Chef Javs

By Heart2Heart | Foodie, For kids | 9 Comments

Javs tells us he wants to be a chef one day….we thought this was a passing thought because Javs loves to eat and we were not sure if he just bakes and cooks because he likes to eat what he makes…..however he has been doing this quite regularly and I am glad I documented most of his creations 🙂

I am just happy that he likes to do something and he enjoys it…and of course we all benefit from his culinary creations and so far, we all like it! Who knows he might really become a chef one day…lucky us! 🙂

A Giant Chocolate Chip cookie! ( which was a bit over baked 🙂 )

Pancake with cream and nutella – he even has his own presentation 🙂 which we sometimes cannot figure out

He always makes one for Dada! and Dada of course always eats it…maybe not to hurt his feelings 🙂

CREPES!!! It is always a surprise so its a good thing James has his phone to take the photos

Snowman cookies from a Christmas cookie kit from Tito Donnie and Tita Crickette

This was the most recent… banana turon with chocolate Golden Spoon frozen yogurt. No one had a birthday but he put a birthday candle 🙂

Eating Together and Mongolian BBQ

By Heart2Heart | Foodie | 7 Comments

Again, our Mom never ceases to amaze us! She actually had a table made big enough to fit all of us in one table!!! We are a big family of 18 including grandchildren. Mom and Dad are really serious when they mean that we have to EAT TOGETHER! 🙂 So now Mom has her regular round dining table ( The Round Dining Table July 22, 2008) and she can switch and bring out her rectangle gigantic dining table to fit us all! 🙂

The family loves Mongolian buffet ( Crab and Mongolian BBQ Dinner June 8, 2009 ) prepared by Mom! It’s one of our favorites. And being a big family, sometimes it is easier to prepare Mongolian and we enjoy it because we make our own concoctions.

Gil and Christine…. A Year After

By Heart2Heart | Foodie, Homes and Interiors | One Comment

It’s been a year after Gil and Christine got married and they are presently at Boracay celebrating where they got married! Why didn’t you invite everyone again to celebrate with you over there? 🙂

Happy First Year Anniversary guys!!!

Gil and Christine prepared dinner for us after constantly waiting for that invitation! Here is a sneak peek at their dining room in their beautiful new home

Christine took charge of all the accessories in their new home since Gil took care of designing the interiors. So the place setting is all Christine’s choices which perfectly matches Gil’s taste – what a great match they make

TV in the dining room. Christine told me that Gil really planned it well that it was built in the wall to fit the design of the place

And here they are….the happy couple 🙂

What a great idea by Christine! Her placecards were her scrabble pieces 🙂

It was nice that our cousins Bubu and Trisha were there too…

A home cooked meal which we truly enjoyed!

Valentine’s Day lunch with the family by John and Keena

By Heart2Heart | Foodie, Valentine's Day | No Comments

We also look forward to Sunday lunch by John and Keena. It is always Chinese food – either from Peking Garden ( Peking Garden Trinoma May 2, 2009, Peking Garden G5 February 8, 2010 ), Hai Shin Lou ( Hai Shin Lou May 17, 2008, Happy Birthday Rins January 29, 2009, Happy Birthday James and John April 29, 2009 and Tito Totoy’s 76th Birthday Aug 25, 2009 ) or both! Today, it was a mixture of both. And as always- the food is wiped out immediately 🙂

From Peking Garden

From Hai Shin Lou

And we always have a wide variety of desserts since Tina always brings something to add

John brought these yummy cream puffs

Tina brought her homemade ice cream together with this adorable display for the toppings

favorite topping- heart marshmallows

and Heart sprinkles

Double Double chocolate with orange, Pistachio and Vanilla

Sansrival!! 🙂

Bizhan Persian House

By Heart2Heart | Foodie | 6 Comments

About two months after Golden Spoon opened in Magallanes Gateway center, Bizhan’s Persian House opened!!!! Remember Mr. Kazemi? ( Bizhan Kazemi July 31, 2008 ) Well, he now opened a restaurant and we are all very happy and excited! On the ground floor, there is a small nook for the shawarma for those how want a quick snack

I am sure many of you know him as you may have seen him in the bazaars and children’s parties as he is famous for his shawarma!

Chicken Shawarma – I noticed a lot of people ordering the chicken shawarma

As you enter the Golden Spoon door and get tempted to have a frozen yogurt :-), just go up the stairs which will lead you to the restaurant

There are three private rooms

And here is Mr. Kazemi with his kitchen staff

Fresh Kebabs being grilled in the kitchen

I could eat these dips over and over with pita bread, with kebabs, with everything!! YUMMY! and healthy!

Hummos

Motable

Pure Creamy Persian yogurt – freshly made

Cucumber with Creamy Yogurt

Tomato and Cucumber salad

Ox brain- believe it or not, it’s a popular dish – even my 10 year old son ordered this

Fresh hash brown – YUMMY!!!! We all love this! Eat this as an appetizer or we eat it with our main dish as a side dish like french fries

Vegetarian Samosa – YUMMY!!!!!!!

When the place first opened, I was customer # 1! And he served me Chicken Kabab! I LOVE THIS!!! YUMMY!! The chicken is so juicy, so tender and so tasty!

You can have it as a short order or by the stick

….With Rice

….or with pita bread

Shawarma rice – another Heart2Heart favorite- if you prefer to eat your shawarma with rice – I order extra garlic sauce 🙂

Chelo Kebab Barge

Lamb Kebab

Lamb Kebab with pita bread

Chelo Kebab Beef Kobideh

Grilled fish

Lamb Chop- YUMMY!!!

Everything is yummy!! And there is so many more on the menu!

Pre Valentine Dinner at Cafe Ysabel

By Heart2Heart | Foodie, Valentine's Day | 3 Comments

Around 3 dinners ago, Newton has been insisting we go to Cafe Ysabel to try this burger with foie gras

So finally, we arranged our pre-valentine dinner and Paolo and Trina came all the way from the South and we came all the way from Makati through the traffic 🙂 to try this burger. Only to find out that it was not available that evening! 🙂

But anyway, when we arrived, I felt like I was in highschool when James and I would date and go out for dinner

It was very simple back then with menus that were straight forward…though they have some dishes that are a sort of fusion yet the place was kept as is…which was nice for a change in a world where everyone is becoming modern and fast changing. The place reminded us of our highschool days and it was nice 🙂 They put us in the smoking area since everything else was reserved…

Its a good thing our waiter moved us to this other area which became our private dining area. We had them put the two tables together 🙂

So here we are 🙂

Appetizers

Fried Mozzarella in Anchovy Dressing

Bilbao Style Chorizo with Red Peppers and Balsamic glaze

Soups

Sopa Ysabel

Lobster Bisque

Willy’s Truffle Fettucine

Angry Sauce

Four Cheese and Mushroom Risotto – YUMMY!!!

I was the most frustrated of them all for not having the burger Newts wanted me to try- so I got the Burger Suisse instead which I really liked! It had raclette cheese – YUMMY!
