Discovery Shores Boracay

Jigger and May spoiled us! Now we always want to stay in Discovery Shores when in Boracay! 🙂 What a beautiful place… The staff in the hotel are all very cheerful and friendly and every single one of them never fails to greet you good morning, good afternoon or good evening when they pass you. And I like their pins which say ” Service that’s ALL HEART.”

There is even a shuttle to take you wherever you want to go.

Heart2Heart is so proud to mention that it was designed by only the best, Architect Willie Coscolluela together with his son who is our good friend, Gary Coscolluela. We are looking forward already to our next stay in February…..

As soon as we arrive in the airport, the spoiling starts already! We have the best boat in the island – it is airconditioned and they serve you bottled water… going back to the airport on the way home- they serve sandwiches and juice

When we arrive in the hotel, they give you cold towel and a welcome drink….then we are greeted by JR who escorts us to our room

Wish stone

Our room was a Junior Suite , this is the lowest category among the rooms and we were so happy. But imagine how the other rooms look like. They have one bedroom, two bedroom, with jacuzzi etc etc

Complimentary Foot spa as soon as you arrive in your room

Our view from the desk and we had a balcony facing the waterfall

Mandala Spa is already at Discovery Shores

I could not resist but take night shots as well of the place

Every night we have a different Filipino delicacy ( instead of the usual chocolates )

The room comes with breakfast buffet at Sands

LazerXtreme

By Heart2Heart | Entertainment, For kids | No Comments

I took Javier with his cousin, Lucas, today at LazerXtreme. Javs had a party here and he enjoyed it so much. The next day, his older brother also went here with his teenage friends. It seems to be very popular among the kids. One game lasts for around 20 minutes. I went inside with them and it does look like fun, even adults will enjoy playing with each other. Looks like this will be the latest hang out of the kids 🙂

Ballpark Fries

Whenever my cook, Edna, prepares this, it seems to always be a “hit” so I thought of sharing it here at Heart2Heart. Edna’s version looks even more yummy than the photo 🙂

Dining in Baguio

By Heart2Heart | Foodie, Travel | 4 Comments

My friend, Melissa, asked me for the Top 5 restaurants in Baguio…. That is a tough one to answer! Only because when we are in Baguio, we always eat at home. Mom prepares the best meals at home and we do not have to go anywhere else. We eat outdoors all the time to take advantage of the cool weather which we cannot do in Manila. We have Misono/Teppanyaki, Fondue, Barbeque, and Mongolian Barbeque. Mom brings up all her equipments and ingredients together with her whole household to make sure we are fully equipped. WHAT A MOM! We are so lucky we have her to feed us! 🙂

Last month we went to Baguio for three days and so we were able to have fondue and misono/teppanyaki

Raclette as appetizer! YUMMY!!!

Mom made sure I took a photo of her battery operated peppermill which she is so proud of 🙂

Watercress salad with truffle oil – Mom always makes sure she has watercress in Baguio which you can get in abundance at the market

Teppanyaki/Misono

Mom prepares Vitalite instead of regular butter

Of course truffle oil and truffle salt… and now Mom is introducing Grape Seed oil to us

And freshly ground sea salt!

FONDUE

Appetizer: Cheese fondue

We all like to eat the crunchy part after – “tutong” 🙂 YUMMY!

Mom has her own fondue sauces which are different from mine and she claims hers is better 🙂

For fondue, we have broth and oil – for the health conscious ones, they use broth. For the oil, Mom uses olive oil

Dessert: Chocolate fondue

Kikufuji

By Heart2Heart | Foodie | One Comment

Kikufuji is one of the favorite restaurants of Dad and Mom. They love it here because they serve dishes that are not found in other japanese restaurants. The menu is in Japanese without English translation, but for some reason, we know exactly what to order when we go here. The place is always full and when you see Japanese eating in a Japanese restaurant…that only means it is the REAL thing!
