Maybe last year...I cannot recall exactly when, I posted photos of Mother Earth's Garden. I may have fantasized aloud about the location being perfect for a cafe...
This has been the story of my life for the past decade...witnessing others fulfill some "crazy" idea of mine which I could not have implemented myself.
However, I would have capitalized on this view of Mt. Makiling and built a second level with big picture windows, or just an open balcony. (Unless that is in their expansion plans). Sniff, sob, I guess I am still reeling from the loss of King Bee's Makiling view...
Here is where Concha's is located. Next to the Petron in Puting Kahoy, Silang. For Manilenos and other non-Silang/Sta. Rosa residents, this is on your way to Tagaytay. Right across the Adventist University's (AUP) fence and grassy field.
Now I don't know the owners, though the owner/chef was there the times I dined. She is not one to introduce herself to customers, or even smile at us I think. The man, while also being discreet in a corner, is the more welcoming one.
Finally and the most important detail: her food is good. It's a full-blown restaurant, to my mind, not just a cafe. Everything we've ever order was...yummy...lovely presentation, flavorful, and matches the cozy Spanish-influenced Filipino home ambience, and of course, the garden. The last dish my taste buds still recall is...the Sinampalukang Manok. Go and try it.
