NIC’S started out as just a wholesale commissary back in 2001 – supplying a variety of desserts and savouries to several cafes and restaurants throughout Manila. Today, NIC’S has expanded even further into retail now having two restaurant branches; one at UP Town Center (Katipunan) which open five years ago and the latest one newly opened at Park Terraces (Makati).
Comgratulations Rina Go @rinago79 on the second Nic’s @nicsph in Park Terraces. From Fashion to food. Sometimes what we think our career will be – will turn out into something else. Delicious and very reasonable food at Nic’s. We will definitely be back to dine here. More power #nicsph #h2hpeople#tastemattersatnics#foodmeetsfashion
Where Fashion Meets Food and Taste Matters – Taste going beyond food – can be fashion, music, film, travel, broadway, sports etc. In NIC’S you will be able to enjoy this.
NIC’S takes pride in self-sufficient with supplying its own restaurants – creating delectable dishes that cater affordable Filipino and European comfort food, as well as several pastries, bread, coffee and now cocktails. Even the breads, dough, and sauces of the sandwiches, pizza, and pasta are all made in the commissary. NIC’S also offers to-go dry goods and bottled items which can be given as gifts during holidays and special occasions such as weddings or company events.
Newest Branch Park Terraces: In the latter part of 2017, Rina and Nicole worked closely with Atelier Almario’s Ivy and Cynthia Almario for months conceptualizing the design for the Park Terraces branch which just recently soft-opened last November 2018. The chemistry between them truly shows when you see the classy interiors of this restaurant-cafe.

I bumped into Beaver ( who is not in social media ) and he brought me to their family dinner since Gina brought organic vegetables from Tublay, Benguet. I bought some organic turmeric which i take regularly This woman is amazing – she is constantly doing things to help others always The family- Beaver, Mike @mikelowps T. Cedie @cedievargasJorge @jorgelichauco & Maita @maitalichauco Bea @beapunoPickie, Cary and Rina – were all supporting Gina @ginalopezphbuying all the vegetables. Bea told me that the farmers have to pass through 9 layers of middlemen to sell their vegetables so you can imagine their price. Gina helps them and brings the vegetables direct from the farmer to the consumer 
For those who asked about the organic vegetables of @ginalopezph – they are available today at @therockwellclub . They are still setting up so not many vegetables displayed yet. Please come and support our farmers ?? #tublaybenguet #h2hgreen#ginalopez #h2hgivingback#h2horganic #h2hproudtobepinoy

My kind of shopping 🙂 50 pcs. black crates on sale at @shopwise_ph for P129 ( regularly at P149) I bought these through the years so I already had 50 pcs for a total now of 100 pcs. We use this so much in the house for putting things, transporting things and organizing things. I prefer them over baskets or carton boxes because they are easier to clean and will last forever.
peg i gave the staff to follow My latest decluttering /organizing in the basement of the house. This is not yet finished 🙂 I did this just to sort them and i still have to go through each crate to continue to declutter and see if i really need all of them #h2hhouseholdtips #h2hhoarder 🙂
