By Invitation: Go Nuts Donuts 10th Year Anniversary, Top Shelf Fully Booked BGC

We received an invite to Go Nuts Donuts 10th Year Anniversary. It was going to be held on November 11 at Fully Booked Top Shelf, High Street BGC. Hmm... my favorite book place serving sugary treats? Perfect combination! ;P




It was literally donut heaven! Rows and rows of baked goodies in all colors & flavors.  Buckle up, it's gonna be a sweet ride! ;9

Food-Stars Goes to Tagaytay: Magallanes Square Hotel

This was where we bunked for our 2D/1N Tagaytay stay. Our hotel accommodations & itinerary was handled by Paylite Travel & Tour. Yup, even for an out-of-town road trip, we had a travel agency handle our affairs. 'Coz that's how we roll! ;p


Magallanes Square Hotel
Welcome to Magallanes Square Hotel
First impression? Nothing spectacular really. Hmmm... maybe it's more of a low-key type of hotel. At least it had ample parking space.


As you enter the lobby, you'll see this quaint breakfast dining area. So far so good.


Scattered all over the hotel was this tarpaulin which listed the services they offered. Let's see if they make good on their promise.

Drum roll please...

Food-Stars Goes to Tagaytay: Bag of Beans

 After our Paradiso Zoo adventure, we had to rest our heels. At 3 in the afternoon, it was a perfect time for a coffee break & a little snack. I think you can guess where we went next.

Bag of Beans
The place was actually divided into two parts. The wooden doors opens to their souvenir shop where you can buy coffee beans & trinkets.

For the dining area, there are two entrances; you can either go in thru their souvenir shop or thru the double doors outside.

Table View
Bag of Beans is all about al fresco dining, the cool Tagaytay air was enough ventilation.

Swing Set
After giving our orders, we walked around to explore. This swing set caught my eye; a perfect photo op for the trigger-happy me ;)

Food-Stars Goes to Tagaytay: Buon Giorno Caffe and Bistro

For dinner, we wanted something different from the Filipino lunch we had. Good thing that just beside our hotel was this Italian place. It looks like it's going to be a pizza and pasta kind of night! 


Love the signpost & greenery.


This little man was waiting for us by the door. Cute right? It doesn't get any more Italian than this! ;P


The menu looked good enough to eat. 


Inside
The interiors looked warm & pretty much Italian. With photos of their best selling dishes all around the restaurant, it seemed like we were in for a Good Eat.
