We were so happy to be with Gilbert and Nikki in their lovely home 🙂 Here are the boys in the kitchen
Apparently Gilbert likes to cook!!! Heart2Heart loves it!!
That night he made sangria for us. I hope we can taste more of his cooking 🙂 Hint hint Gilbert 🙂
My favourite part of the house!! Gibert’s shelves of books!! This is just one side. Right across it is another shelf full with the same amount of books as this. This does not count the other books he has in his mom’s house and the cookbooks he has in his kitchen. Since high school, Gilbert loved reading books and he now has thousand of books in his collection. He has read some of then over and over again.
He told me that he sleeps very early and wakes up at around 2 am to read books and then he goes back to sleep again. And he does not read just one book, he reads three. He switches among the three books so he doesn’t get bored. No wonder he is so smart!!
We had a nice dinner, not in the main dining but in another part of the house which has this beautiful Asian backdrop! LOVE!!
I am so lucky my seat mate was Gilbert!! Enjoyed chatting with him and I was taking a lot of notes on restaurant recommendations here and in London. I love how passionate he is when he talks about restaurants and what’s good in each of them 🙂 i need more time to pick his brain!! 🙂
Of course beautiful Nikki was there together with the ever lovely Vicky Pimentel of Cucina Victoria and an ex- Rustan’s manager/designer. I love this lady a lot. We used to work together before and no matter what, she was always very professional and she did her job well. She was the mommy of the younger managers in the office
Rina and Joanne 🙂
Manolet, Kirk, James and Suharto
They served us a nice Spanish dinner. Thank you Gilbert and Nikki
This came when we were already finished eating and I wish Gilbert brought it out earlier!! His own homemade dish, Sinantolan. Gilbert told me that his friend’s mom used to cook this and he liked it but when they moved out of the country he had to learn how to make it himself and he got it in two trys 🙂 YUMMY!
The new member of their family, Brando. Gilbert got him for Nikki to protect her, but look how sweet and harmless he is!!! So cute!! 🙂 but gigantic 🙂
