I have heard a number of good reviews on this Vietnamese restaurant in Tagaytay. On our last weekend anniversary getaway, I decided to reserve for our Saturday lunch in Bawai’s Restaurant. I made a call the Monday before and was surprised to learn that they are already fully booked so they were just offering me to take a late lunch of 130pm. Since I really wanted to try it, I accepted the offer. They sent me via SMS messages their menu saying that we can already order prior so they can prepare the food already and be served right away. I replied back with my orders but didn’t get a confirmation if they got it.
That late Saturday morning, we headed to Tagaytay. We were already starving when we got in the restaurant around 120pm. The front of the restaurant (which looks like a house) was full of cars, an indication that there were lots of people dining in.
We were ushered in a small cabana with about 2 tables. 1 table was already occupied by three girls. We were led to the other table. We were left there and waiting for someone to come and hand to us a copy of the menu. But it was taking a while that my husband have to get up and talk to someone from outside. Apparently, they took note of our order already via SMS message too and they were already preparing it to be served.
Soon enough, our orders were served. But we still requested for a copy of their menu so we could add a soup.
We started off with the salad and the appetizer…
Goi Thit Tom
It is Shrimp and Pork with Lotus and Summer Vegetables. Superb crispiness of the vegetables. And I love the somehow sweet and sour sauce. A must-try!
Goi Cuon
Of course, you are not eating in a Vietnamese Restaurant if you won’t try Vietnamese Fresh Roll with Pork Strip and Shrimp and Veggies. This is so yummy! See that fresh shrimp right on top? And it comes with the perfect peanut sauce.
Pho Bo
The beef is so tender and the soup is so tasty. Another best seller – Beef Noodle Soup
Com Tam Bi
Grilled Pork Rib with Vietnamese Omelet serve with Rice – the pork rib is also tender and juicy. I like the omelet too.
Bo Kho
This is Vietnamese Beef Stew serve with Rice. I love how stewed it is and a perfect combination to the plain rice. This is a very yummy dish.
Overall, we enjoyed our hearty lunch. We also ordered their Pandan iced tea which is a very refreshing drink. I highly recommend ordering it. The prices are affordable too. You won’t regret dining here. We weren’t able to try their desserts as we were already so full and cannot wait to just rest in Discovery Country Suites. But I think there will be a next time as we do intend to go back to this restaurant.
For reservation, you may call 0920-9722924.
Location: From SLEX take Sta Rosa exit, then to the Highway going to Tagaytay, go straight till you see Tagaytay City Market on your right, then turn right, go straight, watch/look for Dominican House of Prayer Sign (approximately 1km away) then turn right. Go straight till you see BAWAIS sign on your right (approximately 1.9km away), then turn right, go straight till you see Bawai’s Restaurant on your left. Do not expect to really see a restaurant as it really looks like a house from outside.

I always get queries from clients on what to give their male principal sponsors and even their male entourage. Sometimes, I am really lost with ideas already aside from the usual wines, pens and neckties as options . Recently, I came across these nice Gift Baskets for Men. I didn’t realize that these goodies could actually be great present for men especially those sugar-free sweets and savories. I also like those coffee inspired gift basket. Glad such options are now available in the market.

is the new way for events recently. Weddings are not spared, some clients are opting for LED Screen instead of the usual projector screen. In the recent event we did last week, our theme was a bar set-up. We even have to hire four photographers that will act as paparazzi photographers while the guests are going down the red carpet. We also hired 4 big men bouncers. Our set-up for the registration even includes a bar stool and a lighted signage of the bride and groom’s monogram.

I am still not done with my christmas shopping. I think I need to allot few more days to actually finish everything. I am loosing some ideas on what to give to teenage nephews. Any suggestions? I saw some nice jackets from Jimmy Jazz. I wonder if my nephews would actually like those coogi clothing but they are just so cute. In fact, they offer great discounts and even guarantees that items would be shipped before christmas. I particularly love their men’s outwears. Saw something that my husband would even like.

Heard it is a big store in SM Megamall. And Allied Bank even has a treat – 0% interest.
Looking forward to see the store soon!

While consulting with our interior designer on where to get the door knobs that I emailed her last week, (yes we are changing for security purposes), she mentioned to me about this…
I immediately asked the husband if we could schedule a trip here while it’s on promo. And so happy that he agreed! Since there would be 2 long weekends (holidays) on August, we are taking the opportunity to have that quick getaway on one of those weekends. I’m looking forward to just lounge around in the suite we got. It would be a great time to relax. I hope the weather would cooperate.

I so love the newest promo from HSBC credit card this time. Learned about it from a pop displays I saw from most of Starbucks counter like this one…
I am a sure patron of this promo. As you know Starbucks coffee shops have been my regular meeting venues. Good thing, I was really keeping all those charge slips. The promo would run from April 1-June 30. Redemption would be until August 30. Just be aware that they would get your charge slip so if you are keeping track of it like me to counter check with my bill, better to just record your purchases. Now, I would have to split up my grocery shopping to different charge slips so I could get more of these free drinks! You get mabuhay miles from PAL by using this credit card and you also get free drink from starbucks. I love it!!!

The husband might attend a golf tournament in Baguio next week. I am so hoping to join especially after seeing this promo…
Oh, but I’ve got tons of meetings as well next week so I am not sure if I can still reschedule most of it. Work is just tremendous this time as I am trying my best to finish all tasks on hand so I won’t be bothered when we go on vacation on May. But heard that it is also very hot in Baguio recently so it may also not be a good idea to go up. Oh well, will just see…
