I don't know why, but I always feel the "class" of this couple which I don't feel from other vloggers. 😊

[@malpete]

Exactly and coming from someone named Mr fabulous what a comment 👍😁

[@ravenmaechannel570]

Love neli's outfit. She looks so lovely..🌹😍

[@MakingithappenVlog]

thank you so much!!!

[@bennyventurailokanosongs1880]

[@fawn_the_fairy5721]

agree ✔

[@yoongiminsgirl2320]

Nelly's eyes are so beautiful... 😍 I really love watching you two promoting our country, thank you so much... Please keep safe always & Godbless. More videos 😍😍😍

[@allaneo2]

Ive been there once as i was treated for my birthday. It was so relaxing especially the room. It is not a very unique experience. Especially the restroom of the room. I love the scent of the soap too. I like the evening vibe too. Love the flowers and the food there is okay. After the stay, they gave a tarragon plant (in a pot) as a souvinier.

[@leticiaracoma8289]

Hi team no skipping of ADS........hope are all doing well......keep safe guys..God bless Mike and Nelly.

[@MakingithappenVlog]

awww thank you for the support!

[@graciechavez5736]

Nelly's looking sooo gorgeous in her outfit!Love the color of her dress, she's so lovely!

[@yersinja]

You should also try Marcia Adam's in Tagaytay. They specialize in Mediterranean cuisine. The restaurant itself is very beautiful and romantic.

[@dexterteano6619]

Damn. More videos a week than mark weins and more Filipino viewers a video than mark weins international viewers a day. Filipinos just got a lot of free time on their lives.

[@barrygilbert1002]

Ok! All of you are first, I'm in 100th! With eat all you can, you should go there with an empty stomach.🤣😅😂

[@jumaheratv9605]

I’m hungry while watching you guys Turon with white coffee woow! 😘😘

[@biensanchez3019]

Hi Nelly & Mike ! I am a Pilipino resident of New York ! I always follow your & I am so glad that you enjoy our filipino food besides the wonderful that you have been ! I love you guys !

[@jappystudios8082]

Ooof! Made me hungry in the middle of the video. Wanna have my dinner now. And btw, u should also try their jasmine tea. Really refreshing😊

[@emersonmandal8536]

One of da best vloggers in da world 🌎👏👏👏✌️✌️✌️

[@gracea8661]

I recommend marcia adams, love their food, good vibes and beautiful interior and plants too. Btw they also have man made river in Sonya's garden.

[@twindragonabasola9995]

Hi Kuya Mike ate Nelly I'm watching this video right know. Just pop up in my notification and I check this right a way 😁 Keep safe .. I'm watching from mariveles Bataan.

[@nonyvillaluz]

Black olives. I have olive trees here and it depends how its cured. Green are good but black when its the right ripe taste better.

[@TETRARCHFREAK]

well that place looks worth a 2 hour drive very nice food looks really good

[@snowbirdwanderer986]

In everything they touch seem to turn into green; the dark becomes so bright.. Nelly and Mike sure know how to make it happen..so positive and beautiful more so on the inside..indeed to many of us Filipinos especially, a great wonderful delight!

[@cynthiafabriga6336]

Grüß got Mike und Nellie! I agree with Mike that black olives are the last choice (because in Austria we have the different choices of green olives as well as the filings in it). Nellie's best OOTD and tangerine color blends your personality (cool) As a whole, both of you put a smile on my lips whenever I watch your vlogs. You both have impeccable characters which gives me/us positive vibes espcially during this trying/hard time (pandemic). Good luck! Auf wiedersehen!

[@tictac7659]

I appreciate all your videos to show Philippines 🇵🇭🙏🍽

[@enz2010ligsay]

At first I hated the black/green olives in my salad or in my pizza but as I grew older, i kinda love it.

[@nenabunena]

Orange looks great on you Nelly, it looks like summer and autumn combined

[@mhartinamhartina5483]

Beautiful Nelly as always 😍😍😍 Oh miss turon though

[@kwinnefertiti7073]

Been watching your vlogs instead of studying for my final exams! Love from New Jersey - have fun and stay safe

[@earthsolotraveler4385]

beautiful Nelly. You look beautiful in your outfit with matching mask and folded bandana.

[@eleanorimperio7013]

My family and I have been there twice...we even tried their full body massage. Beautiful bed and breakfast place!

[@basadaemilia3924]

STAY SAFE PO,GOD BLESS.

[@remthanprateepnathalang7895]

I love black olives - and tolerate the green ones. Tom, in Bangkok

[@romeong5218]

Tagaytay is also the comfort place for us to go whenever we are stressed out. Very accessible and just an overnight stay gives you the boost in your energy level...

[@monapreidiman715]

You guys find the great places to visit in the Philippines. How fun is that!

[@paulkettless71]

Team green all the way MIke....

[@petebeltran6899]

[@marialadesma8081]

Neli’s outfit looks stunning....hello from Canada 🇨🇦

[@pogifishing1979]

Wow awesome Cant find that here in california

[@theraperf4864]

stuffed green olives are good but black ones are good for tapenades. tarragon tea matches the weather. nice place for lunch but would prefer an upgrade on the menu. thanks for sharing Mike and Nelly!

[@rm_alfaro]

We stayed at Sonya's Garden for a few days in one of their villas during our company's team building and I couldn't forget the beautiful interiors and bathroom because it's actually quite unique. I didn't see the villa on this vlog though, I wish you could have explored more including their villas because it's actually a huge property not just the restaurant as far as I can remember.

