Heart2Heart loves chicken wings!!!!!!!!!!!  So we definitely ate here too! I think we have been to the Collective 4 times already going back and forth.  We have to keep going back to try the new places and then need to go back again with my kids because for sure they will like the shops and the ramen resto which we still have to try

Will Yeh and Mike Chueh were there, 2 out of the 5 owners of Wingman! 

Iron Skillet Queso- their version of nachos and cheese.  YUMMY!! The plate with the onions and tomato  is for the quesadilla 

Here is the quesadilla 

Bucket for sauces and seasonings 

Home Run Sliders 

I took out the top so I could see the inside - Chimichurri, Wingman burger and  the Cowboy burger- Heart2Heart’s favorite was the Cowboy burger

THE WINGMAN WINGS!!!!  YUM YUM YUMMY ALL THE WINGS!!

You can order a dozen and half it into 2 flavors.  It’s a better deal to order a dozen at  P 280.00 since half a dozen is P 180.00

Choose also your level of spiciness- we just chose the medium since we do not really like spicy

Lemon and Pepper and Hickory barbeque 

All wings come with ranch sauce but you can order blue cheese sauce  

Buffalo wings and Garlic Parmesan - MY FAVORITE EVER IS GARLIC PARMESAN!  I like all but I love the Garlic Parmesan the BEST!

Here it is up close, garlic Parmesan! 

The CLASSIC BUFFALO 

Hickory Barbeque 

Lemon and Pepper 

Side order basket of Curly twists 

And a sink to wash your hands after eating all the YUMMY WINGS!!  WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK MANY MANY TIMES OVER! :-)

This is a close up on Happy Palace, the restaurant of Paolo and Trina in the Collective.   

Trina is there everyday til 3am cooking!!!!  I really admire this friend of mine! Believe me when I say she is into everything and is really a hard working woman!  

MyStyle Services, Inc. March 13, 2008 

And to think she always looks so fresh and so HAPPY while cooking in the kitchen all day! She is very very busy and doing very well in her new venture!

A very clean open kitchen

I need to ask Trina the names of her fishy friends  Look for the cute fish bowls by the counter

Their bestseller is the All mix mongolian which has beef, chicken, pork and seafood! 

But I got the chicken bowl, which was so so yummy!!!

While javier ordered the sisig.  Trina said you need to specify if you like it crispy to get it crispy, so mention it when you order 

Love the coffee jelly!! YUM YUM!

We celebrated Tito Totoy’s Birthday! This is the 77th already and looking forward to more and more!  So far, we have not missed one every year since 2007.  Thanks for always making us a part of your family.  We love you all!

We admire Tito Totoy for being a very simple gentleman!

He was so happy and proud he was wearing a vintage Tag Heur watch  Apparently, it was a watch James sold to Suharto twenty years ago when we were still in London.  Then somehow Suharto sold it to his brother who sold it to his father ( Tito Totoy )    Looking at it now, it would be nice to buy that watch back - but Tito Totoy will probably not sell it because he loves it! 

We had Korean food this time in one of the popular restaurants since we can remember - Korea Garden.  Still YUMMY as ever!  

 128 Jupiter St., Bel-Air 2 Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines  Phone Number: (63 2) 895-5443, (63 2) 896-4361

Jimmy being an adventurous type of guy, took us to a Peruvian restaurant.  We have never been to one so it was a great experience.   It was in a beautiful location by the bay

Loved their vegetable chips with dip

Cebiche tasting - I like how Jimmy eats, he always orders the tasting dishes so we get to try many - so we shared the appetizers

We also liked the peruvian rollitos!! Again we got the tasting dish

I ordered the empanada sampler because I was curious to taste it

How could we not eat here?? XIAO LONG BAO!!!  We saw it because we went to Starbucks.  The nice thing about going to small towns is that it is so easy to park- we had a parking space right in front of the restaurant  Maybe not as good as Din Tai Fung but it was okay, so if you are in area ( South San Francisco ) , stop by for some Xiao long bao

After many months, Heart2Heart is happy to post finally the steaks.  For so long, when I am about to post the steaks, the stocks run out.  We love Bryan Flannery products and we hope that you will enjoy them too.  Take some time to read below and find out what makes Bryan Flannery different from the rest… 

The road trip continues.  Of course we had to fly first from New York to get to San Francisco We stayed in the city but found ourselves going out of the city most of the time. We drove around 2 hours from the city to get to Corte Madera to meet the great guy behind the wonderful steaks that James has been bringing in.  

 We only met Bryan by phone and through his website

 We saw his shop and was surprised to see that it is a full line gourmet store and that he sells more than just steaks 

and finally we meet the real Bryan Flannery!  He is a superstar to us and we are honored to meet him! Just like any good and well run business, it is important that the owner is there and is hands on.  One of the nicest things about doing business is meeting the people behind the company.  Learning about them, how they grew their business and how passionate they are. 

He took us to what he calls his “Playroom”  

Wow!!  This is where he dry ages his beef.   

Most of the steaks are already sold and reserved for clients!  It’s a good thing we have some allocation for the Philippines :-) 

Even Javier was amazed!! “Bryan Flannery is the coolest guy I have ever met!”

Javier enjoyed his visit and he could not resist to ask Bryan for some brownies from the shop which were really really good we fought over them in the car!   

More to take home from Bryan- Pork rib cap 

My request :-)
