A 3-month old Mercato in South of Borough (Sobo) – Mercato Metropolitan @mercatometropolitano – an Italian Food market ! Super LOVE it here – yellow tables, red crates. Its by an old 3 storey paper factory which now has an Italian Supermarket, a boxing gym and the top floor still to be developed. It’s a 10- minute walk from Borough Market #mercatometropolitanolondon #H2HLondon
Not everything is Italian! 🙂
A Cozy enoteca!!
Risotto – pumpkin, sage, toasted hazelnuts and smoked cheese. I wanted to try something different so I chose this over the mushroom, pecorino and bacon #mercatometropolitanolondon #H2HLondon #H2HRisotto I made a mistake! 🙂 I like this better!! Risotto of the day – carbonara! Yummy!!

Lunch at Restaurant Story @rest_story by Chef Tom Sellers @tomsstory I highly recommend this place if you’re in London. This was my best meal this trip! It is located near London Bridge so come early and walk by the bridge and take photos!! haha!!
Love the place! So cozy!!
There are 2 kitchens – one up
and one down where they do the prep
My pretty cousin Cara Jalandoni Davis ( daughter of Tita Ana @annajalandonidavis ) is the reason we are in Restaurant Story @rest_story She is a chef here
We are so proud to be related to talented Chef Cara Davis @caramariamichelle . She was busy during our lunch at @rest_story as she was working on pass. So we were happy to see her in short intervals. 
I was stalking her in the kitchen and watching her in action.
She is only in her 20s and she has achieved so much!! She started at the age of 15 at Kultura Restaurant and worked for Chef Ted Corrado at C5 at the Royal Ontario Museum. On her senior year in high school (2010), she won the gold medal at Skills Canada which earned her a scholarship at CIA ( Culinary Institute of America NYC) and got a 4 month internship at Alinea under Chef Grant Achatz. After graduating from CIA she was entremetier at Eleven Madison Park (NYC), under Chef Daniel Humm. She also went to the French Culinary Institute in NYC for the pastry program and graduated with distinction and in the Dean’s List. She then moved to Arzak in San Sebastian for 2 months. She went back to Toronto and worked at George Restaurant under Chef Lorenzo Loseto ( 2014 winner of the Gold Medal Plates). In 2015 she was one of the semi finalists for the Young Chef for 2015 and she moved to London and is now sous chef at Restaurant Story under Chef Tom Sellers @tomsstory who is super amazing. She’s so lucky to be working with him. Looking forward to following her wherever she will be especially when she opens her own restaurant #H2HChefs #H2HPeople #RestaurantStory #MichelinStar #H2HLondon

We had a preview of the menu and wow!! What a beautiful event and dinner
Yum! Brisket at @mightyquinnsph We tried this 2 years ago in New York City and we are glad it’s here in Manila. #MightyQuinnsPh #H2HBBQ #StandardHospitalityGroup
So yummy! Chicken Wings!! It was spicy which I do not normally eat but I still ate it because it was so good 🙂 
2 years ago we tried Mighty Quinn’s @mightyquinnsbbq in New York City. We tried their brisket and burnt ends and dirty fries in their 2nd Ave branch. We didn’t get to try their Brontosaurus which we thought was fattier and more yummy than the brisket!!! A MUST try at @mightyquinnsph That whole rib for only P1,450 with all the sides!!! 
The only dessert on the menu – Bread Pudding with of course a scoop of Selecta Vanilla ice cream! 🙂 More ice cream on the menu please! 🙂 
There were drinks pairing by the Curator 🙂

Peachy Concepcion’s favorite 🙂
The only Mighty Quinn’s in the world that serves rice 🙂

That whole event was prepared and organized by the eldest son of John and Peachy, Michael Concepcion! I first met Michael when Peachy wrote about him in her book and that was in 2007! Now he is all grown up! He has 4 stores selling fashion and he is an event organizer!! Obviously he is very creative and so talented!! Congratulations Michael!! Looking forward to more!!
On many occasions, women find themselves wearing the perfect outfit, perfectly ruined by the wrong choice of innerwear. Be it the long standing problem of unsightly bra lines, seemingly incorrect cup size or just simply one that moves out of place every time you move, your innerwear not only defines your level of comfort but can make or break your outfit of the day.
New from Maidenform® are two luxurious solutions for every season, every occasion and every body type. Introducing the Comfort Devotion Memory Foam Demi Underwire Bra—an underwired T-shirt bra with subtle lift that features an ultra-light memory foam lining in the cups that perfectly form to your natural curves, giving you that personalized fit. It’s made with super soft fabric inside and out with a more built-up back than most Maidenform bras, which helps give you an all-around smooth look. 
Perfect for low-cut tops with its demi neckline and a sexy strip of see-through lace that shows off your assets in a secure, semi-customized feel. With a perfectly fit bra personalized to your cup size, it’s simply easy to be memorable without you even noticing it.
Now that you have your bra woes figured out, you can look for more solutions at Maidenform. With the Instant Slimmer Waistnipper, a bestseller now made in skin-tone body beige, you can achieve that hourglass figure you’ve always wanted regardless of the color of your dress or top.
Made with soft, sleek fabric that feels smooth against the skin, this Waist Nipper provides comfortable firm control for everyday wear—not just for special occasions. This shapewear minimizes bumps and bulges, and smooths your body for a more natural, sleek and slim look—giving you a boost of confidence, all day and all night.
Whether you’re up and about for work or leisure, day trips or nightcaps, you will never go wrong with the right underwear. May you be full-figured or on the light side, choose whatever fits you well and firmly hugs your natural curves, because at the end of the day, whatever you wear is only as good as what you have underneath.
Feel confident and beautiful everyday with Maidenform shape solutions, available in leading department stores nationwide. Maidenform® is exclusively distributed by Rustan Marketing Corporation.
