REVIEW OF FILIPINO RESTO - ROWENA'S CAFE

On my morning exploratory walk I stumbled on this restaurant, which apparently has numerous locations, and we tried their coffee and breakfast times.

[@bernadettepacheco4337]

Ang ganda ng tanawin.

[@mtnluvr]

So relaxing view. I need it right now. Thanks Kuya Kurt.

[@islandjhook]

Kuya Kurt, big fan ako! Salamat sa lahat ng mga video mo! Nakakatuwang panoodin. 🤙

[@charrietv5781]

Kurt, Nice Sharing so relaxing place, Enjoy your meal.

[@cherrymaeaton5142]

Nagutom tuloy ako sayo kuya kurt😂❤

[@bernadetteoneill7014]

Loving that resto especially the "Pasalubong" shop, Kuya Kurt. Might visit Tagaytay one day. Salamat, Kuya 🎉😊👍

[@JoJoTwins]

Kurt, you have truly assimiliated the Filipino way of eating breakfast. It’s very impressive to see an American, eating rice for breakfast. Yan ang tunay na Pinoy!

[@rubygamboa5532]

Thank you for bringing us to places we haven't been to esp in Tagaytay. Now because you have introduced them to us, they are registered in our mind and hopefully someday we could visit these places.

[@jocelynnatividad7319]

It’s another good breakfast Kurt and the view is amazing, I love tagaytay❤

[@bon5621]

Hello po kuya Kurt! Nakakatuwa po yung tuwalya nyo sa balikat. Ang galing nyo po. Classic po kasi yan sa masipag na Pilipinong manggagawa sa mainit na panahon. Pag pinagpawisan, madali lang madampot ang tuwalyang pamunas. 😊

[@kls8670]

Very nice!!! Water served in restos like this are purified, most of the time-- like 98% of the time.

[@jocelynubas4834]

Hello kuya Kurt, you are very adventurous, nice to know there are places we haven't been.

[@erwinflores4737]

That’s how you do it for breakfast. Nice 👍🏽 ang sarap nyan kurt. Sana all! Pinoy na pinoy kana talaga. American with pusong pinoy. Thanks. Always watching from CA. 🇺🇸🇵🇭

[@VangieAquino-yi7dm]

Kuya Kurt, God Bless You, 🙏❤️❤️❤️

[@georginaelliots7666]

So many restaurants in tagaytay... so many to choose from.... especially in places before entering Tagaytay....

[@sweetmorena]

silently watching 👀 your old videos 😶😊

[@alelirafols9699]

First time to watch his blog fully till end. Hay naku, nakakatuwa naman sya 😂. Tagaytay is one of those famous and beautiful places South of the Philippines, cool fresh clean green environment. It is a province to go to against the hot summer months of Metro Manila. Love that location. Your description of the adobo sounds like it's not the typical, authentic Filipino adobo. Perhaps, the cook made his own sort of a little commercialized version to be thrifty on the side ha ha considering that the price is not costly. I guess the real adobo taste would be in some simple and clean carinderias there 😅. We usually go for breakfast there in a famous sort of five-star hotel there, sorry forgot the name, or at One Tagaytay hostel.

[@tagalogkurt]

Yeah it was a slightly different taste than what I'm used to with adobo but it was delicious and the portion was just perfect for me since I'm gaining so much weight eating at all these delicious locations hahaha

[@BingConcepcion-y6y]

Your Tagalog is so impressive. Enjoy and stay safe in your adventures.

[@tagalogkurt]

Thank you! Will do!

[@rlhouse3635]

The view is amazing! Nice restaurant but seems pricey. Not a local but from experience eating in the Philippines, the serving portion looks tiny. The pasalubong section looks interesting. Take care and God bless. 🥰

[@markrivera8587]

Galing BIMPO PATROL k n Kurt lol

[@DannyDell-gm5xd]

I love watching Ur videos! You are funny and very nice guy!❤

[@noyencortezgomez7220]

Rowena's Tagaytay has always been known for their food and..... PIES❗❤ Their apple and buko pies are to die for, I swear. 👍👍

[@OptimusPrime_1985]

Pang BUENA MANO ka ngayon kuya Kurt👌Buon Appetito🤌🏻

[@letglodoveza3435]

Salute to you Kuya Kurt for loving the Philippines . Tagaytay is pricey since you're paying for the view and ambiance also the weather is nice .

[@bittytods]

I love my adobo with fresh cucumber sides or anything green coz it cleanses my palate.♥

[@bokztv2841]

[@dags25678]

Wow sarap niyan

[@ChrisNYC1225]

Kuya Kurt, while you’re in tagaytay you may want to try La VeryOl's Mountain View Garden Tagaytay City, it’s a Kawa Bath and massage. You will sit on a huge wok and the staff will light wooden fire and looks like you’ll be cooked alive 😂. That’s a good content po. They also have restaurant but I didn’t try it so I can’t say my opinion yet. Take care always and stay safe! Enjoy your stay in the Philippines 🇵🇭

[@charmaineporras5517]

the bimpo on your shoulder says a lot about you Kuya Kurt. :D Very pinoy.

