Last January 21, my family and other
relatives decided to go to Tagaytay to enjoy the long weekend. We stayed in Bali Village Resort, which is
just walking distance to The Mushroom Burger restaurant. My cousins and I decided then to try the
place.
Mushroom burgers are not new to me, as I
have tried one before in ECHOstore. The
small sized burger was priced at 200 Pesos each. I quite liked the taste; however, for a
student like me, it was a bit too pricy.
Maybe it was because the store was in The Fort or maybe just because organic
foods are expensive.
However, my experience in The Mushroom
Burger was different. The place was not
as sophisticated as ECHOstore. The
atmosphere was casual. However, what
really surprised me was the price of their burgers. The prices ranged from 30 to 100 Pesos. I cannot believe that an organic food can be
this affordable. I tried the Royal
Mushroom Burger that has an egg in it and found it satisfying.
The Mushroom Burger is a testament that
organic foods do not have to be expensive.
Organic foods can even taste better than other non-organic foods. Moreover, it is much healthier and comes from
productions that do not contaminate the environment. Hence, it is beneficial to our body and to
our surroundings. Organic foods even
sustain our environment since the farms it came from do not use harmful chemical
and pesticides, which are two of the many things that destroy the environment.
I hope that Filipinos find the importance
of organic foods and start supporting such foods. The cost maybe too big for now but the
long-term results will definitely something beneficial for everyone.
