Brunch at Josephine's

Tagaytay City is about 2 hours from the heart of Metro Manila. It is the home of Taal Volcano, which is known for 2 things:

1. It's the world's smallest active volcano (small but terrible)

2. It is situated in Taal lake, and has a lake inside it (a lake within a volcano within a lake)

One of the better-known restaurants in the city is Josephine's - a great place for brunch buffets with family and bibingka! Too bad I got too distracted with the rest of the food that I had forgotten to buy bibingka! Check out the buffet!

Filipino rice pastries sans the bibingka.

Adobo rice and fried rice. Filipinos typically get the sauce of their dish (in this case, Adobo) and add it to white rice while it's in the frying pan.

Here's what I got - I really enjoyed the buttered vegetables and the salted egg with tomatoes!
