Antonio's, Tagaytay, Philippines (Revisited)

 

Tucked away in the rolling hills of Tagaytay, this elegant restaurant is dedicated to
providing the best quality food, excellent service and perfect ambience. Many would agree with me that Antonio's is possibly one of the best restaurants in the Philippines.

Antonio's- Tagaytay, Philippines

Traveling to the city of Tagaytay takes less than two hours from Manila by car. It is one of the most ideal places to unwind and relax, enjoy the cool weather, experience local cuisine or just absorb the wonderful sights of this beautiful city. 

The famous Taal Volcano

Bananas are sold very cheap in Tagaytay.

Situated in the rolling hills of Tagaytay, Antonio's is hailed as one of the best fine dining restaurants in the Philippines and is the only restaurant that has consistently been ranked Top 20 in the Miele Guide.

Chef-owner Tony Boy Escalante studied in Regency Park Institute of TAFE in Adelaide, Australia then returned to Philippines to open Antonio's in 2002. They grow most of their livestock and produce and  provide some to other finer restaurants in Manila as well. This elegant restaurant housed on a beautiful one-hectare property is a must-try for foodies, it only takes one bite to know it is good! Antonio's is more than just a restaurant, it's an experience in itself.

Gunther's Modern French Cuisine, Singapore

Despite being a small country, Singapore has unlimited choices of where to eat. From street food to fine dining, you will be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of succulent dining options.

The vibrant colours of colonial houses jump out.

Gunther's is one of Singapore's most highly respected restaurants. My family and I love to eat particularly fine dining restaurants of this standard around the world.
Our overall experience at Gunther's was fantastic. It's got a lovely romantic ambience, food was wonderful and service was friendly. My 8 year old son was very impressed he couldn't stop talking about it.

The fresh specials brought to us on tray were Alaskan King Crab, Maine Lobster, Norwegian Scallop and Sea Cucumber

Bamboo Clam Mariniere-Style

Glazed Ravioli Foie Gras

Carpaccio of Scallop, Olive Oil and Seasonal Garnish Topped with Truffles

Gunther's Creation, Pasta with Tiger Prawns

Grilled Striploin, Bearnaise Sauce

Raspberry Panacotta

Petits Fours- Canele-Mignardise
The canele was crunchy on the outside yet soft on the inside. It was lovely.

The legendary Raffles Hotel is one of the few remaining Grand Hotels in Asia. The hotel has a nice old colonial charm and style to it and everything feels British India. I absolutely love it!
