On the way to Tagaytay, Roselen told me about this Cassava place by the Sta. Rosa exit. You have to really watch out for it or else you will miss it. It’s on the left side of the road if you are going towards Tagaytay
We did not get to eat it right away – maybe a week after!
We just heated it in the microwave for a few seconds and wow! SO YUMMY!!!
I heated another one with grated parmesan cheese – EVEN MORE YUMMY!!!!

To be a member of the Beach Club, you have to be a resident of Kawayan Cove. Our good friend Gil did such a great job in building this beautiful home for Larry and Roselen !!
It’s a three story house
Main floor are the rooms
Master bedroom with a beautiful bed – Voyage by Kenneth Cobonpue
Lighting fixtures by Kenneth Cobonpue
Living room which is a mixture of modern and old. Lolah Chair by Kenneth Cobonpue and a sala set which Roselen got from Larry’s grandparents- she just repainted them
I really liked the wooden Filipiniana dining table which is also a hand me down
View from the dining room – I told Roselen to remove those trees so you can see the beach 🙂 Behind those trees is the beach. You can hear the sound of the water
Going down to the garden level
Nice!! This is the bigger set of the furniture handed down to them by Larry’s grandmother
The view of the house from the garden – beautiful architecture!!!

I was so happy to join the boys in their summer outing! Thank you Roselen for organizing this. I wish we could do this more often. In Kawayan Cove, they have a shuttle that picks you up from your house to bring you to the Beach Club This is the reason why its better to take the shuttle, it’s steep going downhill Here we are! It was a weekday and we had the whole beach all to ourselves!!! BLESSING!!!! That day, it was our private beach! To the left Roselen tanning as soon as we got there and watching the kids swim in the beach The waves were so strong the kids were having a blast jumping on them Scouting the place – the dining area We wanted to have a massage so we went to the spa to check it out It’s a Bahay Kubo! An old one 🙂 You can hang out here or use one of the rooms for massage But Wendy had her massage by the beach instead – good idea! Wendy and Roselen ordering our food This must be the tunnel President Aquino mentioned that took so long to open – and they had just opened this a few days and we used it soon after [email_link]

This entry got left behind in the San Francisco series. But this is an important part of our trip especially if Dad and Mom are with us. They are always nostalgic when we are in SF and they like to visit all their old spots 🙂 We used to live across Japan town and so this became our hang out too as kids. It’s still the same from long ago with some few stores that have changed. It’s looking a bit old but it is clean and has many choices of Asian restaurants and quaint boutiques selling Japanese and other Asia items We head down to restaurant row to have our lunch Lunch at this place where Dad and Mom used to always eat in. We are reminiscing 🙂 After lunch a little window shopping And my favorite is now here! 🙂 [email_link]
From the freezer, I chose the Mikawaya Green Tea Exottics and had myself a scoop and took home the rest of the pint- YUM!
