I adore this little gem tucked away in Tagaytay. I discovered it by accident and was refused entry simply because they were full and could no longer accommodate additional customers. Are they snobby? Not quite. In fact, they’re amazingly friendly! It’s just that when I said “little” earlier, I really meant it. Bawai’s is the home of the Tatlongharis. They entertained a lot of friends and because the food was soooooooooo good, people started knocking on their door. There’s 5 tables and they only serve food during the weekend. They want to keep the quality of their food and are working hard to make sure the place doesn’t become commercialized. It’s one of the reasons why I love the place. You know you’re in for a treat and the food is definitely one of the best I’ve ever had. I’ve always loved Vietnamese food but Bawai’s dishes are refreshing and light.
It also helps that Paul Tatlonghari is über friendly and helpful. The first time I called him up to make reservations, he offered to whip up a set meal that will allow my friends and I to sample their best dishes. Needless to say, the experience was perfect and we were back the following weekend and the week after that.
Overall, the whole experience feels like a weekend with a dear relative. I go to Bawai’s when I want good food and a relaxing trip away from the hustle and bustle of Metro Manila.
