Happy Birthday Bambi!

By | Celebrations, Foodie | One Comment

Another Schiller reunion( London Group Reunion July 28, 2009)  hosted this time by Bambi, fianceé of Alexis.  Alexis was our schoolmate in London and we were so happy to reconnect with him through Bambi.  We were surprised to find out that Alexis is now a successful lawyer in Ilo Ilo.  

They will soon be married next year!

Since we heard Bambi and Alexis love to cook, we asked them to cook for us!!  Apparently it was Bambi’s birthday as well! Happy Birthday Bambi!!

Looks like it was only Bambi doing all the cooking…we made the birthday celebrant cook!  Everything was homemade until the dessert.  Thank you Bambi for preparing for us and sharing your culinary talent with us.  Everything was very good!!!

Hmmm….Alexis still owes us one 🙂 Maybe we can have homemade food cooked in Ilo Ilo?  🙂

NYFD’s Diner

By | Foodie, Great Achievements | 4 Comments

Thanks Dexter for inviting us over to your diner!! We enjoyed very much!

We admire you for your vision and determination in starting your own business and looking forward to seeing it come through to even greater heights!  More power to you!

NYFD has almost 40 franchised carts, 6 Premiere outlets and now a diner concept.  I mentioned to Dexter to open his diner concept in other locations so more families can enjoy his food.  He said he is still experimenting and perfecting the concept before he expands.  Dexter told me that this business is his baby which he started 6 years ago.  Dexter is a food lover, loves cooking and also likes creating dishes which he sometimes adds to his menu.

Pancake House, Binondo

By | Foodie | One Comment

I treated my friends, Suharto and Rina in the Pancake House of my Mom in Binondo!  We are hardly in the area so since we were there, I made sure I took them there.  

This is what we had……

We most especially liked their specials!!! 

p1100935.jpgp1100959.JPG

We could definitely not resist this!!!  The cream cheese in between the pancakes tempted me to try this and we all loved it.  I just had them not put the orange sauce and I had them bring me the regular pancake syrup!  YUMMY!!!

Lusso

By | Foodie | 11 Comments

 I dragged my bestfriend Rina to come with me to Lusso so we could try it!   I heard about the foie gras burger from my niece, Ria and she told me everyone is taking about it! Although I would have not minded more foie gras inside the burger 🙂  

Thanks Gaita for always serving the best cuisine for us to appreciate and enjoy
