Breakfast at Poison Ivy Bristro, where everything veg-related comes from their farm. They specialize in banana species. No bananas for our breakfast, but it was still lovely.
Papaya Salad
Lemon Grass Tea
Moringa Tempura
Tapioca Chips
Rice
Although the layouts are pretty rough (walkways are vague), there is a wide variety of local vegetables and fruits grown here. I felt like an explorer. There's even a mini rice paddy field with their own irrigation canal
They do provide educational tours as well. But mostly one can get around alone, with plan information placed at the signboards of each plot. They do sell their vegetables as well, as well as cater to functions.
I can imagine the different combinations of vegetable and fruit recipes just from this one visit alone. Some people who tried Poison Ivy told me that their food was a tad bland. But I felt that it was much more refreshing to enjoy such meals, especially when it overlooks the farms.
An Inspiration for my menu: Imagine a glass of water with ice cubes made from watered down calamansi juice and honey. The ice will melt slowly, releasing the refreshing scent of calamansi and subtle sweetness of honey into the water. Crushed mint leaves can be added well as thin shavings of cucumber. The best part: Everything is local.
