Mushroom Burgers

Who would've thought that you could grow and harvest burgers?

There's this old burger joint (on a mountain ridge along the way to our resthouse) that we've frequented over the years. It has grown quite a bit from its humble beginnings, and you could see where the new parts have been built over the old building; a new dining room, a toy train chugging around the walls, a new patio/veranda, etc.

As kids, my brother and I would play on the small playground/park behind the building, and I would stay away from the parts where the grass has grown too thick because I'm scared some snake would bite my exposed ankle. Even when I was already in highschool, and my bro a college student, we would still play at the swings, climb the stone slide, and scare the chickens.

Memories played a big part for our regular visits there, but of course we came for the food.

Burgers made entirely of mushrooms stacked on top of Hongkong rice, a side dish of assorted mushrooms with a whole hard-boiled egg, lots of gravy, and a mushroom egg-drop soup.

A delicacy to die for; meals fit for a king! (or president). We had an experience of meeting a former president dining here before. Haha~

And since it's Holy Week, there's a custom of abstinence; of staying away from eating meat until Easter Sunday. Fortunately, there are burgers that aren't made from meat. Tastes a whole lot better too~

Guess what the place is called? Yep, Mushroom Burger. That's what they're famous for~!

I'm dying to taste this. I wish i can go to Tagaytay before we go to Japan. It's very intriguing.

Oh my goodies, you should DEFINITELY come and try it!! ('them' actually, there's a wide range of menu to choose from)

My parents ordered a dish of fish caught fresh from the lake below; it was covered in flour and golden fried to perfection. Of course it was served with lotsa mushrooms~

I forgot to mention that we ordered a take-out of jumbo mushroom burgers with slabs of cheese. It was so creamy and juicy. I really prefer mushrooms over beef now.
