For Christmas lunch, since all the staff were resting from the Christmas preparations, Dad and Mom invited us to lunch and since not all restaurants are open on Christmas Day, the best bet are always the hotels. So we went to Edsa Shangri-la Hotel. They had a buffet where you can get your antipasto and dessert and you are served your soup and choice of main dish. It was very good!

After touring Belenismo, Tita Isabel and Isa took us out for dinner!!
They wanted to take us to their favorite ( Nay’s House, Tarlac January 2, 2009) but they were busy for a catering. So they took us to Coconut Grill. Thank you for hosting our visit to Tarlac! We enjoyed ourselves and we are deeply honored to be your guests! We love you!
Tita Margarita insisted on changing the table to square ( just as good as round ) so we can all see each other 🙂

Three days in Hong Kong and we realized we did have great meals but we did not shop for anything! But then we realized we had a great time! 🙂
Our last meal in Hong Kong, dimsum for breakfast! James enjoys Asian food! So he let me have my Italian and steaks and he had his Xiao Long Baos and dimsum 🙂
Around 2 blocks away from Mandarin Oriental Hotel is City Hall where they have dimsum!!
The big city hall was almost full on a Sunday morning for breakfast!!

For us, nothing beats Din tai Fung’s Xiao Long Baos. We still have to try if there is anything that can match or beat it. But til this day, none for us. For our last dinner in Hong Kong, James chose Din Tai Fung! And of course the place was full and there was still a long line outside
Din Tai Fung is the only one who has the Steamed CRAB ROE with PORK and the BLACK TRUFFLE PORK. YUMMY!!! This is already our meal and they all look at me because I eat it with rice 🙂

James and I had our anniversary lunch here at Opus Grill! We have been wanting to try this as they serve Bryan Flannery steaks in this restaurant. So, I really made sure that we celebrated here! And this was my most favorite meal for the whole trip. Thank you to Bryan Flannery and to the owner Evan Erlanson, for a wonderful anniversary treat!
Customers store their wines here for an annual fee and they can just consume their wines when they dine here and to go with the delicious steaks

Loved all the starters!!
Semlolina-Crisped Rougie Foie Gras
Slab of House cured bacon
Cornflake Crusted Hokkaido Scallops
Loved this burger!! It was also unique that they did not use the regular burger bun, it was a mixed herbed bread. The onion rings and fries were so good too!
Since we are familiar with Bryan Flannery steaks….
James wanted to try this…
Blackmore’s ribeye
If I could, I would order all of the sides!!!! And though that truffled Mac looked good and was one of their bestsellers, I wanted to try something new, so I had the Roquefort and Bacon mac which was also good
Believe it or not, we still had room for dessert
