and a local store for souvenir items/knick-knacks.

The only downside of this restaurant is that the menu is always the same.  It's a buffet (eat-all-you-can) consisting of bread, salad, pasta, desert, and cold/hot drinks.  But if you go there once in a while, the food is very good tasting and healthy.  And most importantly, food are all locally-produce and organic.

The Verdict

Nonna's is a charming restaurant and a cozy place to relax. It's a small place but outside dining is available.  While dining outside, one will be immerse in an enjoyable experience: clean and fresh air, people watching, and of course, good food.
The service staff is very friendly and accommodating.  They goes out of the way to make your dining experience a special one. 
I would definitely go back to this restaurant; try their pizza and get another servings of chicharon and vesuvio.  Hmmm... I can't wait!
