Joan-
The pottery items are worth their price, and I’ve always believed that you get what you pay for. Kusina Salud has closed.

Are the pottery items at Ugu’s expensive. wanted to try also Kusina Salud but is the food not worth going to? Thanks and more power.

wow! I’m eating colette’s buko pie right now (yesterday i just got home from laguna).

Hmm.. nothing beats traditional cookery! they may say it’s not very “clean” but you’re right, no one ever gets sick or anything (come on, don’t tell me they don’t do the same thing too)

Lovely blog, eating my pie while reading this makes it more appetizing

Hi Lori!

Next time you go to Quezon, I suggest driving all the way to Tayabas. Tummy stop at Kamayan sa Palaisadaan. Really superb food! Lunch for 8 would barely touch a thousand pesos and you’ll be rubbing tummies by then =). On the way back to Manila, before you reach the new by pass round, there’s Earthkeepers. They whip up wicked sinigang. And a round of organic foodies as well =)

went with my entire family on a partial viaje del sol trip…loved our stay at casa san pablo…we practically had it all to ourselves..loved the tsokolate con pinipig and they made special menu for my diabetic parents at no extra cost…boots and an alcantara and the mom were nice and accomodating and toured us in their lovely house…

loved kusina salud…loved the food and the service…again no extra charge for special menu for my parents…nina tesora was very nice though i didnther personally, she texted (and still does) to make sure we were enjoying ourselves…that was the same day they were featured on aTVPatrol segment so naextra pa kami on nationwide TV heheh

also visited Tahanan ni Aling Meding…which was affordable and cozy

good thing about this people is that they really support each other instead of fighting over customers…i called Ugu Bigyan to resereve lunch for us…he then referred us to kusina salud to make sure we try their buffet

KC – I can never understand why people will gift you with something and then refuse to divulge their source. Smacks of selfishness to me. Anyway, here’s a good source for lengua de gato, paper-thin and crispy, just like you say: Peggy Salazar, 0916.5995440.

Hi Lori. I submitted a comment to this post last April 5 while my family and I spent a night in Tagaytay enroute to a southbound road trip – for some reason it never appeared on your blog despite my repeated posting (which Word Press kept rejecting). Was it expurgated or something? Maybe I shouldn’t have said that seeing a pic of one of the bakers of Colette’s putting buko meat on a custard-filled pie crust WITH HER BARE HANDS makes me have second thoughts about buying their products regardless of how delectable they can be? But of course that’s only my opinion – some people may not mind having pathogens from someone else’s bare hands getting baked along with their pie.
Other than that, your post is as usual very engaging. Your feature on Ugu Bigyan made us change our Black Saturday itinerary to include a shopping visit to this potter’s showroom. Thanks for the traveller’s tips and God bless.
