Kape Vinta celebrates Filipinos’ shared culture and shared passion for coffee. Named after mighty and colorful war boats typically found in the Southern part of the Philippines, this coffee, like the vinta, is bold & full-bodied with mellow, earthy flavors. A blend of coffees from the Asia Pacific region, particularly choice Arabica beans from the Philippines and Indonesia, Kape Vinta is proof of Starbucks dedication to put roots where the company does business. It earthy flavor notes are best paired with food infused with the flavors of chocolate, nuts and cinnamon.
The coffee stamp which identifies Kape Vinta among Starbucks whole bean lineup, features the design of renowned National Artist Mauro “Malang” Santos. At the center is a vibrant & colorful vinta boat set against the backdrop of a blazing Philippine sun.
If you like Starbucks Sumatra and Komodo Dragon Blend, you will find Kape Vinta an excellent alternative with the same rich texture and smooth finish lingering in your mouth. Kape Vinta is available in all Starbucks Coffee stores in the Philippines. Available year-round in the Philippines market, this exclusive blend comes pre-packed and is a great gift for friends and family.

We tried out the new restaurant at Power Plant Mall at Rockwell, Astralis.
The dishes I liked of course had cheese or truffle. I liked their presentation and the serving platters that they used.
Melted Fresh Mozzarella
Baked Oysters, Three Ways
Mom and I liked this one!
Baked Camembert in Phyllo Pastry
Our GMs Favorite Salad – I was so curious to try this …and liked it!

Broccoli Soup

I am always curious to try burgers – it is one of my latest craze. It was okay, the best for me was the truffle burger…. though of course I wish I could choose the ways – like I would have probably wanted one that had cheese
Prawn and Asparagus Risotto
Pan Grilled Sea Bass
Grilled US Wagyu Rib Eye – ladies cut ( half portion again since we had it split into two )
It came with 3 sauces, the best for me was the truffle sauce

My cousin, Robbie, heard about my love for yogurt and told me about his frozen yogurt! I was so happy that he told me about it and immediately I ordered all the flavors!!
My favorite flavors are Vanilla, Strawberry Berry and Coffee. It is more tarty than my favorite frozen yogurts that come from the machine, but I like it also. YUMMY!!! I LOVE FROZEN YOGURT!!! I love hearing that it is healthy. How can something healthy taste so good?

After the talk by Tita Baby Cruz was French Bistro by Monique Santos, who is the sister of my dear dear friends, Dinky, Dondi and Dino!!! The whole time during the cooking lesson, I was admiring this young girl teaching us how to cook… with a Le Cordon Bleu logo on her Chef outfit….I was thinking to myself….If you have a Le Cordon Bleu education, you must be a good chef! Josie and I kept whispering to each other our amazement as to how cool and calm she was in preparing the food. She was so natural and was such an expert at what she was doing…and the food tasted great!
Thanks Monique for sharing your talent with us. I hope to have a cooked meal by you again and to feature you once more and many times more at Heart2Heart!
I asked Monique to send me her Food list where we can try more of her creations…..

It was another nice and fulfilling afternoon at Mothers Club. Thank you very much to Tita Baby Cruz for sharing with us great advice on living a gracious life ( Part 1 ) and to Monique Santos for the French Bistro cooking class ( Part 2 )
We were so fortunate to have the ever gracious and beautiful, Tita Baby, to give us a talk on Gracious living. I personally felt it was a valuable talk and all the other mothers agree. Sometimes we are so busy doing our daily chores, working to earn a living, trying to cope with the world….that we tend to forget what really is important and what matters most. It was a good wake up call and a reminder especially being a mother/lady raising children and running a home. Hopefully we can serve as examples to our children and to other women by living graciously and being able to smell the roses amidst the fast changing world
