♥ Tinapa Cream Cheese Toast (175 php)

You'll find that every dish presented by BOA is a masterpiece.  I never encountered an open-faced multi-grain toast as sophisticated as the Tinapa Cream Cheese Toast.  Ah... how I love the comforting savory flavor of the tinapa-cream cheese...


Sandwiches & Waffles

Chori Burger (295 php)

BOA's interpretation of the Chori Burger offers a full meal in itself.  See there's the peppery chori patty, black brioche bun, coleslaw, fried egg and crispy potato chips on the side.  I would definitely prefer this over a longsilog.

Mains

♥ Steak and Eggs w/ Fries (495 php)

BOA's Steak and Eggs w/ Fries is a highly recommended steak meal.   For such an affordable price, you get tender rib-eye steak with creamy mushroom gravy, double fried runny eggs and potato chips.

English Breakfast (325 php)

Even in hotels, I always opt for an English Breakfast amongst other offerings.  I can always expect it to be heavy and fulfilling.  BOA's version is no different.  It comes with 2 pcs. of toast, 2 pcs. of breakfast sausage links, roasted herbed tomato, potato hash, 2 pcs. bacon and 2 pcs.of fried egg. 

Pasta

♥ Alfredo Pesto Pasta (285 php)

Calling all pesto lovers!  If you're searching for one of the best pesto dishes in the Metro, I present to you BOA's Alfredo Pesto Pasta.   I really like the harmony of the pesto and alfredo sauce.   The ricotta cheese, fresh cherry tomatoes and sun-dried tomato are also my favorites.

♥ Pasta Vongole (285 php)

Dessert

Banana Pie (175 php)

Small Plates

Sisig Croquettes (225 php)

The dinner menu is just as facinating as the lunch menu.  The Sisig Croquettes was a creative idea.  I especially commend the innovation for the toyo-mansi aoili.

Wonton Nachos (245 php)

Looking for the perfect finger food to share?  Then order the Wonton Nachos with fried wanton, pulled teriyaki chicken, sriracha mayo, cilantro aioli, shredded cabbage, onions and cilantro.

♥ Salmon Tatar (345 php)

 I like how Asian flavors from the oriental dressing, wasabi mayo, furikake and ebiko were infused in the Salmon Tatar.  It offered a more explosive flavor than the usual Salmon Tartar dish.

♥ Pulpo (Grilled Octopus) (345 php)

Noodles

Char Kwaey Teow (365 php)

There are only a few places that serves quality Char Kwaey Teow like this one.   Enjoy this hot for best experience!

Pad Thai Chicken (375 php)

For noodles, I personally prefer light and refreshing Pad Thai Chicken.  It has the usual pad thai fare: stir fried glass noodles, tamarind sauce, egg, tofu, bean sprouts and chicken strips.
 
Mains

♥ Beef Rendang w/ Cococnut Lime Rice (425 php)

This has got to be one of the best Beef Rendang w/ Cococnut Lime Rice I've had in awhile. 

♥ Thai Fried Chicken

♥ Crispy Pork Sambal (445 php)

Dessert

Deconstructed Star Anise Cheesecake

Surely, when you see the Deconstructed Star Anise Cheesecake, you'll think that it's a basic dish  you can whip up on your own.  That is, until you try it!

Drinks

Bar + Shots
I'm not much as a drinker as I am a foodie but BOA's drink are as equally interesting.


Aside from the usual blends, there's some color changing element too.


Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
BOA Kitchen + Socials is a chillout place that will definitely leave you a lasting impression.  I really had a great time and would definitely love to come back.  I hope Quezon City warmly welcomes concepts like this as it progressively evolves.

Tagaytay City has become more than just a chill place for people who seek relaxation.  It has now become a food haven.  Aside from the famous established food joints, there are new food places to visit like Meer Cafe.


With Tagaytay City being more commercialized, I really noticed that most restaurants have a high price point. 


When I went to Meer Cafe, I had that impression too because of its chic and cozy ambiance. 


The mismatch tables and chairs offered a cool vibe.  While plush lofts and seats offers a comfortable stay.

Food

♥ Buffalo Chicken Wings (85 php)

Wow!  We were really surprised by their menu.  Everything was under 100 php.  Of course, I was skeptic.  I would think maybe they lacked in taste or the portion is so small.  But, upon trying our first order: Buffalo Chicken Wings, I knew I hit the jackpot by trying out Meer Cafe.

Hot & Spicy Tofu (65 php)

And, the menu had a wide selection.  They even have healthy and vegetarian dishes.

Pasta / Noodles

♥ Pad Thai Noodles (65 php)

Could you believe that their Pad Thai Noodles is only 65 php?   Mind you it is good!  The only thing I could find here that could use an improvement is too lessen the sweetness a bit.

Slider (85 php)

Kids will surely enjoy these Slider.

Lunch x Dinner

♥ Crispy Pata (325 php)

And, surely everyone will love this huge Crispy Pata.

Salad

♥ Chicken With Mango Salad (95 php)

The Chicken With Mango Salad is so fresh!


Chefs Special

♥ Budhas Delight (85 php)

The Budhas Delight is my veggie choice.  This is really a delight to all whether Budha, Buddha, me or you.

♥ Baby Back Ribs (175 php)

One of the must order and incredibly affordable is the Baby Back Ribs.

Dessert

♥ Sizzling Chewy Brownies (60 php)

I don't blame you for over ordering because many will fit your budget but save room for dessert!

Panna Cotta

Cakes

♥Blueberry Cheesecake (1,133 php)

Meer's Blueberry Cheesecake is hands down one of the best cheesecakes I've tried!

♥ Blueberry Cheesecake (1,133 php)

Drinks

Iced Caramel Macchiato (65 php)

The drinks are instagram-worthy but they are also as sweet as they look.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
If you're in Tagaytay and looking for a satisfying meal that guarantees that you won't break the bank even when you're in big groups, Meer Cafe is the best option!  I don't think you can find an incredibly delicious yet affordable meal like this in Tagaytay and more so in Metro Manila.
