I am amazed at the bride bloggers who manage to attend several food tasting appointments with various caterers because to be honest, we didn’t have the luxury of time or money. I was initially going for K by Cunanan or Passion Cooks because based on several blogs I’ve read about these caterers, both are able to set up the place well and their food is good. Unfortunately, we had to pay out of town charges that could still be used for other aspects of the wedding.
We collected several catering packages from the first wedding expo we went to but ended up prioritizing Tagaytay, Cavite, or Batangas based suppliers. There isn’t much catering options actually unless the hotel or place you pick could already cater for you. Enzo’s only concern about this wedding is that the food should be good. We could all be dressed in trash bags for all he cares and would be happy if his stomach is satisfied. I, on the other hand, was concerned about how the caterer will fix the place.
The obvious choice is Town’s Delight. They are THE caterer of Tagaytay and we just went with what has been tried and tested by everybody. Ms. Camz, our account executive, was also very accommodating and helpful in all our inquiries from setting our food tasting schedule to dealing with our questions about how they will style our reception venue. The advantage of getting a well-established caterer in the business is that we are assured that our preferences will be delivered.
The only downside with their package is that their free food tasting inclusion is their standard buffet menu and not the food that will actually be served. You can get that option for an additional charge which doesn’t make sense to me because the purpose of the food tasting is for you to try out the food from the package you paid for. It’s the only time you can adjust the food according to how you want it. Also, the restaurant where they give their food tasting is in some far flung area in Cavite. When we went there, it took us an hour and a half from Tagaytay. I think it might be faster if we were coming from Paranaque passing Daang Hari.
When Enzo and I scheduled for the food tasting, we haven’t booked them yet. We wanted to try out their food first before making any commitments. On that day, Enzo was coming in from Batanes but due to unfavorable weather, his flight had to be resecheduled. I decided to bring my mom and my tita along as we were also planning to do an ocular of reception venues around Tagaytay that day.
There were hits and misses but I was generally happy with the quality and serving size. I can’t say anything more because Enzo is the bigger foodie in this relationship. I’m happy as long as there’s something in the menu I can eat. I told him I’m satisfied with what I tried and we could just tweak a few things on our next food tasting, so we booked Town’s Delight. We will be scheduling another food tasting soon and hopefully, we’d be able to finalize our menu by then.
