Red Crab Alimango House, Resorts World

By Heart2Heart | Foodie | 4 Comments

We had lunch at Red Crab! Heart2Heart’s first time.

YUMMY! we all liked this sisig!

The crabs were really good!!!

Crab Maritess which is with garlic and oil

Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter Crab! Typhoon of garlic!! 🙂 YUMMY!!!

The crab lover!

So much garlic leftover!!

And don’t forget to look under all that garlic, there is noodles which is very very good also!

You can ask for a finger bowl to wash your hands after holding all that crab and garlic

And the waiter even gives you extra hand gel for “good scent” as he says 🙂

Crispy Bistek ala Tapa! Yum! it comes with tofu under

We didn’t order this but another table did and I took a photo. It must be the Queen Seafood platter- It was a couple who ordered this

Mom loved this Sinigang na Ulang sa Burong Mangga at Tanglad

Desserts

Dulce de Leche cheesecake

Frozen Brazo de Mercedez

Frozen Strawberry Margarita Pie

Good thing they put brown paper on top of the table because of all the spills for the crab 🙂

Home Cooking

By Heart2Heart | Foodie | No Comments

Tina invited us to come over to try the cooking of her Tita’s cook as she was trying her out and having her teach her cooks some dishes. Of course we immediately accepted the invitation! We are always willing tasters 🙂

Heart2Heart loves home cooked meals and loves cooks who cook at home and makes us feel like we are in a restaurant 🙂 There were two evenings of this and we enjoyed both.

Thank you to Gerry and Tina for always inviting us….

Of course, Paloma always shows herself after dinner and sits with us in the table

Other willing tasters who joined 🙂 Rainier and Tammy and Dina

Onion Soup

Pork Chops with wine

Chicken Paprika

Tomato and spinach

Yummy Sylvannas

The second evening

Pumpkin soup with gruyere

Chicken in red wine

Prawns Thermidore

The Ultimate Round Dining Table

By Heart2Heart | Celebrations, Foodie | 2 Comments

We attended a very interesting dinner last month. It was a great experience and we were so happy Dad and Mom took us along to the dinner. We hear so much raves about Tito Robbie and Tita Helen from Dad and Mom, so it was a priviledge to actually join them……. and we had an instant admiration for them.

Thank you Tito Robbie and Tita Helen for sharing your home and your beautiful family with us.

I normally feature people, food and table setting but this time, there were so many other things that were different from the usual

Remember when I featured the ROUND DINING TABLE? ( Click on link below )

https://heart-2-heart-online.com/2008/07/22/the-round-dining-table/

Tito Robbie will not eat in any restaurant that does not have a round dining table! Tito Robbie even has his own round table in Antonio’s whenever he goes there. Now you know where Dad and Mom get the inspiration for their round table

This was our dining table that evening

And according to Tita Helen, his dining table keeps growing and growing. The table we had for dinner was good for 18 but the real table that will come will be good for 22.

Tita Helen also told me that there are 3 things that are required when having dinner with Tito Robbie

1.) You have to remove your shoes and you have to wear slippers which they so kindly provide 🙂

2.) You need to talk about yourself and update everyone of the latest things you have been up to. For us since we were new to everyone, we just introduced ourselves. I am very very shy and don’t normally like talking about myself but I do enjoying listening to others talk because I learn so much from them. That evening, everyone had to talk about themselves and not only did I learn a lot from my seatmates ( which is what normally happens ) but it seems like I got to talk to the whole table and we were 17 all in all. I noticed that in this dinner, I could not concentrate on my food as I was very interested in listening to everyone.

3.) There must be a group photo after the dinner

And this is what we had for dinner…..

CRU at the Marriott

By Heart2Heart | Foodie | One Comment

It’s our first time to visit the new Marriott Hotel, Resorts World Manila

Mainly to try the Steakhouse, Cru. It’s a very impressive restaurant and we had no complaints in terms of ambience, service, quality of food, dining experience etc etc. They did a very good job!! There is however room for improvement for the steaks which should be the specialty of the place.

We all loved this bread! Very fresh and very unique and good

For Gilbert and Nikki

By Heart2Heart | Celebrations, Foodie | 4 Comments

Another wonderful evening with Suharto and Rina who invited us to join them for dinner as they were hosting at their home for Gilbert and Nikki

We were so happy to see Manolet and Maya and then to meet the rest of the family… a very nice family – Brothers – Ernest, Manolet, Quito and the wives, Malou and Maya. We missed Vicky who was not able to attend. A family that supported all the way their cousin, Gilbert which is why Heart2Heart would call this the victory party 🙂 because family and friends support each other through thick and thin!

A home cooked meal by Suharto and Rina..except for the Lechon

Suharto makes a Pimm’s drink for me which I really like

Juan Miguel arrives after dinner and I kept telling him to sing na because it was getting late- it may be the start of the party for them but sleeping time for me already 🙂 So I only caught them singing for awhile .. watch the video 🙂

Always love the giveaways, Thanks Suharto and Rina for your friendship and for the many new friendships we have because of you

Wingman Grill, The Collective

By Heart2Heart | Foodie | 5 Comments

Heart2Heart loves chicken wings!!!!!!!!!!! So we definitely ate here too! I think we have been to the Collective 4 times already going back and forth. We have to keep going back to try the new places and then need to go back again with my kids because for sure they will like the shops and the ramen resto which we still have to try

Will Yeh and Mike Chueh were there, 2 out of the 5 owners of Wingman!

Iron Skillet Queso- their version of nachos and cheese. YUMMY!! The plate with the onions and tomato is for the quesadilla

Here is the quesadilla

Bucket for sauces and seasonings

Home Run Sliders

I took out the top so I could see the inside – Chimichurri, Wingman burger and the Cowboy burger- Heart2Heart’s favorite was the Cowboy burger

THE WINGMAN WINGS!!!! YUM YUM YUMMY ALL THE WINGS!!

You can order a dozen and half it into 2 flavors. It’s a better deal to order a dozen at P 280.00 since half a dozen is P 180.00 🙂

Choose also your level of spiciness- we just chose the medium since we do not really like spicy

Lemon and Pepper and Hickory barbeque

All wings come with ranch sauce but you can order blue cheese sauce

Buffalo wings and Garlic Parmesan – MY FAVORITE EVER IS GARLIC PARMESAN! I like all but I love the Garlic Parmesan the BEST!

Here it is up close, garlic Parmesan!

The CLASSIC BUFFALO

Hickory Barbeque

Lemon and Pepper

Side order basket of Curly twists

And a sink to wash your hands after eating all the YUMMY WINGS!! WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK MANY MANY TIMES OVER! 🙂
