Memory Lane

We were supposed to go to Pampanga to go to Sand Box but the bipolar weather did not permit us to do so. Instead, we went on a road trip on an early Saturday morning, driving along Aguinaldo high way straight to Tagaytay with a stop-over only to refill the tank with gas. I, behind the steering wheel personally love driving. I can go on hours sitting casually with just a cup of coffee beside with only one condition – I get to play MY music. :)

Since I was in my college years, I have been hearing about this certain restaurant that basically is an American vintage-retro themed house that literally will bring you back to the fifties with its amenities and adorable one-of-a-kind interior design. So, instead of us being gloomy about the trip to Sand Box that just had been cancelled, we decided to go to Memory Lane instead for our lunch. Yes, the name alone brings a lot of many things to look forward to in that restaurant.

Joy and Tyn, as I have always been telling in this blog, are my two best-est friends. We each have partaken ourselves in a lot of trouble just to press on with our many to mention craziness but still, we managed to push through every time. :D Now, we have decided that we will have our lunch in an American themed restaurant and we will get to enjoy the rest of the afternoon.  

What greeted us as we entered the place was this cute sign! And then as I was scanning the whole restaurant, the walls are full of signs like this that will surely catch your attention. Another one that I have seen was a wall that looked like an emergency sign that says ‘ANTI STRESS THERAPY: BANG HEAD HERE’.

The chairs and the tables completed that whole ‘nostalgic’ look. They were blue and white and pastel-y kind of called mixed together.  

Also, that vintage television was a great plus to the whole look. I did not have the chance to ask what movie was currently playing in the TV but I was sure it was in the genre that Audrey Hepburn was in. Imagine them playing the movie Roman Holiday! The thought makes me feel giddy. ;)

The food was alright, we ordered their famous spaghetti plus potato salad with bacon bits and their home-style fried chicken. We were actually saving our appetite for later because we plan on having to munch on full mode when we get to Sky Ranch Tagaytay.

Overall, the experience was refreshing. Having the moment to be away from the city’s busy streets, highways and everyday noise is a great way to invigorate. The best part of it is that I get to spend this day with my best friends! I recommend everyone to try and pay Memory Lane a visit. Explore every party of the house-slash-restaurant. And don’t forget to take pictures! J
