CHOICE IS GOLDEN! 🙂 🙂 🙂

The self-service model with scales is so yesterday. Golden Spoon now offers WEIGHTLESS PRICING, which means you just buy a cup for one price and fill it up as much as your like.

Nice to be back at the W to dine at the Goose station, The last time was Carmina’s birthday in 2010 when they had just opened

Lolo Jun and Lola Menchu wanted to treat Jaime who was here on Spring break vacation.  Javier suggested the Goose Station though he could not join us that evening

Choice of Express Menu or Degustation

celebratingatthegoose4.jpgcelebratingatthegoose7.JPGcelebratingatthegoose8.JPG

This is my favorite way of having a meal – a little of everything, no buffet where you have to stand up several times, and you can have a peaceful and uninterrupted conversation with your companions.  

We were five in the table and four of them chose Memory, I refused to have the same since I like to try as many dishes as possible.  So James and I shared with each other and we got to try all.  It was a wonderful dinner, Jaime of course enjoyed his brother’s recommendation.

Both degustations gets the same amuse bouche

Buhay Pamilya

By | Today's Quote | No Comments

 More than the delicious food that we all grew up loving, I think everyone would agree that what has endeared us all to Jollibee is its appeal not just to kids but to entire families. It’s that happy place where we first learned to share a burger with our siblings, the magic word that lights up every child’s face (what kid doesn’t get giddy over hearing that their parents are going to treat them to Jollibee?), and the venue for countless family get-togethers.

[wp_youtube]GceGl4wVmRo[/wp_youtube]

This is what Jollibee has poignantly captured in their 35th anniversary TV commercial, which fittingly pays tribute to every tatay, nanay, ate, kuya, bunso,  lola, and lolo who has made Jollibee the number one place for family bonding.  For parents, dito ang sarap maging magulang just by seeing the priceless smiles on their children’s faces when the plate of Chickenjoy lands on the table. For a grandpa, dito ang sarap maging bata ulit with his grandchildren, as they enjoy their sundaes together.

Jollibee’s commercials have become classics, not only because of the memorable lines (“Isa pang Chickenjoy!”) and catchy jingles (“I love you Sabado pati na rin Linggo”), but for depicting timeless Filipino values and the incomparable joys of childhood and being part of a family.

[wp_youtube]Q1lBCZ52ZD8[/wp_youtube]

 In this time when the importance of family has taken a backseat and our kids are oftentimes distracted by superficial things, it’s great to have brands like Jollibee reminding us of how important it is to stay close as a family.

Las Flores

By | Foodie | One Comment

This is Heart2Heart’s first time to try Las Flores

I like the bright, light and lively interiors of the place

My bestfriend Eds made sure I tried a cocktail since she knows I don’t really drink – but I truly enjoyed it 

We had a wonderful lunch!!  Everything was delicious but my favorites were the croquetas, the chorizos, the salad and the Angus Foie Mini.  I kept asking the waiter to come back for more

I am so embarrassed.  I approached the counter since I noticed a handsome 🙂 spanish guy who seemed to be orchestrating the lunch – and I asked him if he was the manager, he answers ” No, I am the owner.”  Oops!  It was Uri the owner of Las Flores 🙂

My seat mate Raoul whispered to me that there is also a cute Spanish Chef inside and true enough he comes out by the counter, so I was able to take his photo too 🙂
