Diner's Original Bulalo — Restaurant in Tagaytay

Bulalo is a delicious Filipino beef soup that is known for its rich and flavorful broth. It is typically made with beef shanks and bone marrow, along with various vegetables and spices. Here's a simple recipe for making Bulalo soup:

Ingredients: 2 lbs beef shanks with bone marrow 1 onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and quartered 2 medium-sized corn on the cob, cut into thirds 1 medium-sized cabbage, quartered Fish sauce (patis) or salt, to taste Ground black pepper, to taste Water Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions: In a large pot, add the beef shanks and enough water to cover them. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Skim off any scum that rises to the surface. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cover and let it simmer for about 2 to 3 hours or until the beef is tender. Once the beef is tender, remove it from the pot and set it aside. Strain the broth to remove any impurities. Return the strained broth to the pot. Add the potatoes and corn on the cob. Simmer until the vegetables are tender. While the vegetables are cooking, remove the beef marrow from the bones and set it aside. Once the vegetables are tender, add the cabbage to the pot and simmer for a few more minutes until it is wilted. Season the broth with fish sauce or salt and ground black pepper according to your taste. To serve, place a few pieces of beef shank, bone marrow, and vegetables into individual bowls. Ladle the hot broth over them. Garnish with chopped green onions. Serve the Bulalo soup hot with steamed rice.

Diner's Restaurant Tagaytay - A Mixed Review

Our visit to Diner's Restaurant Tagaytay left us with a somewhat mediocre experience. On the positive side, the service was decent, and the serving time was within an acceptable range. The restaurant also boasts a relaxing view of Taal, which adds to the ambiance.

However, the downside of our visit at Diner's was the combination of high prices and food quality. It was disappointing to find that the signature bulalo, priced at almost 900 pesos, mostly consisted of bones and ligaments with only a scant amount of meat. The portion sizes, in general, didn't seem to justify the cost of the dishes.

Moreover, the experience at Diner's gave off the feeling of a tourist trap, where prices might be inflated due to the location and view, which further added to our disappointment.

In conclusion, Diner's Restaurant Tagaytay offers a relaxing atmosphere and decent service, but the high prices, underwhelming food quality, and the sensation of being in a tourist trap may leave patrons feeling somewhat...

Too many Diner's Original Bulalo in Tagaytay! And since I am not originally from that place, I am really not familiar which branch I went to but in general, I always look for and come back to Diner's (no specific branch) whenever we are in Tagaytay or if we wanted to have another taste of its famous bulalo!

I had a chance to eat Bulalo to other restaurants in the area but we realized we are happier with Diner's because ---

Servings - it's a lot. It says 2-3 person but it can always cater to us 6 people and we can even "sharon" it for home! 😅

Service - well.. previously, they have free coffee and this is one of the reason we came back as we love coffee specially if its for free! But, this recent visit they no longer serve it. That's sad.

Pasalubong Stop- Diner's and Cecilia's go hand-in-hand so it easy for us to buy pasalubong while the rest of the family are waiting for the food to be served

Mode of payment - cash or card Parking - available but might be challenging...
