Heart2Heart was so happy to be back at Masseto!  I told Tippi that it is quite difficult for us to repeat restaurants since there are just so many to try out there, yet she always gives us reason to come back!  

This time we were with our good friends, Gary and Alexie.  We were happy to take them as this was their first time to dine at Masseto.  They truly enjoyed their meal and will be back 🙂

Happy to see the owners there- Cynthi Tambunting Recto, sister of Tippi, with her son Luis who is a viewer of Heart2Heart!  Thank you Luis, I am so happy I have young readers who follow my website

I love this compliments from the Chef- James and I like to order more of these compliments 🙂  But seriously, it was really good!!  This should be on the menu!

We shared everything we ordered among the four of us.  I truly truly enjoyed everything we ordered including the new dishes on the menu!!!  The foie gras with chocolate sauce, the cheese soufflé, the pasta mentaiko, everything! I ordered the ribs just so I could have the blue cheese risotto 🙂  I added photos here of some dishes we did not have but are part of the menu

Arriving on Friday May 17th – White Asparagus from Germany! Limited stocks only.  For reservations please call 8103565, 3380929 or 0918-8118088

Tippi showed me this whisky that had Hearts 🙂  Available at Bar M.  Limited edition and they do not make this Japanese Malt Whisky anymore

Congratulations Tippi!!!

And Congratulations Gary and Gil!!  It should have been Gary treating haha!!  We are so proud of our friends!!  MORE POWER!!!

We heard about this new place from our brother, Mike!  So when we were looking for a place to eat, I suggested this to the girls.  Timmy Antonio first brought me to this place as her Mom, Ruby Diaz Roa, is an officer and an active member of the Makati Garden Club.  She told me that part of the proceeds which they get from the restaurant will go to the club  

Cross the bridge

Towards this place – they used to sell furniture and accessories here before

And now they turned it into a French Cafe!!!  

So nice and cozy -perfect for the “ladies who lunch” 🙂 

Baltazar Artisan Breads – They have freshly made breads being sold there and at the same time being served with the dishes at the Cafe

The chef and owner of this place used to be the Chef in Savoy Bistro, Sandra Fernandez.    She was not there last Friday since she was out of town.  I have never been to Savoy Bistro but Des said it was good and since Mike and Gloria say it is good, I got excited and told the girls.  

We were admiring the chandelier on top of our table which resembled a Capo de Monte style piece 

Our table

Compliments

 with the bread basket 🙂

I am so glad we ordered plenty appetizers because I love appetizers! 🙂

Mussels ala Baltazar! Des said Savoy Bistro was known for this so we ordered it and they loved the mussels and I loved the sauce!! I just kept dipping my bread on the sauce!  YUM!!!

I made sure we ordered this – Baked Mushrooms – Fresh Shiitake, eggplant and raclette these

Cheese fondue –  3 cheeses with lots of sour dough bread

Yum!  I loved this because it’s not the usual packaged swiss fondue, it was homemade and it was not as strong – very light and very yummy!! They kept refilling the bread! 🙂  

Luzanne making sure we scraped the cheese to the last drop!

Everything we ordered we shared equally so we can try as many dishes as we can

We had two salads which were both very good – Romaine salad

Salad de Maison

Scallop and Asparagus risotto!!! YUM!!! Thanks Lucille for ordering this!!  

Gloria was there!!  Also lunching with her friends

She shared with us some of her Alaskan king crab claws – Yum!

Creme Brule to end.  We were hoping to have the Mango Crepe but it was not available that day 

Enjoyed as usual with the Beautiful Friends Forever ( BFF ) group :-).  The more senior ladies at our back were so sweet – as they were leaving they told us that they were talking and watching us since we reminded them of themselves when they were our age and up to now they still get together to have lunch together.  And I told them we were looking at them and saying that we would be like them as we grow older 🙂  

Our bill which came in a cute tray 🙂

Very convenient for Urdaneta Village residents, you do not have to go out the village, you can park near the gate and just walk it is right outside the gate

I love eating in the Raintree group restaurants because you will find dishes that are unique and cannot be found elsewhere – I love looking at their presentation and of course trying all their delicious concoctions

Nice also to dine at their themed restaurants – with very interesting interiors and fun accents inside their restos 

I always like to try a new milkshake when I visit

Trying to be healthy and choosing an alternative – I ordered the Blueberry Granola Yogurt.  It was less the calories but still has cream in it 🙂  delicious of course

 Someone else ordered a better version which had no cream nor ice cream 

I loved this Truffled disco which has everything I like!!!!  A MUST TRY if you like french fries

This was the Asian Taco which they replaced with fish for those that were not eating beef- It’s the biggest taco I have ever seen so far 🙂

Breakfast is now all day!!  Portions are big – good for sharing!

Big Boy fried chicken and waffles

Eggs Benny Two Ways – with ham and with salmon

Mr Jones bestselling overload – Jones’ Famous Ribcap tapa – Yum!

Grilled Double Smoked Bacon and Corned beef hash – YUMMY!!!!

Challah French Toast

Banana Walnut Pancake Stack

They serve TWG tea!!

 Thank you Chef Niehls Manzon for the great food!

Looking forward to the opening of Saboten!!
