<div class=text-justify>In my previous article <a href="https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@junebride/santorini-inspired-residential-resort-in-valencia-negros-oriental">Santorini Inspired Residential Resort in Valencia, Negros Oriental</a>, I shared about our experience at Tierra Alta and I also mentioned we dined at their cafe called Tierra Cafe. It took some time but I am finally finishing this blog.</div><br>

<div class=text-justify>We reached Tierra Alta at eleven in the morning, we were from DFA or Department of Foreign Affairs Dumaguete branch which was inside Robinsons Mall in Dumaguete City, we walked in to get our passports renewed while we applied for Matti's first passport too.</div><br>

<div class=text-justify>Processing was fast, our request was to have the passports delivered and we already received the passports last week.</div><br>

<div class=text-justify>So going back, we went directly to Tierra Cafe as soon as we arrived at the residential resort. The cafe is just located on the right side of the clubhouse. It has signage about the cafe so it was easy to spot it.</div><br>

<div class=text-justify>Coming inside, a staff opened the doors for us. There were only two tables occupied at the time that we arrived. The room was air-conditioned which was really a relief, it was scorching hot when we arrived and it was almost noontime so you can imagine how humid that day was, but it was such a great feeling getting inside a cool room.</div><br>

<div class=text-justify>A bar sits at the corner, they serve coffee too and wines, the staffs were sitting behind the bar, can you spot one of the heads?</div><br>

<div class=text-justify>We searched for a table, my baby was actually sleeping when we arrived, he slept while we were on the road coming here. We choose the table which has comfortable lounge seats, these seats were also in a platform.</div><br>

<div class=text-justify>There seats have their logo in it, they seemed to have customized these seats. The interiors aren't Cycladic this time though, their walls were orange and red in color as well as their tile flooring. But I am glad they have high chairs which were wooden! I wasn't able to request one because the baby was sleeping the entire time. He slept from eleven in the morning until around quarter to two! So we finished eating before he woke up.</div><br>


<div class=text-justify>Also, they got long tables and an area for intimate celebrations, they can open and close that section and they got al fresco dining area too but since it was noontime, their doors were closed, perhaps when it's night time, they'll open the glass doors.</div><br>

<div class=text-justify>Now comes our orders. They got wide options, international and local cuisines on their menu, we were really confused what to get but we ended up with their Greek Salad, Seared Tuna with Puttanesca Sauce, Baby Back Ribs, Churros con chocolate, and a pitcher of this red juice which I forgot the flavor.</div><br>

<div class=text-justify>The Baby Back Ribs was worth Php 320 which comes with a cup of rice and some butter stir fried mixed vegetables. The husband said it was good! I didn't mind tasting it though but I have to take his words.</div><br>

![DSC01990.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/junebride/23xyjxtCbKoGfvz9ToNbBq1r4GTjH1oYUBjvD2Qw46NTE6MaURPENMcK1k3M66HMrQLY9.jpg)

![DSC01989.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/junebride/241tmxL8djm5SF3YjNR1DQhXjcdNNW2WQ13G3E9B92hzLc4wSNFc1MX9r29fLhE663r7b.jpg)

<div class=text-justify>My order was Seared Tuna with Puttanesca Sauce. I was very interested on what the word Puttanesca means and when I searched it, the meaning wasn't really nice. Google said it means “in the style of the whore or prostiture.” The name derives from the Italian word puttana which means whore. Puttana in turn arises from the Latin word putida which means stinking</div><br>

<div class=text-justify>This was I guess my first time to try this type of recipe. It has anchovies on it and tomatoes as well as olives. I enjoyed it actually and the fish was also nicely cooked! This cost Php 380.</div><br>

<div class=text-justify>But before we had the main course, we devoured on the appetizer which was the Greek Salad. This was really good and the ingredients looked really fresh! I enjoyed every bite of it. I can surely make this kind of salad too at home. This costs Php 230.

<div class=text-justify>The churros was ordered for Matti. But I tried it beforehand. The chocolate syrup tasted like my mom's pure sikwate! If you are a Filipino and a Bisaya, you'd be familiar with what Sikwate is. I like that it wasn't too sweet and they also sprinkled cinnamon on top of the churros. Matti ate a few sticks and I finished it. I don't like having food left on the plate, as much as possible, all the food must be eaten.</div><br>

![DSC02008.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/junebride/23wCNr5SzKLH37G6dfUutYJqV2Zn9BLhVD7zzHXuzrHLfHpQDC4roZNyNucF66EDKMvre.jpg)

<div class=text-justify>I appreciate that the cafe have their fast internet connection despite being on the countryside. It was also nice that their staffs were very accommodating, they were all attentive to our requests, and they accept credit card payments too! The husband was working as well after we ate lunch, we killed time while I wait for the right timing to take photos around the resort.</div><br>

<div class=text-justify>Also, it was surprising to see a lot of guests coming in, there were so many reservations too as I could hear the staff talking on their phone at the bar. I believe this is due to the tasty food and customer service!</div><br>

<div class=text-justify>Tierra Café provides Mediterranean cuisine infused with American and Asian flavors. The frolic restaurant seats 60, and the Alfresco area seats 20 guests. They are open from seven in the morning until nine in the evening daily.</div>
