It was a chilly Christmas night when the family found Tootsie's Homemade Specialties.
Entering Tootsie's felt just like visiting a relatives home. It's facade doesn't look at all like a restaurant. It felt like a warm and welcoming house.
As we entered, the place echoed with a chorus hymn as the choir of nuns sang Christmas carols.
The table setting is simple and cute.

Pancit BukOh! (187 php) |
For staple, we ordered the Pancit BukOh! This is our first time to try a coconut infused pancit so we were really intrigued by this.

Pancit BukOh! (187 php) |
We absolutely loved the presentation. At first glace, you'd think it's just coconut. But if you mix it, you'll see that it's a pancit dish. This is so good. The coconut and the pancit combination is amazing!

Sus Kadyos (340 php) |
My mom cooks Kadyos at home in Ilocano style because that's where she grew up. But, Tootsie's Sus Kadyos is cooked Ilonggo style so it is new for us. This is a chunky soup with lots of pork bits. A must try!
|
Inihaw na Maliputo (190 php/100 grams) |
The highlight of our meal is the Inihaw na Maliputo. It is a bit expensive but I swear it's so heavenly! I'd go to Tagaytay just for this alone.
Sweet Toots
|
Turon Halo-Halo (128 php) |
Tootsie's is really impressive because even their desserts are innovative. The Turon Halo-Halo is delicious!
|
Ube Palitaw (105 php) |
The
Ube Palitaw is equally good.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
I always believed that dining is experiential. Our dining experience at
Tootsie's is so good that as I'm writing this, I can once again feel the warm nostalgic joy I felt when I dined there with the family. I definitely want to go back and try more of their offerings.
