I can still remember the first time I drove to Baguio with my dad's Honda Civic 5th gen LX model 1.6Li manual transmission. It was way back 1997 summer, my dad decided to take Marcos highway instead of Kennon. It's our first time to try out this highway so we got lost and ended up climbing at Naguilian highway instead.
It was already nighttime when we arrived at Naguilian. I was the driver with my dad coaching me when to overtake, etc. I only got roughly 2 or 3 years driving experience at that time. My mom was scared all night with me tackling the curves and overtaking along the dark Naguilian road.
After we arrived at our destination at Baguio, my dad told me not bad for newbie climb to Baguio [emoji23]
Skilled pala ako kung ganun cause I sometimes go through that like 2x a month before when I go to Gen Tri from Lipa (Tagaytay-Gen Tri through Crisanto Reyes Ave. in Amadeo) & VV.
Going down, you can smoke your brakes & suffer brake fade if you don’t use your engine brake.

Teka parang nawala na ang usapan sa buko pie [emoji23]
Bibili sana ako nung The Original Buko Pie bakeshop sa may Caltex - Lumil gas station along Sta. Rosa Tagaytay road. Plano ko road trip lang from NLEX Skyway 3 CALAX tapos bili lang ng buko pie. Kung may time pa ikot sana sa Ligaya at Talisay curvy roads. Bago sana pumutok yung bulkan makatikim ulit ako ng buko pie. Last 2019 pa ako nakabili [emoji23]
Kaso nung nakita ko sa waze may mga standstill traffic reports along NLEX and SLEX SB, inabort ko yung road trip plan [emoji17]
I used to ALWAYS pass by Rowena's whenever we go to Tagaytay to buy their apple tart. Buko tart is so so. Buti meron na silang branch sa Nuvali (is it still there kaya?)
Sa Sto Tomas may mga branches ng Coleen sa pasalubungan. I am not much of a connoissure so, which can you recommend that is not too sweet?

Eto may review na si Ninong Ry ng mga buko pies [emoji23]
10 BUKO PIE - YouTube
If you want something different, though a bit pricey, the coconut pie of Wildflour is very good![]()
Another route to Tagaytay if you are looking for your buko pies is the Crisanto delos Reyes Ave. that goes through Amadeo. Not a lot of cars, occasional trikes & jeeps, no buses, light traffic. Turn left at that corner of McDo in Gen. Trias. Safe maski Gabi.
