Wow Linds and Steve, you guys never fail to amaze us!  What a party!! When we received the invitation, we already knew that this was going to be a grand celebration.  Javier did not want to leave anymore the party! 

Every single detail was well thought of. Lindy told me that she designed and put a lot of effort into coming up with the Monopoly game which was the giveaway for the party.  She made that herself!! And the cake! It was a rotating cake with many mini cakes all around!

It was also nice to see all the kids who came dressed up for the occassion.  

Till the next party! We can’t wait!

Thank you so much Peter and Elena for making us part of your daughter’s debut.  What a grand celebration! The night was full of entertainment and surprises for Sofia!

This is the first non-Wharton/Penn Club or Rotary event that we have attended with Peter, so it was a nice change to see the other side of Peter.  It was nice to meet your children who take very much after the two of you.  We are so happy to share this evening with you and for bringing us closer to you through this very important event in your life.  

And to the very lucky debutant, Sofia, Happy 18th Birthday!

Dad and Mom celebrated their anniversary and Mom wanted to of course have a meal with the family.  She chose one of their favorites, Antonio’s.  Many of the times that we have dined at Antonio’s, it is a special occassion.  But I will drive two hours any time, any day just to have a meal at Antonio’s!  It is worth it! 

This is Tito Robbie’s round dining table in Antonio’s. He sent it there so that when he dines there he has his round dining table.  It is the only round dining table in the restaurant.  Dad and Mom borrow it when he is not there, but that night, he was there too   so we used a rectangular table.

All the oysters were very good but this of course was my favorite

Gratinated Oysters with Foie Gras - YUMMY!!!

Grilled Oysters Balsamic, Garlic portobello 

Portabello Mushrooms with Balsamic and Garlic and Gratinated Escargot with Garlic Cream

All entrees come with house salad and soup but of course our family ordered so many other appetizers that most of us did not eat anymore the house salad and passed on the soup.   

Grilled Certified Angus Prime Rib Eye Steak! YUMMY! YUMMY!  ( double YUMMY!)

Rock Salt garlic potato fries- make sure to order this as a siding 

Grilled Beef Fillet Gratinated with Wild Mushroom on Mashed potato

My friend has been bed ridden the past few months due to a delicate pregnancy.  Her husband who is so sweet and so caring had a great idea! He set up a dining table in their bedroom so she could still see and eat with her family and friends.    

So one evening, we actually had dinner in their bedroom!  We organized a potluck and everyone brought a dish for dinner so we could cheer up our friend and keep her company………and it was so much fun!

 We always look forward to an MTL and ROA tandem for our meals.  They make a great team!  After all, they started the Bon Apetit concept at Rustan’s and was one of the first to pioneer the cafe and patisserie industry in the Philippines.      share with a friend
