Hotel Venezia, Legazpi City

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

Hotel Venezia is owned by the same owners of Misibis Bay.  This is where some people stay when they go to the Whale Shark Interaction.  It is around an hour away from the hotel. So, I would recommend that if you plan to do the Whale Shark Interaction, you can move from Misibis Bay Resort to Hotel Venezia so you will be closer and half way there already- one hour instead of two hours away 🙂 So we hope to come back one day and stay here and do the Whale Shark adventure!

In between our tour of Legazpi City, we were fortunate to have stopped by to have lunch at the hotel

Mr. Jones

By | Foodie | One Comment

Finally we got to try Mr. Jones at Greenbelt 5! We decided to go as soon as it opens and have brunch!  They did not accept our reservation as they do not take reservations on the weekends.  Maybe it is because the seating capacity inside the restaurant is quite small with around 5 tables only, then you will have to stay outside.  Heart2Heart loves the whole experience because the food is good, service is good and the presentation is so much fun!

The famous US Beef Ribcap ” Tapa and Garlic overload”

The Jones Classic Chargrilled 100% US Beef Burger

Blue plates means their main dishes.  And the server told me that the portions are good for 2.  I think it was good for 4!  🙂 It’s really good for sharing so nice to come in big groups and have fun at Mr. Jones!

We asked the server which was their bestsellers and we ordered two out of the three.  The third was the Wagyu Beef ribs which we just have to go back for another time

Ofcourse I ordered the Wicked Truffled Mac n’ Cheese

My brother said that this is all he orders here so we ordered it too and it was good!

Fish N’ Chips

And my usual hot water! And it came in this pot.  At first I was looking for the cup then realized later on!  LOVE IT! 🙂

We were already satisfied so we did not order anymore dessert. Another reason to come back 

Other parts of the menu

No wonder…it’s also owned by the same owners of Chelsea Market ( Chelsea Market March 2, 2008 and  Chelsea Market with Eric and Mig November 28, 2008) and the group that manages Discovery Shores Boracay ( Discover Shores Boracay November 16, 2008 and Discovery Shores the Second Time around February 27, 2009) headed by Annabelle Wisniewski of Raintree restaurants. She always does a good job!

Yi Long Court, Peninsula Hotel Shanghai

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

We heard about the opening of the new Peninsula Hotel in the Bund, so we  wanted to take a peek and so we had lunch in their Chinese restaurant.  Beautiful interiors, nice ambience and delicious food, just as we expected

The YongFoo Elite

This is our second time to go to YongFoo Elite.  The first time we just toured the place and this time we got to try the food.  Heart2Heart loves the place!!!!!!!  Unfortunately they stopped me from taking photos as it was not allowed, but it was a good thing I got some shots already
