Our last dinner in Dallas, we chose Italian recommended by the concierge
Loved the bread which reminded me of the Indian bread puri –
but apparently it is just their pizza crust 🙂
This was the best pizza that evening!!! Heart2Heart loves unique dishes!!

I was happier when “the gourmet” said fried chicken 🙂 So aside from ribs,
Previous entry: Sammy’s BBQ July 26, 2013
we went to a fried chicken place called Bubbas! 🙂
Catfish and 2 tenders – Mom’s order. Yummy mashed potato!
Dad is very disciplined, he chooses always healthy so no fried – he did not enjoy it! haha!! But he liked the lima beans on the side
Jaime also trying to be healthy – did not enjoy too! 🙂
Chef Javs and I enjoyed!! We had fried chicken! 🙂
The french fries was yummy, it had a peppery taste
Mom loved the bread pudding

Jaime, “the gourmet” :-), did he research again and he read that Dallas is known for fried chicken and ribs. So the boys went to have ribs for lunch at Sammy’s
Sometimes simple menus are better!
They look happy 🙂

Cronuts craze!!!
How quickly our country caught up on the craze!
Maybe some classes in Enderun on how to make them? 🙂
Thanks to this magazine we found in the hotel room, we sort of used it as a guide 🙂 We followed several in the magazine and went to Tei An. It was in this complex with several other restaurants We actually went without reservation and they turned us down because we did not have one and they were quite full and busy. So we made a reservation and came back for dinner 🙂 I am so glad we went back because this was one of my favorite places It’s Japanese fusion We were so intrigued by the Kakiage and was feeling bad we could not order it. Apparently it has something to do with the oil. The chef wants to oil to be fresh and so he will not cook anymore at a certain time once the oil is stale Loved the tempura – the batter was potato chips 🙂 I don’t eat uni but I love risotto and this was really good!! I ordered the soba risotto!!! YUMMY!!!!!! While everyone is into the ramen craze, we are moving on to Soba! atleast in this restaurant 🙂 A little room for dessert [email_link]

Heart2Heart was so happy to be back at Lolo Dad’s! The last time I was here was maybe 10 years or so when it was relatively new. They were one of the first ones to introduce sea bass in the Philippines! They have now expanded their dining area and can now serve up to 50 people Thank you Ding Ayuyao and Teddy Montelibano for inviting us to have dinner at Lolo Dad’s! A cute story from Mia Ayuyao. Mia used to work for my Mom in Bon Apetit Patisserie and Cafe! 🙂 She helped my Mom put up the cafe in the Shangri-la Mall And we are truly honored to have been able to taste a meal prepared by Chef Ariel Manuel who is truly truly amazing!!!! This is our first time to have this experience. The last time I saw Chef Ariel was when Chef Jay Gamboa invited us to the Final Practice of the Culinary Team in 2009 and at that time the food was prepared by the team Previous entry: Culinary Team Pilipinas 2009 – Final Practice May 3, 2009 If we go all the way to Antonio’s, Quirino Highway is not too far away and believe me it is worth the trip! Chef Tonyboy Escalante of Antonios and Chef Ariel both came from the Tivoli – which is no surprise why I like them both – Tivoli is one of my favorite restaurants! I love watching the Chef in action – who by the way is so soft spoken, so simple and so humble!! I love samplers!!! This is how I like to eat – a little of everything! I cannot eat one dish the whole meal, I prefer having a little bite of everything and this is what Chef Ariel prepared for our appetizer. Lolo Dad’s is also known for Foie Gras – and foie gras is an exception, I can have a dish of Foie gras and finish it all 🙂 Which explains why I liked this dish too!! SUPER YUM!!! Baked Oysters on Angel Hair pasta with slivers of seared duck foie gras A little cup of soup before the main course And some sorbet in this cute little teapot Watching Chef Ariel again 🙂 He is making our special lobster gratin dish which is new on the menu. I asked Chef Ariel who the young chefs were and from where they are – he said that they were interning at his restaurant. I told him how lucky they are to be trained under him!! And being the humble guy that he is, he told me, I can only offer them a free meal!! My gosh! I told Chef that they are benefitting so much and learning so much from him and that it is worth much more than any free meal or any monetary value! Heart2Heart loves chefs that share their talent with others 🙂 Thank you Chef Ariel! And here is our lobster!! Wow!! This was really good!! Thank you Chef Ariel! Teddy told me that Chef Ariel had no formal schooling for cooking. His dad made him take architecture which explains the colors and the height in his cooking 🙂 All angles of this delicious creature 🙂 We kept turning around the plate to see what angle would be good for the photo Gratinated Lobser with Mushroom and Mustard Sauce Sauteed Jumbo Scallops and Tiger Prawns Confit of Kurobota Pork Belly as recommened by Chef Ariel – so James ordered this Herb de Provence Crusted Rack of Lamb Three Cheese Risotto – YUMMY!! This was mine! White Chocolate and Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta with Fresh Berries Frozen Mango Terrine Love love samplers!! Sampler of Chocolates! I heard from Teddy that this tasting menu was fantastic! They have tasting menus every now and then Heart2Heart loves this place!!! [email_link]
Last week, I met up with my bestfriend, Eds to catch up and to get my copy of our Velada coffeetable book! Previous entry: What is a Velada July 19, 2013 She took me to her side of town and we went to La Creperie. We wanted to eat near the new Rustan’s Fresh at P. Guevara Previous entry: Rustan’s Fresh Now Open at P. Guevara July 8, 2013 They have already 4 branches – Eastwood Mall, Shangri-la Mall, Robinsons and this branch in Little Baguio Heart2Heart loves these type of places!!! Cozy, dainty, fresh, cool, bright and perfect to meet up with friends They serve TWG! It’s a small and narrow space so there is a second floor which I forgot to go up to before leaving to take photos I got this photo from their facebook page Eds ordered the Savoyarde for me because she knows I like raclette 🙂 Le JJ was really good too 🙂 The basic ham and cheese – Yum! You can also make your own crepe! All photos from hereon are not our orders but food coming out of the kitchen and passing us. Just making sure since you might think we ate all of that! 🙂 Don’t forget your Red Plaid card Right beside La Creperie is a Spanish restaurant which Eds said is also very good – need to go back with the gang so we can share more dishes! 🙂 403 F. Calderon St.,Bgy. Little Baguio (San Juan).
