Calling All Oessie! (Part 2)

A few things that caught my attention were this chocolate bar with "I LOVE YOU" on it. With Valentine's being so near, I asked AG to give me one and lo and behold, this funny packaging holds the creamiest Belgian chocolate with hazelnut! It's not cheap (P115) but splurging on a bar of chocolate is allowed once in a while.


A shot of schnapps which all the whiteys took before leaving was fun. They were dancing and singing this song and then down the drink went. Since it is a farewell shot, it is free!!


The coasters! As we got settled and were talking amongst each other, it always felt like someone was staring at us.


These are flowers that the kids picked up from the ground. I have never seen anything like it and it made really cute shapes! Love the color too!



And now, the speise (food)!









So after Chateau Hestia, we went to Cliffhouse to have dessert. We met up with CJ and Lucille who couldn't make it to our early dinner at the Chateau. We talked about how beautiful the place was and so after dessert, we went back to the Austrian restaurant for more beers and wine! AG was more than happy to give them a tour.

If we loved it during the day, we equally love it at night when the stars were all so close and bright. The weather was even more perfect and the ambiance was uber romantic.

Johannes and wife, Maria, were more than happy to see us even stating that it is the first time it has happened. A return customer in less than 3 hours.

CJ loved the beer so much that he bought the whole keg! Put it in the car and told us to take care of it as if it were his newborn!

Calling All Oessie! (Part 1)

Your home in Austria has been built in Tagaytay.

Thanks to friends Christian and Irene, we were able to find a very quaint, beautiful and amazing restaurant in Tagaytay last weekend called Chateau Hestia. Only minutes away from the ridge, this place still carries the fresh air and nice green surroundings that we enjoy in Tagaytay so much.

This particular weekend, they were serving assorted wines from Austria by the glass (P90.00), set menu and Austrian beer.


Guess who had the time of his life??


By the garden, our tables were set next to a small playground where the kids went crazy over. The weather was perfect and the service was really great. Owner Johannes Zehethofer served the guests himself and entertained when he could. He is a very gracious man.

AG felt truly at home and never wanted to leave.
