is Aruga Cafe
As I was checking in Aruga Residences, I saw this pretty lady Vicky (Victoria) Pimentel!! Apparently she runs Cafe Aruga which is the coffee shop of the serviced apartments. They had just opened two days ago. She told me that all the best and original dishes from Cucina Victoria is served here! She’s so masipag and has always been even when she was working in Rustan’s. So happy for her and love her Super love the walls at Aruga Cafe. There are two walls like this. The interiors were done by Butch Valdez who now works in the States and does international projects like the Peninsula Hotel in Bangkok. He has done a lot of work for Rockwell. Breakfast at Aruga Cafe. Left is Eggs Breakfast and Right is the Continental Breakfast which had a choice of Toast, pancakes or waffles. And 2 eggs any style and a choice of Farmer’s Ham (2 slices), Hickory Smoked bacon (5 slices), Spam (3 slices) or Wienerli Sausage. Gosh I wanted all! I asked if I could have 1 slice each. But ofcourse I chose spamA few weeks after was the formal blessing and launch. Tita Cedie Lopez Vargas, Gilbert & Nikki Teodoro, Rissa’s twins Tea and Ale, Le Lagdameo with Manolet and Vicky. Congratulations Vicky Pimentel and Aruga Cafe. Come on over to Aruga Residences in Rockwell and try out the new Aruga Cafe

Father Gabe said something so nice for the blessing. He said that When you invite a priest to your house, your resto or to anything. You put God in the center of your lives. When you bless a place, you bring the presence of the lord – therefore you feel LOVE, unity, joy, tranquility and peace. And when you go out of that place, you share the presence of the Lord and those same feelings of LOVE and you become a source of blessing for others too. You also rid the place of evil spirits and anything negative. So beautiful
