Nurture Spa Village in Tagaytay is popular for spa retreats and one of their latest facilities... glamping, which is short for glamorous camping.
I was surprised to have the most refreshing dining experience when I did my visit with the Javalava team together with Kristina Gardin and Olga of 8th Wave Corporate Events & Destination Management Agency Singapore.
It was a sunny Sunday afternoon and the wind was a bit chilly. Dulang Restaurant, Nurture Spa Village's al fresco restaurant surrounded by lush greenery, provided the perfect setting for our much-needed out-of-town luncheon.
For starters we were served fresh watermelon shakes. The rest of our meal is actually a long list. Here it is.
Kakaibang Lumpia - fried spring rolls stuffed with smoked mackerel, green mango, and cheese with sweet chili dip
Pinakbet Pockets - a medley of native vegetables enveloped in Napa Cabbage topped with tomato confit
Nurture's Bulalo - vintage soup of slow-simmered beef, bone marrow, and vegetables
Palabok Fresh Spring Rolls - bihon noodles, shrimp, and smoked mackerel in rice wrapper with shrimp bisque and tofu sauce
Chicken Kare Kare Roulade - French chicken breast stuffed with julienne Kare Kare vegetables under peanut puree sauce. My personal favorite! The fried banana blossom is super yummy :)
Pancit Buko - sauteed buko (coconut) strips and vegetables topped with crispy chicken flakes. I first heard of this dish in Tarlac.
Tilapya sa Laing - seared Tilapya (St. Peter's Fish) fillet with taro leaves braised in coconut cream, wrapped in banana leaf
Suman at Mangga - suman (sticky rice rolls) with mangga (mango), wrapped in banana leaf and served with native tsokolate (chocolate). Suman, a Filipino favorite, taken to a whole new level of yumminess. This dessert we almost skipped because we were already too full. I'm so thankful we didn't.
I have to thank the waiters of Dulang Restaurant for patiently explaining each entree that comes to our table.
I still haven't recovered from the delightful gastronomic hangover caused by our last visit but I will be back soon.
