A Goat Feast - Luzon Leg Part 1

The plan was to leave at 5 in the morning but that was just a plan anyway :-). We wheeled off at 7 instead. Fortunately the weekend traffic was light and we were blessed with good weather. Breakfast at Tagaytay was scratched and we thought of having it at Villa Escudero instead. It was a non-eventful two hour drive going there.

My 3 passengers clearly were hungry when we alighted. Bad news, we were required to pay the full day resort fee even if all we wanted to have was breakfast. So Villa Escudero was scratched too. That was just a plan anyway :-). A few minutes drive though led us to Fiesta in Tiaong, Quezon Province.

The name did not disappoint we had a feast for breakfast. Goat feast that is. Kilawing Kambing ( Goat Ceviche ), Calderetang Kambing ( Goat Stewed in Tomatoes ), Papaitang Kambing and Sinigang na Hipon. Best part was it only cost us 500 Pesos (roughly 11US$) with drinks and bottled water for such an unusual breakfast feast.

Aside from Villa Escudero another popular spot near Tiaong would be the beaches of San Juan. I suggest when you take this road trip throw away a fixed schedule. It's fun to find out what is at the end of the intriguing fork in the road for those of you who are adventurous or at least search google maps with your handheld for those of you who are a bit more cautious. We opted to skip the beach because we are looking forward to a better one near the end of this journey, Gumasa Beach in Glan Saranggani Province.
