For Dad’s special day last June 6, Mom hired Chef Tom Bascon to prepare a special lunch for the family. Chef Tom was recommended to us by my sister in law, Tina Banzhaf de Jesus. Chef lived abroad for 24 years and studied in the French Culinary Institute of America and worked in Nobu for 5 years
Chef Tom’s kitchen helpers – his wife, Michelle and her brother in law, David
A nice set up by Rustan’s Flower shop by my sister, Maricar Lopez Tiangco
She asked us for used wine bottles since Dad loves wine 🙂
Chef Tom does not have serveware and flatware so Mom provided them
Dad was so happy that Chef Tom is from where he is – from Bacolod! And dad guessed that his family owned the Bascon Hotel in Bacolod 🙂
Lunch was served which we all truly enjoyed!!!
Give Chef Tom a call to have him cook for you, you will Enjoy! 🙂 Thank you Chef Tom for wonderful meal for Daddy!

I was so happy to be at Jeepney Car which looks very different from the one I knew when I was growing up. I wonder what happened to all those jeeps that used to be inside the restaurant – I remember coming here just so we could eat inside the jeepney 🙂 and of course for their renowned crepes samurai. I did not have dinner here – but I was able to take photos. We only came here for the dessert buffet which was included in the resto-go-round promo
Previous entry: Resto Go Round at the Intercontinental Manila Hotel May 15, 2013
Instead they have all these jeepney decors on the walls
It was buffet for dinner
Mongolian
Dessert buffet which was quite extensive
But we only focused on the Crepes Samurai. We added fresh mangoes which you can get at the plate on top of the crepes 🙂
And a little halo halo 🙂
In one corner is a special spot for the Club 365 composed of Juan Ponce Enrile, Armida Siguion Reina, Jejomar Binay and many others. They have been going here every morning for many years now
Their corner
And all the members have a mug with their names on it

What a great idea!!!!! So nice of friends of Rhea – Chary Mercado, Chinie Hidalgo Diaz, Gem Mañosa, Gene Tamesis, Willy de Ocampo, Tech Alegre and Rhea’s sister, Donna Ferro and cousin, Gigi Eala – to help her fight her battle against cancer.
Rhea has had an eight year battle with breast cancer. This year she was admitted in a treatment program at Stanford Cancer Center but to join that, she has to stay in the US for a year. All funds raised will pay for her living expense while she is there
Most of the bags will be marked with fixed prices ranging from P 1,000.00 to P 2,500.00. The very nice designer bags in good condition have starting prices from P 3,000 all the way up to P 40,000 and those will be the ones up for auction. It will be a silent auction. The bidding starts at 3pm and closes at 4:30pm and the winner can take home the bag that day. According to Chary, they have almost every brand name, recent models and vintage ones. It’s a great outlet for fashionistas because they will sell at less than half of retail. It’s also a chance to get bags that are no longer being sold or those that do not retail in the Philippines. Here are some of the bags
