We honestly didn’t plan to end up here. One look at the traffic crawling toward Tagaytay, and we didn’t even think twice—we made a quick U-turn and took a random right turn without checking Google Maps. No destination, no expectations… just curiosity and the kind of mood that says “Let’s just see where this takes us.”
Funny thing is, we landed at Casa Jardin de Mellizo Restaurant and Events place in Silang—a place I had actually saved a long time ago. I totally forgot it was even on my list 🙃 Life’s little nudges, I guess.
Fun fact: I added this place to my saved list out of curiosity. As regular CALAX passers, we always noticed this spot uphill from the road—it’s such an eye-catcher! We kept wondering, “What is that place?” So, using my investigatory expertise (LOL), I did a little digging and found out it was Casa Jardin de Meliizzo. Without thinking twice, I hit “save” on Google Maps… and forgot all about it—until this detour brought us right to it.
The place was peaceful, open, and had that kind of charm that instantly makes you slow down. While the food wasn’t exactly unforgettable (it could use some improvement), the coffee absolutely made up for it. I had their caramel macchiato—and wow. Smooth, not overly sweet, and perfectly comforting. I’d come back just for that cup.
And I can’t deny—it’s really a beautiful place for all the events of your life. Whether it’s a quiet coffee date, a celebration, or even just a moment to pause, Casa Jardin de Meliizzo felt like it could hold memories.
Sometimes the best experiences aren’t the ones you plan. They’re the ones you stumble upon, exactly when you need them.
“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”
– Proverbs 16:9 (ESV)
Have you ever seen a place from the road and promised yourself you’d stop “next time”?
That’s how we found Casa Jardin de Mellizo. And we’re so glad we did.
