Eve’s Garden

Thanks to Neng for telling us about this place!!!! Though it has been in existence for ten years already, we only heard about it now.   We all loved it!!  In the beginning they were complaining that it was a bit far, around 30 minutes from the city, but when we got there, we enjoyed it! It’s all about being able to experience something different, something unique, meeting different kinds of people, doing different kinds of things…. discovering.  I am so glad my family is adventurous because I am! 🙂

Salad Platter made of eight lettuce varieties served with carrots, turnips, walnuts and raisins and a ceasar type dressing made from organic flax oil, olive oil and sunflower oil prepared with seven fresh garden herbs

This was the highlight of our meal!!!  We were all amazed at this salad!  Heart2Heart took like 20 photos of this salad from all angles!!   The flowers are edible and we ate them!!  It was a big portion so we could not finish it ( except for my brother Quito 🙂 )

It’s a beautiful work of art just how it was prepared and made!!!!

The server taught us how to eat the salad.  You have to get a lettuce and put the raisins, nuts, veggies inside

Then dip it in the sauce and eat it!  YUM!

WOW!!!! I wish I had this in my backyard so I can have salad everyday fresh from my garden 🙂

This is how they grow the lettuce, first plant them for 15 days

Then transfer them into pots for another 15 days

Water them 🙂

Then transfer them here! WOW!!

The food is exquisite and I’m sure I’d like to come back to this place again in the future. Its a little expensive though, but the experience is truly worth it. Thanks for sharing this article!
