Mahogany Public Market: Home of the Famous Tagaytay Beefmeat

Mahogany Public Market is home of the famous Tagaytay beefmeat. Need I say more?

What to buy: Beefmeat, fresh fruits and vegetables, ornamental flowers and grafted fruit-bearing trees [Guimaras mango tree? They got 'em here!].

What to pay: The beefmeat price is generally the same as anywhere else but the quality is tops. Fresh fruits and vegetables are cheap. A big bunch of freshly harvested Senorita banana goes for P50 (US$1) only. Grafted fruit-bearing trees [really interesting if you have spacious yard] go from P50 to P150 each.

Address: Barangay Mahogany, Tagaytay City

Directions: Turn right at Petron Gas Station where the road forks. Go straight ahead then turn right again at the Tourist Information Center or at the Mahogany Hotel.

Other than the sweet pineapples, Tagaytay's Senorita bananas are abound as well and popular to visitors. Buy them (the bananas) while still greenish because they get ripened so easily.
