Business Planning season! I will be quite preoccupied until the end of this week. Thank you all for visiting my blog. Hope things let up after our planning.
At any rate, we had an event at Tagaytay last week. While on the way to the town proper to buy some school supplies, we spotted Mushroom Burger, a restaurant where they use mushrooms for the patty. You may also buy mushrooms if you want. We decided to drop by for a quick lunch.
Mushroom Burger once had a branch in Greenbelt. But when the place was renovated years ago, the restaurant row disappeared, which included a Japanese shop (was it Tokyo Tokyo?) and a "lugawan" (congee shop). So I believe you can have your Mushroom Burger craving only at Tagaytay these days.
The place is laid-out cafeteria-style. My companion said the place gets filled with customers in the weekends. Students also have field trips there and visit their mushroom farm which is adjacent to the restaurant.
I had my first mushroom burger years ago, so I was likewise excited to taste it once again.Well... I was a bit disappointed actually. Filipinos in general like their burgers sweet, but in this case I wanted to really taste the patty. But the dressing (mayo and ketchup combination) overpowered everything else. My companions, though, loved it, and they were pleasantly surprised that it was like eating a regular burger.
The photos by the counter, of course, displayed really nice photos of the burgers. We ordered the jumbo versions. But when it arrived ... it mushroomed! Oh well. Sign of the times eh?
Maybe it's just me. Maybe I expected too much. Anyways, if you happen to drop by Tagaytay and get curious about having mushrooms for lunch, do drop by there and let me know!
kagagalig ko lang nang tagaytay fiesta kasi sa haus ng friend ko sa mendez. nagyaya akong kumain diyan sa mushroom burger. sabi ng barkada ko sa west ave na lang daw

ReplyDeletenatikman ko na yung mushroom burger na talagang malapad sa mushroom na inilagay sa tinapay,ang sarap! meron kasi ako nakita ngayon parang grinded na mushroom na mukhang hamburger.
ReplyDeleteyan ang kinain namin ng aking ex husbandry nung una niya ako'ng dinala sa tagaytay...lasang hamburger naman talaga, so for the health conscious, this should be a treat :)
ReplyDeleteThat's what we noticed too on our last visit. The mushroom burger seemed to have shrunk. But at least, it still tasted the same.
