Turon de Ube with Sweetened Banana {₱225}
I think that it’s just right to start this post with dessert. Served hot and the perfect way to end our lunch was this deep fried ube wrapped in lumpia wrapper. Complemented by the caramelized sugar candy on top. I reminded myself that I am on a diet and is cutting back on sweets. I took a bite of the ube, didn’t mind that I could burn my tongue because it was fresh from the frying pan, followed by a piece of the candy— and felt my resistance melting away. I knew I had to give in to this dessert.
After all, this is the best part of our meal at the Sol Cafe At the Terrazas de Punta Fuego.
Terrazas de Punta Fuego is an enclave of the Punta Fuego Resorts, a world-class residential beach resort located in the heart of Nasugbu, Batangas.
It was four hours away from Manila but since I am a slow newbie driver and I had a couple of stopovers {read: Starbucks}, I got it in 6 hours. Not to mention the foggy road in Tagaytay-Nasugbu Highway where in I had to drive really slow. This is where my long weekend went.
Calamares {₱365}
We very much had a light lunch in mind so we ordered a couple of appetizers. This crispy and tender calamares is one of them.
I so very much wanted to pair it with the Fruit and Nut Salad that I ordered but never came. I guess they overlooked it but they had no reason to because there weren’t a lot of customers at that time.
Oh well, the sights made up for the lousy service….. They had an amazing swimming pool and the ambience at the cabanas are captivating. {More of those at http://www.mommypeach.com soon}
Buffalo Chicken Wings {{₱265}
This is the other appetizer I’m taking about. I was craving for this three days before the trip so when I had the chance to eat one, I did. The menu said it came with a garlic dip, as with any other buffalo wings but it didn’t have any when it was served, I had to ask for it. What was nice, though, is the waiter promptly gave me one when I asked.
Lychee Shake {₱150} & Green Mango Shake {₱150}
Margherita Pizza {₱365}
This is what happens when you don’t read the menu. When I ordered Margherita Pizza, I was expecting basil leaves & tomato slices topping the pizza like there’s no tomorrow. Apparently, the menu at Sol Cafe only says tomato, onion and mozzarella cheese. I should’ve ordered Diabola or Vegetarian instead because I love how thin and crispy the crust was.

That is one of the main benefits of going to cool resorts with fine dining restaurants — you get introduced to nouveau cuisine and stunning desserts. I’m captivated by your lead photo — the ube turon and sweetened saba!

This is such a lovely place! And you took such good shots too! …Now this makes me want to go on a vacation.
Oh my! That turon ube and sweet banana are presented in a fancy way! I am starting to miss the nice Pinoy desserts we have back home! Thanks for sharing about their service. It’s good to note that so we don’t have to drive all the way to Nasugbu only to be disappointed by the service despite of the good food and ambiance. Lovely pictures by the way!!!
