This place was ecommended by our brother Quito and Gil and Christine. After a heavy breakfast at Discovery Shores, we decided to have a late and light lunch
sorry about the soup page
We had the Mañana Combination. YUMMY! I guess when you are only two, you don’t get to try many dishes. That is when I miss my big family of 18 where we order and order and share and share 🙂
Benjo told us to go here last November but we did not have time. But this trip, we made sure we went. Thanks also to Gil and Christine for telling us about it. We love it!!
For those who have not been here yet, be careful not to miss it, it is inside the street and not on the beach front strip
The owner, Lee, was there with her two dogs. Lee is half Italian and half American
I love that the place is so native!! So Filipino!
I like the kitchen, it is just a simple set up and it looks just like a home kitchen
Oh my gosh! oh my gosh!! Freshly baked calamansi muffins just came out of the oven when we arrived!!! WOW!! This is what they are famous for. You can also take home in boxes of 6, 9 and 12. We did not get anymore because we were overweight already 🙂 besides, it is best to eat it there and have the whole experience!
Love the menu!!
We asked for their best seller breakfast and the girl said the Jacks Omelette – but since we found 3 eggs too much even to share, we got the Jack A Lean. LOVED IT!!!!!! We never had an omelette with pesto. Make sure to try it with PESTO! I thought I would not like it since I am not a big fan of tuna, but this omelette was really good!
It went so well with that DELICIOUS TOAST on the side spread with mango jam!! YUMMY!!!
Look at the filling oozing out of the omelette!!
Real Coffee
and of course we had to have the calamansi muffin
This is how we ate it- we rip the outer shell of the muffin because it is toasted and crunchy! 🙂
Definitely we will be back to try the others!

Last month, we finally tried out Fez. Mom and I have been eyeing it as we wanted to try Morroccan food in Manila. A very nice and cozy place. We were a group of 12 and we filled up half the restaurant 🙂 We were surprised to find out that there was no couscous, no chicken tangine and all the Morrocan food that we enjoy. But nevertheless, the food was good, everyone seemed to enjoy the kebabs, the appetizers and the curry dishes were popular
Pizza Pita
Fez Nachos
Herbed Potato wedges
Fez Meatballs
Fez Fish with Cheese Sauce
Beef Salpicao
Shrimp Curry
Bolognese
Chicken Curry
Spicy Calamari

Thanks to Ginge for arranging a lunch for Rina! Ginge always introduces us to good Filipino homemade dishes and restaurants.

She brought us to Recipes which has been opened for a long time already but this is my first time and I LOVED IT!!! Of course aside from the food, we can never get enough of the stories and great company of Ginge! We hardly see her but when we do, she has plenty to tell! We enjoy so much and love her! 🙂 Thanks to my bestfriend Rina for introducing me to her
We were so happy that Doc Arnold stopped by to say hello! Doc is really the friend of Rina since College in Ateneo. He took care of her as she was new from the province…always like a big brother. So, we love Arnold too! 🙂

Catfish-Mango Salad
Crispy Tilapia
General’s Chicken! This is my favorite in the Chinese restaurants in New York! I was so happy they had something similar in Chateau 1771 ( Sept. 2, 2008 ) called Lemon Chicken and now here they have it in Recipes!!
Gising Gising!! I love this too! I do not normally eat string beans but this dish was really good!
I love everything we had!! 🙂

Two weeks ago we tried Elbert’s Cheesesteak at Power Plant Mall. Many people were already calling me asking me about it and many have tried it already before Heart2Heart so I know this is delayed already for many. So for those who have not tried it yet, come on over and try them!! YUMMY!!! More power to you Elbert!!!!
Of course Elbert was there! At the same time we were there, someone had ordered 75 sandwiches for take out so they were really busy!
A very simple menu. I hope that next time we can create our own cheesesteak and choose our fillings. I will definitely have a four cheese with lots of onions! 🙂
Filling up the 75 orders of sandwiches
American Cheesesteak
Our order! Each one is marked since we tried 3 different kinds
Provolone Cheesesteak
American Cheesesteak
Pizza Cheesesteak
French fries was not yet on the menu but Elbert made us try some

My sister invited us out this time for an afternoon with Mom. We decided to make it a regular thing to spend time with the girls. We watched a nice movie at Power Plant Mall. We cried and loved the movie…
and then we had merienda at Astralis. Since it is mom’s recent favorite, my sister chose that place.
We got excited when we saw this sign on the table…
They did not have the buffet at the time we were there, but they gave us a sample to try 🙂 They served us the FRENCH raclette…. it was good but we prefer the SWISS kind which is not as strong as the French raclette
Though we each ordered our own dishes, we still shared everything
Yup! This is my dish! 🙂 Pan seared Foie Gras on Kirsch apple quarters and plums
Our GM’s favorite Salad – Apparently is Mom’s favorite salad too, so this is Mom’s order
Baked Oysters Three Ways – this is my sister’s order, she loves oysters!
This is a new discovery for us. Our eldest brother told us to order this! He knew it was our type because Mom serves us something like this. Our brother was right! We loved it!! It is a Japanese type of pasta! We highly recommend this if you like cod roe
Sato-San’s Japanese Mentaiko Spaghetti – spicy cod roe, nori on cream sauce
Oh my gosh! This dessert is a must! They recommended this to us!
Chocolate Truffle with Lemon Curd and Peanut Ice Cream!!!! The chocolate truffle cake is so yummy!!!!
