Every saturday is lunch with Lola Charing.  This tradition has been going on ever since we were kids.  We try to make it as much as we can, because we want to visit Lola and at the same time we all love her food!  🙂 And she really makes sure that we all eat well!   Thanks to Tita Rose who helps Lola manage the house and takes care of all the food!  

This was the saturday lunch of about two weeks ago.  I will have more features of Lola’s Saturday Lunch……

 We look forward to the appetizer which is there almost all the time- Vargas Kitchen Pizza.  

Lola supports her sister’s business 🙂

Tita Rose’s famous salad dressing which she invented and we all love

Corn Soup which my son, Javier, loves

Salmon which Javier also loves 🙂

Tilapia for the health conscious ones, like Dad

Kare Kare which my husband, James loves

Anything with cheese, Heart2Heart loves 🙂

 Paella!! 

Vargas Kitchen butter cake 

 Vargas Kitchen Brazo de Mercedez!!!  The middle part a bit melting and oozing out…..but still YUMMY!!!

I even asked Lola if I could take home some!! My favorite!

 I call this my best friend’s lunch because…. hmmm…. these two ladies are my best friends? 🙂  We did this maybe 2 or 3 years ago when I took them both to Circles at the Shangri-la….so I was happy that Eds thought about it again!  But I will call this Part 1 since there will be many more parts in this series!!

Eds invited us out to one of her favorite restaurants, Zuni at Greenbelt 5.  We enjoyed very much though we had little time to really chat for long…. I love this and I love my two best friends! Til the next one…

Eds and I while waiting for Rina to arrive, decided that our theme for the lunch will be “HEALTHY” 🙂

So we ordered two salads and a soup to share for appetizer 

Apple Blue Cheese and chicken salad 

Mesclun Salad with Assorted Fruits, Shiitake, Breaded Calamari and Crispy Papadom 

French Onion Soup- maybe not too healthy because of the cheese but Eds’ said it was the BEST so we ordered it 🙂 

Grilled Chicken Breast – Eds’ order 

Healthy choice which came with unhealthy sauces 🙂 Bernaise and Cafe de Paris, both butter based – YUMMY! 🙂

Pan Fried Cream Dory Fillet Coated with Parmesan Cheese – my order obviously because it has cheese 🙂 and I stole some sauces from Eds to add to this dish – Maybe not too healthy because it is fried, but it is fish which is better than beef/meat 

Penne with Chicken and Prawns – Rina’s order 

We never skip dessert and we forget the “HEALTHY” theme 🙂

So many people have been asking me if I had eaten here…finally we went with the whole family!   The place is a bit small only because it is always full!!  I am not a Chinese food expert and I did not eat much that evening but some say it is Hong Kong Chinese food at very very reasonable prices. Most of the restaurants in the area were closed on a saturday – but EAT WELL was open and jam packed! They even had to turn down some walk ins..it was a good thing we reserved and we eat early for dinner

Hong Kong backdrop – so that you feel like you are in Hong Kong 🙂 

Deep Fried Golden Mushroom with Dried Japanese Shrimp- YUMMY! I could munch on this forever! <3 

Masachi WIth Chocolate- we were so full and the place was getting too tight, we decided to take home the dessert we ordered.  WOW!! YUMMY!!  My favorite white chocolate inside melting and coming out!!  Only P 48.00 for 6 pcs!!! Where can you get that nowadays in a Chinese restaurant?

 Thank you very much to Ganga for inviting Heart2Heart over to their family owned restaurant!  

We have eaten in Red Kimono ( Crazy Sushi  July 9, 2008 )  a few times and I was happy to have the chance to visit the place again, and now with even more choices and new dishes.  They even have a vegetarian menu.  I think that you get great value for your money when eating at Red Kimono.  Quality Japanese food at affordable prices!

Ganga and her daughter in law, Nameeta, joined us for lunch.  It was nice to meet them and learn more about their family and their restaurant

I invited my good friends, Ned and Janet to join me so that we could try more dishes 🙂  Thanks guys for accompanying me.  As Ganga confirmed Heart2Heart’s philosophy, food is always good with great company! 

I am definitely coming back to have this buffet with friends!! Imagine P 535 all you can eat japanese food!!  The more the merrier and you can share and try more dishes…so bring the whole gang!!! 

They also have their regular menu if you prefer to go ala carte  

What a wide variety of rolls!! YUMMY!!!
