Soft Luxe Travels: Taal Batangas - Shopping at Amira's Tagaytay

 

Amira's is a place we visit time and again whenever we're in Tagaytay. They have a curated selection of pasalubong (homecoming gifts). I was already up the steps when I remembered that I haven't taken a photo of the facade yet, but I said I'll do it later when we go out. Then I argued with myself that I might forget. "Should I do it now?" I turned around and then said, "Nah, I'll do it later. Memo to me: Take a photo of the facade." And of course, I forgot! 😆

This is the cafe connected to Amira's, but you have to go out of Amira's and use this door to go in. The door from Amira's to this cafe was locked. My sister said that their coffee is good. I've never seen this place with customers though. The vibes inside were pretty nice and cozy. 

They have a variety of nuts,  sweet and spicy dilis (dried anchovies), and dried pusit (squid)

Different kinds of biscuits

Different kinds of chips like banana chips, lettuce chips, shing-a-ling

Barquillos, different kinds of turones, dried mangoes. I love the barquillos from this place! It's not too sweet and doesn't crumble/break easily. The cashew turones are good, too. Reviews soon in my food blog!

Here we have different kinds of cookies and sweets

Chicharon and Okoy. Okoy (fritters) can either be crunchy or chewy. These okoy are made with tiny shrimps and fried to a crisp. Other okoy are made with vegetables or a combination of vegetables and shrimps.  This okoy is really good and it lasted a few weeks after opening. They were crunchy up to the last bite! The okoy are in those round packaging. 

Coffee, honey, different fruit teas, tablea, coco jam

Our favorite crinkles! They have a strawberry version, too, but I'm pretty loyal to chocolate. They have breads and macaroons, too. 

Brownies and buco pie

They have lots of different tarts today. I didn't see this the last time we went to Tagaytay.

Lots of goodies in this fridge. Aside from the sodas, juices, water, and iced teas, they also have leche flan (our favorite! I got 3 trays) and different kinds of cheese tarts (we tasted the mango one on our last trip. Review soon!). They also have blueberry and strawberry cheese tarts and different cakes. 

Two different kinds of nilupak

Different flavored ensaymadas

I'm going to try these mozzarella-filled bicho next time. I hope they have it. The thing with Amira's is, they don't always have stocks of everything, so if you see something you like or are interested in, get it. 

Different flavored espasols

I bought a few things, which I will feature in my food blog. Kuya Fil bought his usual 3 boxes of buco pie! Mom and sis bought a lot of things, too to eat at the hotel. 

Which item would you like to try, Glow Girl?
