We were invited for a breakfast meeting at Tosca ( Tosca November 7, 2008 )and this is what we had…
There is a buffet and then you check from the list your main breakfast dish… You can choose one main dishes and the beauty is they serve it fresh rather than getting from a buffet for the main dish
Main dishes we had
Filipino Set - Beef Tapa choice - It was really good!
Omelette of Your choice with bacon and sausage
Chinese set - Congee
This is one of the places we go to for Japanese ingredients and snacks which we cannot find anywhere else. Our cousin Ana told us about this place. They have a wide variety but it has a bit of a smell and it is not so clean- but it is okay. It is right beside Seryna in Japan Town ( near Makati Cinema Square )
They even have frozen and refrigerated items from Japan
All kinds of Japanese rice. James made sure we got our japanese rice from here for the Beef Pepper Rice ( Beef Pepper Rice by Heart2Heart February 3, 2010) that we made at home
and this is where I get my Pino for P 88.00 for a box of 6 pieces !! ( Pino January 4, 2010)
There is a restaurant beside it which we tried
They have takeout
And they have dine in
We got a Ramen set for P 195.00 - we got all this for P 195.00! Ramen, yummy fried rice and gyoza!

This is part 2 of homemade pizza form Tina. YUMMY!!! ( Homemade Pizza by Tina November 22, 2009 )
I love the set up 
and all the fresh and quality ingredients that go into the pizza
I am wondering if Georgia will grow up to be like her Mom…..
I like the fact that the pizza is not perfectly round like all other pizza…and she has a pizza for everyone
Pepperoni
Margarita
Garlic and anchovy
Mushroom and roasted garlic
Roasted Garlic and Cambozola
Four cheese
After homemade pizza, we even get to eat homemade ice cream!
A new ice cream maker from her husband, Gerry, as a Christmas gift
Javs tells us he wants to be a chef one day….we thought this was a passing thought because Javs loves to eat and we were not sure if he just bakes and cooks because he likes to eat what he makes…..however he has been doing this quite regularly and I am glad I documented most of his creations
I am just happy that he likes to do something and he enjoys it…and of course we all benefit from his culinary creations and so far, we all like it! Who knows he might really become a chef one day…lucky us! :-)
A Giant Chocolate Chip cookie! ( which was a bit over baked )
Pancake with cream and nutella - he even has his own presentation which we sometimes cannot figure out
He always makes one for Dada! and Dada of course always eats it…maybe not to hurt his feelings :-)
CREPES!!! It is always a surprise so its a good thing James has his phone to take the photos
Snowman cookies from a Christmas cookie kit from Tito Donnie and Tita Crickette
This was the most recent… banana turon with chocolate Golden Spoon frozen yogurt. No one had a birthday but he put a birthday candle
Again, our Mom never ceases to amaze us! She actually had a table made big enough to fit all of us in one table!!! We are a big family of 18 including grandchildren. Mom and Dad are really serious when they mean that we have to EAT TOGETHER! So now Mom has her regular round dining table ( The Round Dining Table July 22, 2008) and she can switch and bring out her rectangle gigantic dining table to fit us all!
The family loves Mongolian buffet ( Crab and Mongolian BBQ Dinner June 8, 2009 ) prepared by Mom! It’s one of our favorites. And being a big family, sometimes it is easier to prepare Mongolian and we enjoy it because we make our own concoctions.
It’s been a year after Gil and Christine got married and they are presently at Boracay celebrating where they got married! Why didn’t you invite everyone again to celebrate with you over there? :-)
Happy First Year Anniversary guys!!!
Gil and Christine prepared dinner for us after constantly waiting for that invitation! Here is a sneak peek at their dining room in their beautiful new home
Christine took charge of all the accessories in their new home since Gil took care of designing the interiors. So the place setting is all Christine’s choices which perfectly matches Gil’s taste - what a great match they make
TV in the dining room. Christine told me that Gil really planned it well that it was built in the wall to fit the design of the place
And here they are….the happy couple
What a great idea by Christine! Her placecards were her scrabble pieces
It was nice that our cousins Bubu and Trisha were there too…
A home cooked meal which we truly enjoyed!

We also look forward to Sunday lunch by John and Keena. It is always Chinese food - either from Peking Garden ( Peking Garden Trinoma May 2, 2009, Peking Garden G5 February 8, 2010 ), Hai Shin Lou ( Hai Shin Lou May 17, 2008, Happy Birthday Rins January 29, 2009, Happy Birthday James and John April 29, 2009 and Tito Totoy’s 76th Birthday Aug 25, 2009 ) or both! Today, it was a mixture of both. And as always- the food is wiped out immediately
From Peking Garden
From Hai Shin Lou
And we always have a wide variety of desserts since Tina always brings something to add
John brought these yummy cream puffs
Tina brought her homemade ice cream together with this adorable display for the toppings

Double Double chocolate with orange, Pistachio and Vanilla
Sansrival!! :-)
About two months after Golden Spoon opened in Magallanes Gateway center, Bizhan’s Persian House opened!!!! Remember Mr. Kazemi? ( Bizhan Kazemi July 31, 2008 ) Well, he now opened a restaurant and we are all very happy and excited! On the ground floor, there is a small nook for the shawarma for those how want a quick snack
I am sure many of you know him as you may have seen him in the bazaars and children’s parties as he is famous for his shawarma!
Chicken Shawarma - I noticed a lot of people ordering the chicken shawarma
As you enter the Golden Spoon door and get tempted to have a frozen yogurt :-), just go up the stairs which will lead you to the restaurant
There are three private rooms
And here is Mr. Kazemi with his kitchen staff
Fresh Kebabs being grilled in the kitchen
I could eat these dips over and over with pita bread, with kebabs, with everything!! YUMMY! and healthy!
Hummos
Motable
Pure Creamy Persian yogurt - freshly made
Cucumber with Creamy Yogurt
Tomato and Cucumber salad
Ox brain- believe it or not, it’s a popular dish - even my 10 year old son ordered this
Fresh hash brown - YUMMY!!!! We all love this! Eat this as an appetizer or we eat it with our main dish as a side dish like french fries
Vegetarian Samosa - YUMMY!!!!!!!
When the place first opened, I was customer # 1! And he served me Chicken Kabab! I LOVE THIS!!! YUMMY!! The chicken is so juicy, so tender and so tasty!
You can have it as a short order or by the stick
….With Rice
….or with pita bread
Shawarma rice - another Heart2Heart favorite- if you prefer to eat your shawarma with rice - I order extra garlic sauce
Chelo Kebab Barge
Lamb Kebab
Lamb Kebab with pita bread
Chelo Kebab Beef Kobideh

Everything is yummy!! And there is so many more on the menu!
