My sons told me about this place at Burgos Circle as they are into basketball!  They went to check it out and Jaime had his haircut.  Last week, Javier asked me to take him here to cut his hair too

It was so nice to bump into the owners.  They are four partners.  Basketball player,  Jeffrey Cariaso, was not around but he is the partner not in the photo

Dennis Tan, Raoul Reinoso and Steve Quila

As you enter, on the left is stairs to take you up to the basketball store and of course my kids go crazy

And to the left is a barber shop and this is where my kids like to cut their hair!

Pulled Pork Sandwich by JC Bernardo

By | Foodie, Pork | 4 Comments

We recently discovered that a friend of ours, JC, is now into cooking as a hobby!!  James of course then tried to get as much information and learn from JC.  He always calls JC for advice on how to cook his different meats! He is our new foodie friend! 🙂 So you will be seeing more of JC at Heart2Heart!

JC’s kitchen

I thought this was an antique decor just for display!  It’s an oven which JC really uses 

img_8902.jpgimg_8904.JPG

JC purchased a boneless pork butt from James and he even showed us how he cooked it!

This is the cooker, a Grill Dome kamado,  that JC uses to cook the pulled pork and he keeps it overnight for 16 hours!  He even wakes up in the middle of the night to check it! JC is willing to cook pork butt for you for a fee 🙂  Please contact JC at 0917-7914593

img_8929.jpgimg_8928.jpg

He even uses special wood chips to cook the pork

By | Pork, What's New at Rustan's | 5 Comments

As we appreciate good beef, we are now beginning to appreciate good pork.  James now brings in pork as well from the States under the Vande Rose Farms brand and is now available at Rustan’s Supermarket!

Shi Lin

By | Foodie, Golden Spoon | One Comment

Of course the Xiao Long Bao loving family heard about Shi Lin, so last year, we went to try it!! 

img_4241.jpgimg_4242.jpgimg_4256.JPGimg_4257.JPGimg_4258.JPGimg_4259.JPGimg_4260.jpg

We were surprised to find out that the place is owned by the Lorenzana family, the same owners of Office Warehouse!  Our cousin, Marga, is married to a Lorenzana ( Eugene )!

We were lucky to get a table, we heard that the place is always full!!!! More during lunch time

img_4261.JPGimg_4255.jpgimg_4286.jpgimg_4262.JPGimg_4263.JPGimg_4264.JPG

That evening, we bumped into Tito Butch and Keith and Angela and kids!!  We came from the same school Christmas program and we had the same idea!!! And thanks to Tito Butch for treating us!!  and most especially for the company! 

img_4281.JPG

If there is a Hainanese Chicken craze, there seems to be a xiao long bao craze going around as well!! The Xiao Long Bao is very very reasonable! P 108.00 for 6 pcs!! My 3 boys, the xiao long bao eaters, say that it is okay, not quite like Din Tai Fung in terms of size and soupyness, but it is OK already!  You cannot really compare because even the price is so much cheaper.  Though no one yet has the other variety my boys like – the pork and crab roe and for me the black truffles!! 🙂

After dinner, it was our turn to treat!!  We had our dessert on the ground floor of Podium and had GOLDEN SPOON!!!

Heavy Bicycle Loads

By | General Information, Photography | One Comment

On the way down driving  from Baguio, we saw this!!! They were in front of us 

img_6853.JPG 

 I remembered i received this from my friend, Bobby 

Apparently, some people in China have never heard of U-Haul. They are, however, amazingly efficient in the way they pack and move all their inventory on a tiny little bike.

“Manufactured Totems” is a series by Alain Delorme which brilliantly portrays the pressure Shanghainese migrant workers face. Piles of products labeled “Made in China” are stacked up to produce gargantuan sculptures, symbolizing their ever-increasing fetish with objects. The vertical nature of these items echoes the incessant expansion of the urban space – constantly under construction.

Mamma’s Table by Vicky Tinio Clemente

By | Foodie, Travel | 13 Comments

There are so many good reasons to go to Baguio nowadays!

One of the highlights of our Baguio vacation was our dinner at the home of Vicky Clemente! I heard about her from our good friend, Lindy.  What a memorable experience!  

We spent our New Year family celebration here and it was a great idea!

mammas-table1.jpgmammas-table3.jpgmammas-table2.jpgimg_6723.JPGmammas-table5.jpg

As we were early, we enjoyed the  Board of dips, pate and bread with our champagne

mammas-table4.jpgimg_6663.JPG

You can bring your own wine, which we actually preferred to do 

mammas-table24.jpgimg_6727.JPGmammas-table8.jpg

Vicky says she has no menu when people ask, because it depends what is in season and what she sees in the market.  She also will not tell you your menu as she wants it to be a surprise!  Heart2Heart loves surprises!!  We all enjoyed our 8 course degustation!!  

Amuse bouche, an intermezzo, Fish course, another intermezzo, meat course, followed by a digestif and then dessert for P 1,250.00 + service charge 

mammas-table9.jpgmammas-table10.jpgmammas-table11.jpgmammas-table12.jpgmammas-table13.jpgmammas-table14.jpgmammas-table15.jpgmammas-table16.jpg

Vicky went to culinary school ten years ago in the States  

mammas-table17.jpg

For kids there is a 5-course meal ( at P 250.00 / person ) so they can enjoy a similar experience plus marshmallows and mini hotdogs to roast in the fireplace.  

Drivers and Yaya’s eat free!! 🙂 mammas-table10.jpgmammas-table18.jpgmammas-table19.jpgmammas-table20.jpgmammas-table21.jpgmammas-table23.jpgimg_6707.JPGimg_6829.JPGmammas-table7.jpgimg_6719.jpg
