I hope you're not getting tired of my Tayabas series. I'd like to show you the rest of Palaisdaan Restaurant.
Obviously, I love this place---the concept of huts by the fish pond and their promotion of traditional Filipino cuisine are wonderful. Palaisdaan is sitting in a 1.3 hectare elevated land at the foot of Mount Banahaw, approximately 136 kilometers from Manila and 8 kilometers from Tayabas town center. I love the food, the rustic ambiance, the lush vegetation, the cool climate and the abundance of water.
Aside from it's idyllic beauty, I've been returning to Palaisdaan for their ginataang suso with pako (native escargot with wild fern cooked in coconut milk). This dish is a native delicacy not easily found in Manila restaurants, and the fact that native escargots are eaten by sucking the meat from the shell makes it more exciting! The authentic feel of country life is something you can't buy in malls and restaurants in the city. The restaurant has 34 huts, 24 of which are floating, and a couple of pavilions for big events. The water in the fishponds, fountains and waterfall is coming from a nearby spring. Prices are reasonable---around P250/person. I also bought kesong puti (white cheese made from unskimmed carabao's milk) and native sweets from a vendor roaming around the restaurant.
I love this nook by the parameter fence...it's a great place to sit quietly while having a cup of coffee, and gaze at the beautiful view of rice fields and Mount Banahaw.

And all this washed down with a few bottles of pure lambanog...;-)
Luna, anything rustic, Filipiniana will never bore me. It is something like a free tour and I enjoy every post you do. I just cant believe so much has been developed not only for locals but also for international guests.
Sidney, you know Pinoys so well! lol
I tried two shots of lambanog in Tayabas---my gosh, it felt like I've swallowed fire! i was literally expecting fire to come out of my mouth!:D
Yes, so true, country life is something you can't buy i malls and restaurants. Beautiful shots! I enjoyed seeing them. :)
that's a perfect place if you wanna unwind and let go of city life...
