Thank you Jaime and Chris Daez for this book!!! I seem to be receiving a lot of books lately. I love the photos and the cakes all look so good. And Heart2Heart loves chefs that share their recipes 🙂
I am passing this on to Chef Javier to make some cakes for us!

Heart2Heart is so happy to finally try the new Maple restaurant at San Antonio Plaza, Forbes Park! Congratulations to our friend, Martin Lorenzo on another great concept!!
When we entered, we saw a table of Assumption Moms having a meeting 🙂
Oh my gosh!!! Heart2Heart is so thrilled!!! 🙂 Please don’t get mad at me Hayden Kho and Vicky Belo for taking your photo paparazzi…. Heart2Heart is a fan! 🙂
Love the placemat
Bestsellers according to the waiter are Prime Rib Tapa and Huevos Rancheros but they were both out when we ate there
Pancakes are similar to Pancake House but the pancake expert, James, says that it is fluffier at Maple! 🙂
I wanted to try their chicken sandwich and compare it to the Pancake House chicken sandwich- apparently it is a different chicken sandwich and I liked it! I like also the bacon on top and the fries that went with it
Another chicken dish for me!! YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For me the dressing is as important as the chicken so I liked this 🙂
Mom’s order – Yum also!
Father Julian and Dad loved this Salmon
This is Chef Gibert’s order which I took before it reached him haha
James’ order
We knew everyone in the restaurant 🙂 It has such a cozy and comfortable atmosphere – just like home 🙂

We wanted to stay in this hotel as it is relatively new. I also heard from our friends Steve and Cherina that it was a nice hotel. But since we were booking very late, it was already full. The hotel is at the back of the Paragon mall which to me is a great location 🙂 You have access to the mall which has shopping, other restaurant choices and the MTR
We ate in their Thai restaurant and to me this was my best meal for the whole trip
Cold lemon grass juice which was very refreshing
The menu- you have a choice whether you want a 6 or a 9 course meal. The choices are the same for both meals but you just get more by choosing the 9 course. Everyone gets the first page which is the nibblings, Street cooking 1 and Street cooking 2
Pad Thai with Crab Meat and Rimmed Scallops
Wagyu Beef Salad with Yam Pudding and Sweet Melon
Tom Yum soup based on shellfish and Galangal served with Prawn dim sum
Duck with Red Curry, Cabbage and Foie Gras Spring Roll
Quail in Aromatic Tom Kha with Chanterelle and Crispy Skin
Banana Cake with Salted Ice Cream and Caramel Milk
Orange cake with Tangerine Sorbet, Lemon Curd and Frozen foam
Pineapple Sorbet with Coconut, Rum and Malibu

The next hotel right beside the Four Seasons is the St. Regis Hotel. We had our New Year’s even dinner celebration here. It was full so we got a table for 9pm already. Zuma has several branches worldwide
We had brunch during our last visit to Hong Kong
