Makeover

By | What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

I was walking in Glorietta and noticed that Bon Apetit is now closed.  I will miss Bon Apetit as it has been so much a part of Rustan’s and so much a part of my life. I have been going to Bon Apetit ever since it opened which is maybe more than 20 years agop1070375.JPG p1070377.JPG

But in every closure is a new beginning….. Soon to open in this area

Dr. Arnold Salud

Arnold has a new look now…with the moustache and all 🙂 

Heart2Heart is so proud to feature Dr. Salud!  

The reason Doc Arnold could not join us for lunch was because he was rushing to go to his clinic. So, he stopped by to say hi and then left to service the long line of patients waiting in line to see him. He is one of the partners in American Eye Center.  And just to prove to you how good the center is, when I entered there were chairs in the front of the clinic with patients with numbers waiting to be called.

We went straight to Arnold’s clinic and he was busy so we just took a short peek…The doctor in action

Thanks to Ginge for arranging a lunch for Rina!  Ginge always introduces us to good Filipino homemade dishes and restaurants.

She brought us to Recipes which has been opened for a long time already but this is my first time and I LOVED IT!!! Of course aside from the food, we can never get enough of the stories and great company of Ginge!  We hardly see her but when we do, she has plenty to tell!  We enjoy so much and love her!  🙂 Thanks to my bestfriend Rina for introducing me to her

We were so happy that Doc Arnold stopped by to say hello!  Doc is really the friend of Rina since College in Ateneo.  He took care of her as she was new from the province…always like a big brother.  So, we love Arnold too!  🙂

Lavosh

By | Yummy! | No Comments

I have been wanting to try this interesting bread which I see at the Salcedo Market..finally I did. YUMMY!

p1070519.JPG

 From Ana

Lavosh is an Armenian flatbread… Baked, not fried… I add herbs and seasonings. Flavors vary depending on what’s available, as we use home grown herbs as much as possible. Chili, ginger with black sesame, rosemary, dill, oregano, sesame, basil.

You can eat it alone or with a dip. Good alternative to chips!

Or as a wrap:

Sprinkle a cracker on both sides with water and wrap in a clean, damp kitchen towel. After about 20 minutes or more, bend one corner, if it cracks, it’s not ready. If it’s pliable, you can spread with stuff and roll.

Like cream cheese and smoked salmon. Or avocado and shrimp and alfalfa.

Whatever you want.

P115.00 per bag of 8 pieces [all one flavor only]

Keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If for some reason it gets soft, just stick it in the oven and it’ll crisp up again.

A few months ago, Heart2Heart featured Planet Sports in Power Plant Mall which was done by our good friend Gil.  Heart2Heart is even more proud now to feature Gil and the many works he has done.  From homes and condos to restaurants, retail stores and showrooms.  He even designs furniture now which he exports internationally.  Gil is so talented and very enterprising.  We have see his style evolve through the years and side from acquiring the artistic talent that runs in the family, Gil has developed his own style.  We have worked with him a few times and aside from being our good friend, we enjoy working with him because he is very flexible, we are very comfortable with him and he can work around your budget yet come out with a beautiful end result.  

More power to you Gil!

Elbert’s Cheesesteak Sandwiches

By | Foodie | 5 Comments

Two weeks ago we tried Elbert’s Cheesesteak at Power Plant Mall.  Many people were already calling me asking me about it and many have tried it already before Heart2Heart so I know this is delayed already for many.   So for those who have not tried it yet, come on over and try them!! YUMMY!!! More power to you Elbert!!!!

dsc_2546.JPG

 Of course Elbert was there!  At the same time we were there, someone had ordered 75 sandwiches for take out so they were really busy! 

 elberts-cheesesteak-3.jpg

A very simple menu.  I hope that next time we can create our own cheesesteak and choose our fillings.  I will definitely have a four cheese with lots of onions!  🙂
