Bulalo Haven: Mahogany Market Tagaytay


Last Sunday, my friends and I went to Tagaytay to celebrate our 7 years of friendship.  Of course, celebration is not complete without food. We chose Tagaytay  because of it's cold weather and all of us were craving for the  famous soup in town, the Bulalo (Beef and Bone Marrow Soup). Though most of us have health issues and we knew for a fact that Bulalo is synonymous to cholesterol, we grab the opportunity to experience as per many  people are suggesting the best bulalohan (canteen/eatery that sells bulalo soup)  in Tagaytay which can be found at Mahogany Market Tagaytay.



The Bulalohan were located right in front of the market.  Mahogany Market is where you can buy the freshest beef and that's the reason why the bulalohan in Mahogany Market were quoted as the best bulalo in Tagaytay.  They use fresh beef and bone marrow every time they cook to result a flavorful bulalo soup.




Aside from Bulalo, the stores also offers other Filipino dishes. I took some pictures of the food we ordered and their corresponding prices will be posted as captions.
Adobong Pusit (Squid) Php 120.00
Crispy Tawilis (one of my favorite, best with Bulalo) Php 100.00

Bulalo Soup (good for 2-3 person / Php 300.00)


Nilasing na Hipon (Shrimps marinated in salt, pepper, Sprite/7Up or Beer then fried.) Php 150.00


Sisig (Sizzling Pig ears or mask) Php 250.00

According to the food attendant, the serving size of Bulalo is for 2-3 persons but in my opinion it's good up to 4 persons.  Tawilis was really crispy, comes with their seasoned vinegar.  Adobong pusit and the nilasing na hipon were usual. Sisig was a disaster. I could say that the price of Bulalo and Tawilis were fair due to their serving size and taste but the others were overpriced specially the Sisig. And also consider the fact that the canteen were located in the market.  Sisig in Metro Manila costs around Php150.00-190.00 in most restaurants. Anyways, what's important was we're satisfied with the Bulalo.

If you want to give this a try, the Mahogany Market is located at Mahogany Avenue.  From Tagaytay Rotonda, follow the road going Nasugbu.  When you reach the Y-road with a Petron station in the middle, turn right and just follow the road going to Amadeo and Mahogany.
