Road Trip To the Original Mushroomburger in Tagaytay!

One thing that comes to my mind when it said Mushroomburger, is a burger with mushroom patty that can only be found in Tagaytay.

Description: (From Mushroomburger FB page)

We started growing mushrooms in Caloocan City in 1976, acquiring the technology from Taiwan. We first marketed our mushrooms to major hotels and restaurants throughout Metro Manila. Needing to expand, we moved our mushroom farm to Tagaytay City in 1978, where we also sold our mushrooms direct to the public. We produced four (4) different types of mushrooms, mainly the Abalone Mushroom, the Oyster Mushroom, the Wooden Ear and the Shiitake Mushroom. In the early eighties, one of our customers commented that mushrooms were more expensive than beef where he came from, and he asked, why not make burgers out of the mushrooms? That same day the first Mushroomburger was created, since that customer was no ordinary customer but was a Swiss Executive Chef of one the major Hotels in Manila. He wrote down a recipe that very day and after tasting it, declared it to be the best burger he had ever tasted. We sold the first Mushroomburger on November 1, 1980, and since then we have added several varieties, like the Mushroomburger Royal and King. We have also introduced the Mushroom Sandwich, which is 100% pure mushroom. In the nineties, we also introduced rice meals like the Mushroom Beef, Mushroom Delight and Pancit Canton Delight. Currently, we have two branches, one in Tagaytay and in 2004 we opened a second branch located at West Avenue, Quezon City, in front of the Philam Homes subdivision.

I have first visited the restaurant way back in late 1994 or early 1995 together with my cousins. I never came there again since then. Not until yesterday that when our family is complete on one gloomy Sunday. I was craving for the Mushroomburger days before then. And thank God for a glance of sun that day that made us decide to go on a road trip just to find where the resto is.

Famfie! Mushroomburger..here we come!

I used google map as our navigator that will lead us to Mushroomburger in Tagaytay. From point A to B..we just follow the highlighted route. Because it was in the news of typhoon Luis to landfall on that day that will affect Cavite with rains, it started raining again while we were on our way to Tagaytay. When we are near to point B, we got dismayed to see that it was Mc Donalds and not Mushroomburger. We thought that it was replaced by it anymore. Then we asked a man from there, if there's still Mushroomburger? Good that he pointed where it is right there!..it's a little drive away from Mc Do and can actually viewed the signage. But due of heavy rains that time..we didn't recognise the signage.

So here's to continue our Mushroomburger expedition..heheh

Finally here to order..

I couldn't remember if they used to serve lomi and pancit way back 1994 which they have it now. Aside form burger meals, they also serve rice meals, noodle meals and fried chicken meals.

I only remember their authentic juicy and tasty Mushroomburger that i boast to my kids that's why i brought them here.

I ordered this meal: Mushroom melt with mushroom fries plus  drink..isn't it affordable? 

Their burger meals come with regular french fries and drinks.

Here's what we ordered. A bowl of Lomi that is rich with mushroom ingredients. Pancit canton, a bucket of tasty and juicy fried chicken and their different variety of authentic Mushroomburgers.

Famfie! before having our Mushroomburger meals for lunch!

One reaction they said is "Panalo!"

One last famfie! 

Thank you Mushroomburger for a tummy-filled Sunday! More people are coming in even it continue raining that time. I know that this is popular resto in Tagaytay..no wonder why! I wish you could renovate the place and make it more dainty and contemporary.

From one branch in Tagaytay, they opened another two in Katipunan and West Avenue. It's good that they also deliver :)
