Welcome
to my day 2 post of our Tagaytay new year 2015 tripcation. It’s been 3 years
since I tasted a kuhol snail with coconut sauce. And I didn’t expected that we
will eat it here in Gerry’s Grill. When my wife saw it on their menu, she
ordered it and she ate almost all snails hahahaa.
She also reveals that
its one of her backyard farm project to breed kuhol snails. We saw some tips in
youtube and some blog post and we learned that its so easy to breed snails.
Before I share some food pics of our lunch in Gerry’s Grill Tagaytay, I
want you to see my condition during the 20C temp in Tagaytay.. I know that its
not the coolest temp yet, but for me it’s a punishment to sleep through the
night with freezing temp + 14kmph wind roaming around Tagaytay.
Its
my first time to wear this insulation vest, thanks to my brother Denver for
sending his Eddie Bauer winter vest hahahah. Its very useful. I wore three
layers of clothing during my 1st night here in Tagaytay.
After
waking up in the morning, the temp is much more colder, here’s my wife Lace
cooking our breakfast
We
went to a grocery store to buy some food and also some breakfast stuff, then we
thought of to eat lunch outside for a change.
And after some
brainstorming, all of us agreed to eat lunch here in Gerry’s Grill. Its much
near to where we stay in our tripcation.
In
Manila, Gerry’s Grill is like an inuman joint to others, but here in Tagaytay,
it’s a quiet and full blown restaurant. Yup..no noisy customers and beer
drinkers.. But it was around 11am when we arrived here and we were the 2nd
customer of the day.
After some hours, the whole resto is jam packed
with diners.
We
sat in a table near the terrace, then I noticed that the entire terrace is
covered with a big net. I wondered why, but after some observation, I learned
that there are lots of birds flying around and the net is a barrier to keep them
out of the resto and prevent them not to poop on our food hahahah.
I
thought that we can see the Taal volcano from the resto…but the net just block
everything…but that’s okay. The more important thing for us that our food is
safe away from those birds.
And
here’s the kuhol snails of Gerry’s Grill
I super love this…and I super miss
eating a snail. They are freshly prepared and cook.
If you want to eat
snails, I suggest go for the resto and not from those fast food or in a food
court, we got our tummy upside after eating a snail meal offered by a food court
vendor.
Kare
kare of Gerry’s Grill is quite okay……. (nanay deling’s version is much more
tastier)
And here’s the best seller in Gerry’s Grill…. the ultimate crispy crunchy –
Crispy Pata
---
After our lunch, we took home some crispy pata and
kare kare. Then we ate the left overs during our dinner plus with Nanay Deling’s
papaitan food.
Then after dinner… my blood pressure went up! I can tell,
because the back of my head hurts so badly.
My life lesson for that day
is not to eat – Crispy Pata, Papaitan and Bulalo in one day.
