Let's
start
by
saying
that
I
love
the
banana
bread
and
especially
the
egg
pie
at
the
original
Carmela’s
store
in
Tagaytay.
We've
even
travelled
far
just
to
get
it.
So
imagine
my
excitement
when
I
learned
that
they
have
opened
a
garden
cafe.
I
love
going
to
Silang
and
Tagaytay
for
a
good
meal,
Antonio's
Breakfast,
Balay
Dako,
Marcia
Adam's
Garden
and
Bag
of
Beans.
But
I
have
to
say
that
Carmela's
Garden
Cafe
was
a
big
disappointment.
The
garden
is
a
work
in
progress
so
I
can
imagine
that
it
will
look
good
in
a
year
or
2
when
the
plants
and
trees
will
be
fully
established.
The
cats
roaming
around
the
dining
area
was
a
real
big
turn
off.
Let's
talk
about
the
food.
We
ordered
the
Fish
and
Fries
and
cafe
lattes
to
begin
with,
the
fries
were
soggy
and
limp.
The
coffee
came
out
after
the
appetiser.
Ang
tagal
lumabas
ng
coffee.
The
fish
was
very
salty.
We
then
ordered
the
Thai
spring
rolls
(with
prawns)
and
Bangus
sisig.
This
was
an
epic
disaster.
If
you
love
the
taste
of
betsin,
MSG,
Magic
Sarap
then
you
will
love
the
food.
Wala
ka
ng
iba
malalasahan
except
betsin.
It
was
terrible,
naloka
kami
sa
taste.
To
finish
the
meal
we
ordered
the
red
velvet
cake.
This
was
a
saviour,
it
was
delicious
and
consistent
with
what
you
would
get
at
the
Carmela's
store
in
Tagaytay.
Overall
I
would
say
the
prices
are
P40-P50
less
then
Balay
Dako
but
Carmela’s
Garden
Café
has
really
REALLY
bad
and
super
salty
food.
I
would
only
go
back
for
the
desserts.
If
you
want
a
garden
resto
with
really
good
food,
go
to
Balinsasayaw
or
Balay
Dako,
not
Carmela’s.
It's
too
out
of
the
way
to
go
for
food
that
is
just
mediocre
(at
best).
