[Part 2 of White
Day Weekend Getaway] After lunch, R and I decided to ride a cable car to
explore Tagaytay
Highlands and it turned out to be a not so good idea because it was a really
hot afternoon. Good thing we were prepared to swim. (Okay, I was prepared to
just dip and do nothing else.) After bringing out the mermaid and merman in us,
we decided to have dinner.
Hello, Highlands Prime Steakhouse!
The place has a very cozy feeling.
Despite being a steakhouse,
it didn’t have a snobbish ambiance to it.
R wanted to eat outside for the view
but it was rather chilly that night. Anyway, we still went for it.
We decided to go for the following: Westfalian Barley Soup (PHP158), Sautéed Scallop of Hudson Valley Foie
Gras (PHP920), Norwegian Salmon
Steak (PHP880) and John Wayne’s Prime
Rib (PHP2,598, 20 oz. | PHP1,998, 14 oz. | PHP1,380, 10 oz. | PHP1,008,
7 oz.). We also got some fruit shakes.
The barley
soup, which was a mix of ham, carrots, celery and potatoes and blended with
cream and egg yolk, was a good appetizer. It sure warmed up the tummy and was
pretty light too.
The foie
gras was also delightful! I loved the contrast in flavors of the foie gras
and the pineapple bits.