[@elizabethreyes9949]

Love this couple enjoy vlogging here in the Phils... keep safe always ❤️❤️❤️

[@xianlan5818]

Sonia's Garden! Best dalandan juice and salad dressing...

[@tristan9378]

I was actually waiting for Mike to pop that question to Nelly...come on. guys, they have that "spot" in Sonia's =) hehehe

[@terebernardino]

Pls try Nuture wellness village there in Tagaytay too. Many Pinoy dishes to enjoy. They have farm to table concept too

[@Telfund38154172]

Truly Tagaytay has so many great places to eat.....hmmmm missing this so much.....

[@lalachoa]

There are other menu items for special order aside from the sonya’s garden staples of salad/pasta/dessert. My last visit was way back in 2018.

[@ronaldliangco9295]

Nice one beautiful couple our extended kapatid,enjoy,ahold bless you more😍🙏

[@maryangeliebagangdampil3019]

Hi Mike and Nelly ... try go to Verdeview Restaurant . Alfonso Cavite, after Tagaytay zoo .

[@precyjardin]

No matter what green or black I love olive's 😋😋 Enjoy guy's and keep safe always ❤️

[@pilardelapena2763]

We’ve been there several times courtesy of a friend, ging, we really enjoyed our escapade there but the coffee is a lil short , i want a bigger mug or 2 cups of their coffee which is really nice. Their buffet is simple, and mike i love black olives esp in a pizza.enjoy but take care.

[@mikelu2624]

Love Greek olives. Depends how it’s made I guess. Used to go to Sonya’s originally they just served vegetarian dishes. But now they’re more commercialized. You should also try Marsha Adam’s Kitchen. Make sure to time an early dinner and be there before sunset. 👍

[@patriciadefensor2992]

Mango and mayonnaise. Not an odd combination, really. In many Chinese restaurants here and abroad, when one orders prawn and mango salad, one gets a sweet and tangy dish of warm, crunchy prawns and chunks of ripe mango dressed in a concoction of mayo and cream which makes the salad more like a dessert than a side dish or appetizer.

[@jadejacinto5489]

There are a lot of restaurants in Tagaytay you should try... few of them Cafe Voila , Lime and Basil, Bawai's and Marcia Adams

[@denisebessemerchua2531]

I recommend you guys try marcia adams, antonio's breakfast, balai dako... :) you might also wanna try to book an airbnb at one of my fave places in tagaytay which is Narra Hill. You will definitely get a perfect view of Taal Volcano while swimming and relaxing. ❤❤❤

[@ticklesmarie]

Mike, try ordering La Foresta pasta from Cibo. Tomato sauce and black olives on pasta I think it might change your mind.

[@royse9361]

I LIKE ALL VARIETY OF OLIVES... BLK, RED, GRN,BRWN... WITH PIMIENTO FEOM TURKEY,MOROCCO, & SPAIN... I'VE TASTED IT WHEN I WAS IN DUBAI AND I GOT ADDICTED TO ANTIPASTA..

[@rhegztheinspector9736]

I like the black olives than green one..stay safe mike& Nelly..

[@junelulei]

watching your video made my tummy churn.

[@geraldroypanter8890]

[@leidianne6977]

[@alicefallao7844]

U guys makes me hungry while watching ur eating.

[@marlaruce]

There is an organic farm in Silang Cavite (along Emilio Aguinaldo Hiway, left side of the road going to Tagaytay), I think the Gourmet Farms which has a Cafe for dine-in and Pasalubong Center for take out. The foods are superb.

[@MakingithappenVlog]

thank you for the recommendation! will check it out!

[@florindadeguzman3625]

Hello Mike & Nelly,looks like everything is good,i will definitely go next time i go home to the Philippines 😋😋🥰

[@tessnatiola8437]

You guys are amazing💖💖💖

[@sasorishino]

The Sweet potato with honey is really healthy since it has low glycemic index. 😁

[@litocapisonda5115]

I will recommend Leslie's Resto in Tagaytay, you will surely enjoy their foods, please bring with you the co. of George and Lucy.

[@cherrydelrosario4795]

Sonya's Garden 😍

[@tiffanychong1011]

Team black olives here! 🙂

[@angelicashley]

If you want binge eating, you should go try "Vikings" buffet in almost all cities have branches, go to SM Aura, SM MOA, or the Alley BGC or SMJazz Mall.

[@BucketListTravellers]

I like how the drinks colour co-ordinated with Nelly's outfit 😀

[@MelbRB]

You two are great. Olives? It's funny because all my life I've never cared for olives, but in 1996 my wife and I visited Italy. A lunch we had included a salad that had Black olives in it. I tried again to eat them and now I really like Black Olives, I struggle with green olives. I just had to respond, keep up the great vlogs you and Nelly.

[@yeayeachats3843]

Team Black Olives. Just had it last night on a can 😂 because I was too lazy to cook last night. I devoured my sweet and beets chips plus that canned black olives.

[@janicedelacruz2354]

Hi I'm your new subscriber ♥️💕 stay safe 🥰🥰🥰

[@juliaangelicaa5395]

I love kalamata olives straight from Greece 😋

[@mkas2012]

They have roast chicken but you have to order it in advance at Sonyas Garden. And you may also try their fresh baked breads and goodies. Bag of Beans have better pasta. Yes not also a fan of black olives, I rather have the green olives.

[@Simplesexyphone]

I like that black olives on papa john’s 🍕 pizza oh it’s yamilicious...