[@njacildoty]

Thank you for introducing that place to us your subscribers. I have not been in that side of Tagaytay. I'd love to dine there and buy pasalubongs someday.

[@BigTimeKaVLOG]

Ayun oh nahuli po ako kuya kurt

Hello Kurt. Try the original digman halohalo at Bacoor Cavite. Since mainit sa Pinas tamang tama yon. Im from Bacoor Cavite but living in U.S righg now. Miss n miss ko na kasi ang Home town ko.Please

[@DianaDijamco]

I can only say “ka-gutom” as Kuya Kurt had a spoonful of the meal 😀😊

[@bertreyes7994]

Kuya Kurt, Sabi mo mahilig ka sa matamis. Napansin ko yung Carmen's best sa freezer sa background, kung makita mo uli yan, subukan mong tikman. Masarap yan. By the way, i love your content.

[@MaryEi-1126]

The Rowena's food is quite expensive. I would rather have a buffet type meal para sulit kht pricey. At least marami ka choices. Thanks for sharing the vlog.

[@byronesmejarda4449]

It might be expensive for you but it's just that you're not their target market.

You're so well versed in Filipino language that you're able to describe the landscape of places you go and different foods in first and lower class restaurants the only problem you might gain weight

[@loveihna2525]

Kuya, Punta ka din sa San Juan La Union. Maraming beach hotels dun with restaurants. Marami kang mairereview doon. ☺

[@landrodomingo981]

Tamarind is also called Sampaloc which is fruit from the Sampaloc tree. The leaves are used in a chicken soup dish called "Sinampalukan na manok". It's a sour savory chicken soup dish similar to sinigang taste.

I'm a fan of eat bulaga and had watched today and the I saw you sat down at the back of Allan K during Peraphy segment

[@romeoruiz0605]

Hi Kurt, you should try Chicks ni Otit at Mahogany Rd. Tagaytay. It's a 5star carinderia. It's good! 👍

[@tagalogkurt]

I'll put that on the list the next time I make it down there!

[@concerncitizen8988]

You eat just like a pinoy Kurt. Awesome american. 👍

Barquillos are traditionally eaten with ice cream.

[@nagwagi2000]

Buko tarts and ube tarts ang best seller nila.

[@maryj4876]

The plain rice always balances the savory and saltiness of the ulam.

[@Funkyfil1968]

If you’re still in Tagaytay try Balay Daiko for their brunch buffet. It’s high end and pricy by local standards, roughly $20 per person but it was worth it. The food selection is impressive and the view from their outdoor patio is fantastic. I went there with family while on vacation last year. It was my first trip back to the Philippines since my family immigrated to the US when I was an infant so my cousin was eager to impress. As a contras we also had lunch once a The Manila Hotel. The hotel lobby is beautiful and staff are amazing, but honestly the food at the restaurant wasn’t. To me it was really catering to western tourists which was disappointing.

kuya you need to buy one of those portable handheld mini electric fan for the heat.

[@chrismanahan1533]

it looks good, but for the price, the portion of that adobo is quite conservative. but I guess you are also paying for the view. thanks for liking the Filipino culture, and ingat lagi kuya!

Hi Kurt,were you in Eat Bulaga as a live audience this week?

[@WarayBatasanKuno]

9:37 for me ndi maganda ipares ung white choco mocha sa adobo, cguro mga something like ginger tea, o kea lemon iced tea, or plain black coffee, acidic kc c adobo baka kumulo tyan mo pg nahaluan ng dairy. Kung may 1 hour interval cguro pde kang mg kape ng gnun.

If you’re still in Tagaytay I recommend Antonio’s for fine dining. Recommend Sonia’s Garden too it’s a very relaxing place.

[@tagalogkurt]

Thanks for the tips! I'm in Manila now but I want to get back down to Tagaytay asap!

You should check out those 2 places next time. It’s so worth it I promise. Be safe always

Mr Kurt I saw you on TV @EAT BULAGA

[@saintclaire1201]

Can you please review the places you've stayed in, kuya #TagalogKurt? I'm planning to go to Tagaytay, but dunno where to stay.

[@HaluhalongPuna]

salad and rice together? hindi pwede 😂

[@walkwithyan]

"souvenir" is the common translation for pasalubong but it's not quite accurate. souvenirs are usually bought to be kept by the buyer. pasalubong is bought to be given away to a loved one or friends or family. if pasalubong is not given away, it's not pasalubong anymore. pasalubong is almost always food. souvenirs are not food items most of the time. 😊

Ikaw ba yung nakita ko sa Eat Bulaga?
