The pictures above were taken just a week after my friends and I had our afternoon snacks here. We were then on our way back to Manila from our day tour at Chateau Royale Resorts.
The blueberry pancakes were for my household angels as they were in awe of my description of how it looked like when each of my friends ordered this sweet looking delight a week earlier.
I won’t rave (or rant) on how the food tastes like. The ambiance of this place, for me, is what sells. If you go to Tagaytay, the Bag of Beans is just one of those places you’d make sure to spend sometime before calling it a successful weekend. From buffet breakfast or lunch to snacks of coffee and sweets, the menu suits most types of interests specially their all day breakfasts of pancakes.
You’ll find Bag of Beans at the right side when en route to Batangas and will not miss the swarms of cars looking for parking spaces to buy their coffee beans and breads. Should you be interested to dine in, there are three parking spaces at the side and back of the resto.
Address : 115 Aguinaldo Highway, Mendez Crossing West, Tagaytay City, Philippines

Egg’s Nest
This post was inspired by a Facebook status I saw last week by one of my friends, Mackies.
The recently engaged and in love Mackies posted a picture of her first attempt to prepare, whatelse… Chaaaran! Bird’s Nest. And so I thought, “haven’t done this is a long while… Lemme see…”
Well… I’d rather call this Egg’s nest for the reason that the other star in this show is an egg. The other one is the bread.
This is really a simple and easy to prepare breakfast (or meryenda) favorite. Just get 1 piece of egg, 1 piece of bread, a non-stick pan, some oil or butter, seasonings or just salt and pepper.
First step is to create a hole in the middle of bread using a cookie cutter or if not available, just use a small glass or coffee cup and cut around the cup’s edge. Heat pan, spray or drizzle with oil. If using butter, spread some till melted and then put in bread. Crack the egg into the hole of bread. Season with salt and pepper. Wait till egg is done to preference. That’s it. Serve and enjoy.
In the picture above, I put in some freshly ground pepper, salt, and dried basil leaves. I covered the pan to fully cook the egg. I’m not really the oozing-sunny-side-up-egg kind. Another alternative is to toast one side of the bread, flip it over, then put in the egg. In this way, both sides of the bread were toasted.
It tends to be toasty and crumbly that’s why I did not pre-toast one side. But if you like it that way, then do it. If you like to put on grated cheese, why not 
It’s been said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And there are ways of making it more interesting in a simple way like preparing egg’s nest.
Suffice to say I prepared this for my afternoon snack, may not be as important than breakfast but it was definitely good with my afternoon coffee.

One of the first food establishments in Forbes Town Center in 26th Street of the Bonifacio Global City is UCC Cafe Terrace. UCC is UESHIMA COFFEE CO., LTD (UCC) is a Japanese company in the coffee and related businesses.
UCC Cafe Terrace has an extensive menu just about right for anytime of the day, be it breakfast, lunch, dinner, or whenever there is a feel to indulge and enjoy japananes fusion with a cup of UCC coffee. They also have wifi in the area and a choice of airconditioned area or the open terrace area (hence the name ‘Terrace’).
One of the popular past dish they have is the Japanese Seafood Spaghetti Soup (my fave is in tomato sauce). To start the day right, an enjoyable plate of garlic rice, veggie salad, red egg salad, spicy spanish style bangus (milkfish), and a cup of coffee is a good choice.
