Yum Moments: Carlo's Pizza, Tagaytay

Last Monday, a friend (my food trip buddy), together with her friend, and I went to Batangas for a business meeting (I only tagged along) and before we headed back to Manila, we decided to have early dinner at Carlo's Pizza in Tagaytay. I love the place and the ambiance. But jeez, it felt like we were in a storm because of the strong winds and we were chilling and shaking the whole time we were there. We didn't expect it to be awfully cold and didn't have any jackets (except for my friend's friend) so we just had beer to somewhat feel warmer. Should've worn ear muffs too. :P While I was taking pictures of the scenery, the wind was so strong that I actually got a little off balanced and had to hold on to the railings of something (I forgot what it's called, sorry). We ordered the Capriccioso Pizza and of course, a bucket of San Mig Light. Feast your eyes on the pizza. Jeez, do you now know how much I love pizza? :P

***Most of the pictures are blurry because my hands were shaking while I was snapping away. :P***

Thin crust pizza, of course. The pizza wasn't in any way oily but it could also be very well due to the weather. Plus you can taste everything on the pizza.

This wasn't my pizza. That's the spicy green hot sauce, I forgot what it's called though. He put a lot on his pizza to help him keep warm. Haha!

Someone's canine friend. He was so obedient and even though he was big, he seemed such a darling but only to his owner. :P

View from Carlo's Pizza. If you click on the picture to enlarge it, you will see a light blue thingie on the left side of the picture. Someone told us it was actually the wind causing waves on that part of the beach. Interesting. :)

I think this was in Laguna or somewhere before reaching Tagaytay proper.

This is Putong Beach, somewhere in Lemery, Batangas, where the meeting was held. Since I'm not really part of NuSkin, I decided to walk around and did a little boating too. It felt weird though because the whole time I was strolling, I knew their eyes were on me and they knew I wasn't from there. It could very well be due to the fact that I was wearing a long-sleeved polo, jeans, and wedges! Haha! :P C'mon, we didn't plan on swimming anyway.

Ang Bato (The Rock)

I rode on that yellow boat. :P

After we had lunch, I took pictures and much to my surprise, this kid stood right in front of the camera and posed as I took one shot. And yeah, his tiny weeny was captured but I just covered it with something red. And if look closely, those men were smiling too. Haha! :P

The boatman. S'funny because he suddenly asked if I was an actress simply because my skin is lighter than theirs. Haha! :P

He said these are corals but for goodness' sake, all I saw were rocks.

 

On our way home, we stopped by Rowena's to buy a few treats. I only bought their yema balls which I no longer have a picture of because there's nothing left for me to take pictures of. It was so smooth and creamy and yummy but the coating was too sweet for my liking.

Overall, I had fun but I was already sick (and I still am) when I got home probably because of how darn cold it was that day. I would really love to have another roadtrip again and I swear I'll bring a jacket with me. :P

Happy Tuesday, super awesome peeps! :P
