It was nice to see Derek and Lally during their short visit to the Philippines. Lally was a batchmate in Assumption highschool and Ateneo for college. She migrated to Canada and is now married to Derek with two daughters. Lally was one of the people who believed in me and suggested that I put up Heart2Heart. Thanks Lals for the encouragement and for all your advice.
I am also so happy to meet Derek. He is a Radiologist and is the second guy I know, next to Tito Serge, that likes Gardening. Derek does boxed gardening since he said in Toronto, they do not have much space in their homes for big gardens, so they put their gardens by their windows. We get along because he also likes desserts!! One of his favorites is also my favorite, brazo de mercedez.
I gave Lally a short list of restos to choose from where we could meet up and I am glad she chose Le Gourmet at Rustan’s. Good answer! Good answer! 🙂
I chose a basic french dish – Croque Monsieur which I truly enjoyed!
Lally’s order- Pasta Marinara
Dereks’ order – Legumes Farcis ( Stuffed Vegetable Plate )
And of course Derek and I split two desserts!
Mousse Au Chocolat
Tiramisu
It was a nice lunch to catch up a bit on Lally. Hope to see you guys again soon…hopefully in Toronto!
