Congratulations Tippi!! Finally a restaurant where we can enjoy your cooking
LUNCH MENU
Bacalao Fritters
Goat Cheese Ravioli, Olive Butter
Pork Belly, Sauerkraut and Onion Rings
Crispy Duck Leg, Roasted Potatoes – one of their popular dishes and really very good
Crab Cakes, Egg, Hollandaise Sauce, Roasted Potatoes
A meal is never complete without dessert! no matter what! And Tippi makes them as well all from scratch
Pavlova Strawberries- i think I can eat two of these 🙂 Love Pavlova! and Love Strawberries!
Chocolate Hazelnut Tart – their bestseller, also very good
They have a bar menu and a dinner menu for the evenings and we were able to sample two appetizers which Tippi made us try. And even after all that she served us, we wanted to order the bar food 🙂 but they were not serving it for lunch
DINNER MENU which is more or less like lunch with a few more other dishes
Portabello Mushrooms, Baked Egg
Tripe, Lamb Sausage and Bone Marrow Crust – WOW! This was really good!
I suggest to take Ayala Avenue and turn right before RCBC Plaza and that road will lead you to Valero street and to the building which will be on your left
There are a few pay parking spaces in front of the building and we were lucky to get one when we arrived

Happy Birthday to again another of my good, good and beautiful friends, Lils!! Lils is the cousin of Jeanne ( Jeanne’s 40th birthday December 13, 2009 ) which explains why she is also blooming and getting prettier every year 🙂 Another 40 year old in the batch.
We have been schoolmates since gradeschool and then groupmates since highschool and 20 plus years after we are still groupmates. I love and enjoy her because I can be myself with her, she is very open and very comfortable talking about anything and anything straight and direct to the point and it is funny how direct and open she can be about the realities in life……..and that is what friendship is all about
We celebrated in one of their favorite restaurants, Je Suis Gourmand, and had a great time with the gang though we missed Yvonne and Pael

Even New Year’s Eve is difficult to find a restaurant for dinner. Either they are fully booked or closed for dinner. So we ended up again somewhere near the hotel. We always pass this restaurant but never eat there. Finally we did and it was quite good! Fusion Japanese food and at very reasonable prices. I was not able to get the menu so I will just describe the dishes in my own words 🙂
They had crispy cheese crackers – similar to the parmesan crisps! So of course we ordered this
Salmon Aburi which was also popular
Chicken Wings
Fresh sliced tomato
Spring roll with pork and cheese
Spaghetti Bolognese with soba noodles and egg on top – interesting 🙂
Deep fried pasta noodles with seaweed- unique pica pica
Mussels which you grill yourself in a cute small griller
Assorted Yakitori
This was like bacon with cheese inside – YUMMY!
A cheese fondue dish
Another dish cooked in front of you- I forgot what it is 🙂
Brownies with ice cream which was YUMMY!!
Waffle with ice cream

Mostly all restaurants are closed in Tokyo on New Year’s Day. It’s a good thing Mom found a Mos burger near the hotel that was opened!! Mos burger is what Sango (Sango at Power Plant Mall November 13, 2009 ) is in the Philippines. We normally order the yakiniku burger,
but this time, I tried their burger which is the master burger in Sango.
Heart2Heart has to admit that the Sango Master Cheeseburger is even more YUMMY than the Mos one.
But anyway, the family enjoyed spending New Year’s at Mos burger

Rosetta was recommended to us by our family friends, Mercy and Bob, who lived in Japan for a few years. It was a bit hard to find as it is in the residential area. A house converted into a restaurant….very nice and cozy and a perfect place to have a special dinner. We all enjoyed our dinner.
There were 3 set menus to select from. Since we were a group of 9, we were able to try all amongst all of us. Heart2Heart really prefers sit down dinners where the food is served to you one by one and in small portions. That way everyone is seated and can talk and eat properly
This was a favorite- the Kobe beef sashimi
Pasta was really good

After having the sashimi breakfast ( Tsukiji Market Breakfast January 9, 2010), we headed towards the fresh market! WOW!! How I wish we were staying in a house or apartment so Mom could cook for us using all these fresh seafood!!

This trip, we went to Tsukiji market ( Tsukiji Market January 17, 2009 )early in the morning.
Be careful of these guys going around in these motorized things! They just come out and move so fast
People lining up for the restaurants
Finally we get a seat! The restaurants are so small so it can only fit around 10 to 12 – so we got in as customers finished until we finally filled up the place
You can never get prices this cheap in regular japanese restaurants…
The chef lays a leaf in front of you where he will put all your orders
This was the most popular order of the family – Around US$7.00 for a piece of Otoro. Mom says that is already cheap and you cannot get it at that price anywhere else. So you can imagine how the family just ordered it!! 🙂
Heart2Heart is not really a sashimi eater so I ate the safe one which was cooked – the unagi 🙂 YUMMY!
I am happy my sons are adventurous and eat sushi and sashimi 🙂

Dad and Mom took us to this restaurant where they enjoyed with their friends before in Tokyo
An interesting concept. We came in and we saw this – it was a whole table surrounding these two chefs and there were ingredients in front of us
in front of the chefs is a griller where they grill everything you order in front of you
Then you tell the chef what you want – we just pointed to the ingredients. Then you will hear the chef shout what we ordered and then the other waiters in the background shout it as well! Hilarious? 🙂
And they cook it and then they serve it to you using this wooden stick
There are photos on the wall with stars that have been to their restaurant
The food was very good.
We were not given any menu and we got surprised with the bill. We felt we paid too much for what we had, thugh Dad and Mom said that the Japanese are very honest and honorable people and will not cheat us. I guess it was our fault for not asking for the menu also. So, make sure you ask for the menu!
Anyway, I found this in their website:
This was the branch we went to:
