With a few hours to spare en route, I Googled for among the most attention-grabbing locations to eat in Tagaytay—there are loads, however I’m significantly on the lookout for a considerably cheap one. What I discovered was a pancit batil patong place in Tagaytay, with costs that appeared pleasant sufficient.
So, earlier than heading to the Tagaytay Metropolis Corridor, which is what we actually got here to town for, we stopped at MASINGngo Restaurant first for lunch.

| TUGUEGARAO’S BEST PANCIT BATIL PATONG IN TAGAYTAY |
After fussing over their menu, we ordered their Sizzling Crispy Sisig, Bangusilog, Budok’s Rooster Inasal with Rice, Tuguegarao Garlic Longganisa, Pancit Batil Patong, and naturally, MASINGngo Particular Bulalo. A number of the dishes don’t have rice bundled with them, so we would have liked to buy just a few individually. I kinda didn’t like that they don’t promote rice per cup although—you’d need to get their unli-rice, which is pricey at ₱48.00 for plain rice and ₱68.00 for garlic rice.
Really, I used to be a bit stunned with their costs, for it’s a bit removed from the bang-for-the-buck costs I noticed on menus I discovered on-line, which apparently had been outdated now.

| KID A ON MASINGNGO’S FREE VIDEOKE |
The restaurant has a free videoke for friends ready for his or her meals to reach. However, it didn’t take lengthy earlier than our dishes had been slid down our desk.
 |
| SIZZLING CRISPY SISIG ~ ₱388.00 |
First on the desk was their Scorching Crispy Sisig (₱388.00). It isn’t served with rice, and has a typical serving dimension for scorching plate sisigs—adequate for 2 folks. The sisig was a mixture of crispy and smooth pork, actually savory with a smoky style, and wasn’t actually that spicy—except you really eat the chili. It doesn’t have an egg on prime, however was lathered with a beneficiant dose of mayonnaise—Kapampangans could be solely half-love this one, however I totally dig it, lol.
 |
| BANGUSILOG ~ ₱198.00 |
I then tried a chunk of their Bangusilog (₱198.00). It’s really solely half a bangus, however the dimension was large enough for one particular person. The deep-fried breaded bangus was adequate and was served with fried egg, kropek, and iced tea or espresso.
 |
| BUDOK’S CHICKEN INASAL WITH RICE ~ ₱198.00 |
Their Budok’s Rooster Inasal with Rice (₱198.00) was additionally good, though it doesn’t appear to be freshly grilled. The restaurant assured us although, that their rooster inasal is freshly grilled on each order. It comes with a serving to of rooster oil and chili garlic oil.
 |
| SPECIAL BULALO, LARGE ~ ₱888.00 |
And naturally, sure, we additionally ordered the requisite Tagaytay Particular Bulalo (₱888.00, giant), which was shared by the entire gang—free soup refill too. It has the same old corn, Baguio beans, pechay Baguio, and fall-off-the-bone tender beef. It’s scrumptious, as bulalo dishes at all times are.
 |
| TUGUEGARAO GARLIC LONGGANISA ~ ₱348.00 |
And on to my order of Tuguegarao Garlic Longganisa (₱348.00). In accordance with the menu, it’s speculated to be served with 4 items of Tuguegarao Longganisa, KBL or kamatis, bagoong, lasona, salted duck egg, and bagoong isda or fermented fish bagoong. Certainly, I acquired 4 well-cooked longganisa, a small plate of chopped tomato, onion, and halved salted duck egg, however I can’t appear to search out any bagoong isda. The restaurant mentioned that the bagoong isda is certainly there, combined very calmly with the tomato and onion.
MASINGngo’s Tuguegarao carabeef garlic longganisa was extraordinarily good. And why gained’t or not it’s, they mentioned they’ve it shipped straight from Tuguegarao Metropolis itself. The outer crust was crisply fried, the insides had been deliciously malabo or smooth. It went very well with the KBL and vinegar. My solely gripe was its serving dimension—for its worth, 4 items is kind of measly, positively bitin! They do have a ten-piece serving of this with out rice for ₱498.00 and likewise a frozen model for pasalubong. Excellent however costly.
 |
| PANCIT BATIL PATONG SPECIAL ~ ₱288.00 |
And eventually, what I went right here for, MASINGngo’s Pancit Batil Patong Particular (₱288.00). It has no bean sprouts however has an excellent number of toppings—carrots, Baguio beans, pork liver, crisply fried pork lechon kawali, lumpiang shanghai, chicharon bulaklak. It has the requisite egg patong and a extremely delectable batil soup.
On my first forkful, it does style like Tuguegarao’s famed pancit batil patong, however I observed that the miki appeared totally different. Apparently, they don’t get their noodles from Tuguegarao and use their very own do-it-yourself miki as a substitute. Additionally they use beef as a substitute of carabeef.
For its worth, I discover the dimensions to be a bit small, however taste-wise, it’s a adequate pancit batil patong repair, particularly because it’s in Tagaytay—fairly a protracted methods away from Tuguegarao Metropolis. Masingngo, certainly!
