Previous entry: Ramen Yushoken Dec. 6, 2012

We went last Friday so it was not yet open but yesterday they opened to the public

Here’s the Ramen Bar 🙂 Interiors by Noel Bernardo Soft opening Menu

In Japan Ramen bars, there are vending machines where you can choose your orders and push buttons and then you have to pay and get a receipt to claim your orders. Here there is a manual version 🙂 So the first step when you enter is to pay for your orders with the cashier Then get your receipt/Claim stub which you have to give in the bar James goes all the way to Alabang to have this. Tsukemen Tokusei which has a fish broth. I don’t really eat ramen but when I tried this, I liked it!!! I am slowly getting to like ramen every time I go with the Ramen boys 🙂

Lainey’s Desserts

By Heart2Heart | Foodie | One Comment

We also had dessert brunch at Marvie’s! Aside from meeting her Guinea Pigs and bunnies

Previous entry: Marvie’s Warehouse December 8, 2014

Marvie introduced me to one of her good friends, Elaine. They are golfing buddies including their husbands. I am so happy to meet Elaine and spend time with these two very nice and lovely ladies.

We had a nice dessert brunch in Marvie’s place at 10am

It was like we were having a degustation! haha!! But this time it was 4 dessert plates 🙂

Elaine Tadena de Jesus – the beautiful homebaker who prepared all the desserts for our brunch

Lainey's Desserts (9)

Elaine used to be a singer in two girl bands, Tangerine and Sky. Of course i asked her to sing for us 🙂

It was when she got married, her husband, Tootsie, asked her to bake for him! During their trip to Turkey, they fell in love with Baklava and when they got home, Tootsie wanted more Baklava so he asked Elaine to learn how to make it! 🙂 “PUSHY HUSBAND!” haha!!! That is our joking term for him. So Elaine had to try many recipes until she perfected it. After that she baked other things and now it’s a business 🙂

Our desserts!

New York Cheesecake

White Chocolate Cheesecake – I call this a Giant Oreo! 🙂

A new creation and recently launch – Banana bread. YUM! So moist!

And here is the Baklava for Pushy husband, Tootsie 🙂 This is the cashew and it comes in Pistachio and Almonds

I love her platter 😉 She is married to a de Jesus but unfortunately we are not related. They are the de Jesus who owns a farm of chickens that lays the fresh eggs that goes into all the baked goodies of Elaine

Marvie served us a special Chinese tea to go with all the desserts we hadContact Elaine

Marvie’s Warehouse

By Heart2Heart | Animals and Pets | 2 Comments

So happy to see Marvie and her husband Hubert. Hubert is the cousin of our very good family friend Tito Edwin and Tita Dorothy who we love so much 😉

I visited their home 😉

Stockings of all the cousins

Marvie’s collections

Plus collection of umbrellas! 🙂 She says they are always prepared because umbrellas always get lost somehow

Golf clubs 🙂

Marvie introduced me to her Abssynian Guinea Pigs!! This is one of her hobbies. She also sells Guinea pigs 🙂

The hair of these guinea pigs are really nice because she really takes care of them. Meet Lolo the stud 🙂 He rapes all the lady guinea pigs to breed them

Meet Beyonce the brown Guinea pig! So pretty and she was pregnant at the time I visited them and a few days after she gave birth to two babies 🙂

One of the secrets to having beautiful guinea pigs is feeding them the right food which is grass 🙂 They are the lawn mowers in the house. So here you can see the patch where they ate 🙂 They should not be fed feeds but grass and the peels of fresh fruits and vegetables. So they are good pets because they recycle the peels 🙂 at the same time it benefits their health and beauty 🙂

She has bunnies too 🙂 If you want to have a Guinea pig too, Pls contact for payment & pick up arrangements 09209030199 viber what’s app or email marvieswarehouse@yahoo.com

The Crazy Cook’s Christmas Menu

By Heart2Heart | Foodie | One Comment

My friend, Carmina Mapa del Rosario, “the crazy cook” has a catering business in Davao!

the crazy cook carmina del rosario

She lives in Davao so I only get tempted by her photos in instagram! from her or from her very lucky husband, Don Durian! I am waiting till we can go to Davao and to be able to enjoy her cooking 🙂

But this Christmas she is bringing in to Manila some of her delicious concoctions and can be used in your parties or dinners or be given as gifts.

Crazy Cook (creative catering solutions) +63-928-505-3605 and +63-82-234-7075

crazy cook christmas offerings 2014

Kitayama Meat Shop carries these two items now so you can get them there too

Balbacua as explained by Carmina 🙂

“The story behind this dish comes from market vendors and butchers who would stew their unsold/leftover cuts and sell it as a soupy ‘ulam’ the following day. Raf and I love eating it so I thought of making this Southern Filipino dish richer and meatier by using imported oxtails and shanks. I braise it for 6-8 hours in ginger, ground peanuts, red peppers and an assortment of secret herbs and spices from Mindanao.

I was a bit surprised because in the beginning it was my family who just kept on ordering. And then in the past 3 months more people tried it and it now has a following from Manila foodies like JJ Yulo, Robbie and Angela Dinglasan, Carla Tengco, Itong and Richie Torres, and many more. Even Chefs like Bruce Ricketts and Marvin Agustin like it. (Or so they told me by text or IG!)

JJ described it as ‘the love child of kare-kare and callos’.”
