Some time ago, the sisters opened a "sister" store in the mountain city of Tagaytay, closer to Manila, and made available the famous pasalubong of the former hill station of the Americans to Metro Manilans who frequent the city overlooking Taal Volcano.
After the golf tournament at Splendido Taal Golf Course, Tutubi and friends passed by Good Shepherd Sisters in Maryridge, Tagaytay City to buy ube jam (ube halaya), ube dimples, and tawilis in olive oil. (Tawilis is a freshwater sardine, endemic to the Philippines, found only in Taal lake)

How to get to Good Shepherd:
Bahay Pastulan is on a narrow alley very near kilometer 61 of the highway about a kilometer away from Picnic Grove. A sign that says Maryridge will point the way to the single-lane street.
The original Good Shepherd Convent in Baguio is located on Gibraltar Road, Mines View Barangay (walking distance from the souvenir shops of Mines View Park). They also sell fruit preserves, strawberry jam, cashew and peanut brittle, and coco jam.
Yummy... Filipino delicacies!
ReplyDeletehavent had the dimples before; in fact tis my first time to hear of it. it makes my mouth water.
ReplyDeletehaha ang cute naman nung ube dimples. ngayon ko lang nakita yan. better check that out when i go to baguio this new year.
ReplyDelete=)
I love ube! And the ube dimples are making me hungry, they look really tasty!
ReplyDelete:D
Hey you really make the stuff sound good. I like jam from time to time. But fruit, don't like the stuff that contains far too much sugar.
ReplyDeletewoot. i really loveee ube!!
ReplyDeletesidney,yummy indeed
ReplyDeletephoto cache,ube dimples are too full of sugar for me. Ijust give them away
carlotta, cute ba talagapagmay dimples? hehe
kyels, honestly, i prefer the ube jam
pieterbie, not only sound good, they really taste good. i love ube jam but not much the ube dimples coated with sugar
tina, everybody lovesit even tutubi who doesn't have a sweet tooth
Yes, Ube jam at Good Shepherd's is the best! By the way, have you tried their strawberry juice? Its really yummy! :)
ReplyDeletewhat i like about this blog is that it also gives out details and most especially directions. hehe
ReplyDeletehonestly, i've never been to good shepherd in baguio
I haven't tried ube jam. I must have some of this next time I go to a Pinoy store.
ReplyDeletei LOVE good shepherd's ube jam! real winner. hehe kakamiss!
ReplyDeleteube dimples?! that's sumthin new.
gypsy, i haven't tried strawberry juice yet. i didn't see it in at their tagaytay store, probably baguio only sourced from la trinidad's strawberry fields (forever) :P
ReplyDeletetin-tin, thank you. at least i know you appreciate my effort to give details and directions of every place i blog about
mari, ube jam here doesn't have preservatives so probably the ones you will get there are not the same quality. i remember some officemate's ube jam bought in baguio were spoiled int ravel since they closed the container already and did not allow the sweet ube to cool down (you get it freshly cooked and still hot)
reeyuh, ube jam is better than ube dimples. it's just new but ube jam's the best
what a coincidence! at around the time of this entry of yours, i had tasted ube from tagaytay. baka ito yun.
ReplyDeletedave, if the label says Bahay Pastulan, then that's the one! sarap no?
ReplyDeletei love ube... my God!
ReplyDeletemay i ask a question, i want to invest in good shepherd product, who can i contact regarding this. I was planning on selling good shepherd products like the jams and alfajor. thanks for the reply

ReplyDeleterita, good shepherd is just on mary ridge and i've given directions to get there
ReplyDeletei'd like to ask... How come you didnt include Batanes in the list of Philippine provinces?
ReplyDeleteanonymous, it's simply because i haven't been there and . the ones listed here are just about half of the all the provinces of PH
