This is my second feature on Mogu.

It’s a family favorite, not only because Lola owns it 🙂 but because the Japanese food is really good.  It’s a good thing we eat early dinner so it is not so full yet.

And of course Chef Seiji is always there, who Dad loves 🙂

Heart2Heart’s favorite maki!!! I like it because they are generous on the crispy topping of tempura batter and crab- in other places you have to ask for extra and they still do not add the tempura crunch.  It is my favorite – Ebi Tempura Maki

House Specialty Harami Sukiyaki

We still always order the pizza even if it is not Japanese!!

The kitchen was right in front of our table – so we can’t help but order what was written on the glass!

A Visit to the Ayala Museum

By | Arts and Culture, Proud to be Pinoy! | One Comment

Last month, we had the chance to visit the Ayala Museum.  Though it is so near and conveniently located to us, we obviously take it for granted as this is our first time to visit the museum since it opened in 2004.

We of course love the Arturo Luz sculptures

At that time, there was a Manansala exhibit going on… BEAUTIFUL!!! They were strict and did not allow photos to be taken for any of the exhibits

As we attended an event that evening, they were giving tours for us guests…

Due to limited time, we quickly visited the Gold exhibit and the Ceramic collection by Roberto Villanueva.  We were so amazed!  It’s all beautifully done and presented and the collections are so rich!  It’s worth the visit!

Personalized Touch

By | Household Tips, Shopping | 3 Comments

I ordered these notecards for my husband from Denise at Heartwarmers. I am happy that my husband is conscious about these things and he always makes sure he sends a proper thank you note or a personalized note to thank friends and family.  Nowadays, with text messaging and emailing and many other high tech methods of communication, Heart2Heart likes the old ways of sending a nice handwritten note.  My grandfather who is almost 90 years old, till this very day, sends us always a birthday or anniversary greeting and a thank you note in his personalized notecards.  He never fails to send us one whenever we give him something.  And it’s nice to see not only females making the effort. So I will provide as many notecards to my husband and make sure he will continue this and hopefully my two sons will follow suit 🙂
