Christmas Brunch

By | Christmas, Foodie | 3 Comments

My Mom really takes time out to prepare for her friends and family.  She is the best host and I really idolize her.  She prepared breakfast for her Simbang Gabi group on the last day and we requested for her to extend her breakfast to brunch so we could also enjoy what they had………

The juices became three kinds of fresh juices- melon, kiwi and orange.  What an idea and Mom suggested we mix them all into one juice – three seasons….

Everyone probably knows the famous dancing cop….. he stands by the intersection of Mc Kinley Parkway and 5th Avenue as you enter the Fort.  Heart2Heart was able to take a few photos of him a few months ago….and is paying tribute to him for inspiring many to find joy in whatever job you are doing at the same time making people happy.  Anyone who makes people smile has to be part of  Heart2Heart.

Bootcamp Christmas party

By | Christmas | 2 Comments

group-photo.jpg

Bootcamp 11:30 am/10am class – Weng ( not in photo since she left early), Margie, Katie, Bobby, Mig, Bing, Liza, Ning Ning, Alexie, Ned, Joel and Bina – had a christmas get together.   We missed others who could not make it – Marisa, Stella, Roseanne and James. It was nice to have some hubbies join in – Bobby and Joel.

We wanted to celebrate after all the hard work and pain our “puppy trainer”, Ned,  made us go through the whole year 🙂

It was potluck so we brought food to share in the buffet. Paella Negra from the “Paella Queen” Margie, barbeque from Roseanne, Iberian Chicken from me, Tiramisu from Liza, Cheeseplate and Canneloni from Katie and Bina. And Thanks to Ning Ning for the Sausage Tortilla and the drinks and for allowing us to use your restaurant, Bistro 110, as our venue.  Next time, we hope to try the food from your restaurant.  That chocolate dessert was really good

We enjoyed eating and eating as much as we enjoy suffering together at bootcamp

We are looking forward to bootcamp next year! NOT!! 🙂

La Vigne

Roselyn, I would never have doubted a recommendation by you, being the “gourmet traveller.”  Thank you to you and your Mom, Tita Trillo for arranging a great dinner for us.  We enjoyed celebrating our special day at your restaurant.  The last time we were at La Vigne was when our good friends Suharto and Rina invited us over around two years ago with a group of 30 people. 

Our special table……………………..

The Menu…………..

Our dinner………….

I highly recommend this dish. Pied De Cochon ( Crisp boned leg of pork with duck liver, red cabbage, barley salad and sweet balsamic ) which Roselyn recommended as well. The foie gras went so well with the pork.  I wish i could order the foie gras starter as a side dish tot his so it could go with the whole 3 pieces of pork.  But that would really be sinful!   551782176503_0_bg.jpg

This dish reminds me of a dish i had in Gothenburg which I featured in my past blog on Foie Gras.  It was the Panfried Duck Liver with Lightly Salted, Crisp Fried Knuckle of Pork, Truffle jus served with Sweet and Sour Summer Cabbage  in Sjomagasinet by Chef Leif Mannerstrom – Gothenburg, Sweden

James ordered the steak of course, the Steak Frites ( Prime rib eye ):

They also have a Bar Chow menu if you just want to hang out in the bar and enjoy the wine and have some pica pica………………….

They have a private room which fits around 12 people.  I was not able to take photos as it was occupied at the time we were there.  And you can have corporate events, it would be a perfect venue.

Christmas is Rustan’s!

By | Christmas, What's New at Rustan's | 6 Comments

Every Christmas, everyone always looks forward to seeing the Christmas windows at Rustan’s.  It is only Rustan’s that creates that MAGICAL touch every Christmas.   The windows ( and now even the facade of the building ) are always so beautiful and really brings the Christmas spirit in our hearts! When we think of gifts and giving a special gift to someone, it has to come from Rustan’s.  CHRISTMAS IS RUSTAN’s!
