Katch My Drift: Pamana Restaurant at Tagaytay

My friends and I had lunch at Pamana in Tagaytay after our biking activity in Nuvali. My friend treated us there for her birthday. This restaurant serves Filipino cuisine that will surely tickle your taste buds. The place has a lovely ambience and homey feel to it. There were 3 floors of differently designed interiors. We were seated at the third floor with the wonderful overlooking view.

Pamana exterior

It was my first time to try out this restaurant. I did see Pamana in Boracay as well, but was not able to eat there. It's easy to spot this restaurant as they have this big photo prop outside where you can take your picture in the designated frames.

The staff wanted to seat us at the 1st floor, but we decided that we wanted a nicer view so we requested that we be seated at the 3rd floor with the overlooking view. It's really pretty to take pictures there as the view is wonderful, and you can even see the Taal Volcano from afar.

My friend ordered different types of food for our lunch:

Tinuktok
Minced coconut meat, shrimp and spices wrapped in taro leaves and cooked in coconut milk.

This is my first time to try a dish like this. It has a very strong gata flavor, and the taste is quite exotic. It's definitely something that's worth trying out.

Inihaw na Bicol Express

Normally I love Bicol Express, but this was a little too hot for my taste.

Nilagang Bulalo

The beef meat was a little too hard to chew, and the soup was somewhat bland. We weren't able to finish this order as there was a lot of meat in one order.
