A bar where you can have pintxos 🙂
Plenty fresh seafood

Cheese from the region! YUM! It reminded me of parmesan
In Europe you see almost all the ladies in the supermarket with these shopping carts which they use to transport their groceries since many just walk or commute

Heart2Heart loves going to BF Homes and trying the restos in the area!!! Our official guides are our friends Ned and Janet who live in the area! That’s the only time we really get to go out of town ( haha ) and eat there. Or we always ask them for resto recommendations in the area. They wanted to take us somewhere else but since it was November 1, it was closed! So they took us to another place called Mama Lou’s! A few years back, they took us to Cafe Francais which was on the main street, Aguirre. That closed and the owner moved and opened this place
And here’s the owner! Richard Tremblay
When you enter, there is outdoor dining 🙂 This was a photo when we left so it was late already but earlier on, the place was jam packed!
And then indoor dining. The inside was also full!
Our hosts and dear friends – Ned and Janet. Thank you for a wonderful dinner!! We enjoyed the food and the company even more! 🙂
Parmesan cheese is important on the table! 🙂
Yum Mama Lou’s iced tea which has mint
I asked the server what the bestsellers were and she said the Shrimp formaggio and the Vongole Olio ( in photo ). We ordered the Shrimp formaggio and it looked like Cibo’s Telefono. Looks like only – the taste was different 🙂
I always want to try the bolognese in every Italian place but we ordered too much already so I just took a photo of a passing Spaghetti bolognese 🙂
Hope to try the truffle mac and cheese and the risotto next time
Their version of the panizza! Thin crust pizza which I love and at very reasonable prices!
James always orders these type of pizzas – ALL MEAT PIZZA for the boys – Ned and James
Janet and I ordered this! We both love cheese so Janet ordered the Quattro Formaggio and I ordered the Mama Lou’s special which is their bestseller! You can split the pizza into two kinds!!!! THE BEST AND SO YUMMY!!!!!
Close up of Mama Lou’s pizza which has prosciutto and melon and balsamic glaze!!!
Rollo di Pollo which has cheese too! 🙂 Sort of like a mini chicken ala kiev with pesto sauce
A passing Mango crepe dessert 🙂
Homemade blueberry cheesecake! YUM!

Dad and Mom wanted to try Yakumi 🙂 so I joined them
Right by the entrance you will see the Teppanyaki cooking being done on the spot
They have a Japanese Sous Chef at the sushi counter. And here he is preparing our sushi and sashimiToro and Unagi
Chef Shinobu Endo gave us some complimentary sushi – Kelp Spanish Mackerel flavored plum rice sushi
Thinly sliced duck breast
We had a very good and pretty server – Anna! She reminds me of Josie Natori 🙂
We took home some of the leftovers and they are very professional about it – they let you sign a waiver
And each pack is labelled with instructions
We walked around to check out the other restaurants
We bumped into Victoria Carlos, the Bandana Baker, and she said the ice cream here is very good! Hoping to try this next time
I was tempted by this section! 🙂 Hoping to try this too

Heart2Heart is so happy to meet Tita Carla Abreu-Lim of Sunny Bakeshop! I visited her at the Corinthian Gardens Clubhouse. Thank you Tita Reggie Aguinaldo Young for introducing Heart2Heart to Sunny Bakeshop and Tita Carla!
Tita Carla told me the story about how her mom, Lulu Campos Abreu, who started Sunny bakeshop in 1960! Her mom used to love baking and took baking lessons at the same time learned a lot from her mother in law. Tita Carla said that her Mom always had a bubbly and “sunny” disposition hence the name SUNNY Bakeshop 🙂 In the mid 80’s she closed the store in Dian St. and continued to sell from her home to friends and family. When Lulu Campos passed away, Tita Carla decided to continue the business. She told me that she believes in keeping the heritage and culture alive so as not to lose one’s identity. If she did not continue what her Mom was doing, she would have lost everything that was good and created by her Mom
The bakeshop is a very cute corner in the clubhouse of the Corinthian Gardens Village in Quezon City. It is a gated village but don’t worry, the guards will let you in the gate if you say you are picking up something from Sunny Bakeshop
This is like their commissary as well since all the baking is done here. There is no dining area but just a place to pick up the goodies. What a cute place!
Tita Carla pointed out that weighing scale on top of the shelf which is the one that her Mom used before
Articles on Sunny bakeshop all displayed on the wall
The original Mango Tarts which everyone tried copying. My mom keeps asking me about the pineapple stars! 🙂
One of their bestsellers, Vienna Wafers made out of casuy. The casuy they use comes from a livelihood for women in El Nido. It’s a foundation that gives back so not only are you eating yummy vienna wafers, you are helping the women of Palawan.
Tita Carla said that aside from all the original recipes of Sunny Bakeshop, she added the salty food items 🙂
Chorimada – Chorizo ensaymada in bite sizes. They also have the original ensaymada
This is my FAVORITE!!! Cheesesticks!! I buy these in boxes from New York and now I can have them fresh and made in the Philippines!!! YUM! I highly recommend this very yummy cheese breadstick
It’s made out of Pecorino cheese!
Garlic Ham rolls! They used to make this with spam but now they replaced it with ham and garlic for a better alternative. Beside it is the mini chorizo rolls! YUMMY TOO!!
There were no cinnamon rolls available that day I visited so I just took a photo! But they are known for this too!!!
Always best to call in advance for your orders so they are freshly made 🙂 You can have a party already by just ordering everything from Sunny Bakeshop!
Have a SUNNY DAY!! and ALWAYS KEEP SMILING:-)
