One of Ramon’s favorite restaurants! I always say it is the kids favorite, but deep inside, it is also ours!  🙂

Ramon celebrated his birthday with the family at the Power Plant Mall.  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAMON!

Spinach Artichoke Dip – YUMMY!! THE BEST! 

Thai Crunch Salad 

The Original chicken BBQ chopped salad

Bangkok Calamari

Curly Mac and Cheese and Fusili Alfredo – looks the same!  but both YUMMY!   We add more parmesan cheese still even after all the cheese.  Kiddie meal but I get from them too 🙂

YUMMY PIZZA!! A MUST TO ORDER!! Neapolitan pizza – crisp and thin crust!!

We ordered the Sicilian 

 Dessert for the birthday boy

Heart2Heart is so happy that the Last Chukker is finally opened!  And it was perfect because the “Gumamelas”  wanted to get together since Triccie had just arrived from SF.  As usual the first choice of venue is Polo Club where we always meet and where we used to hang out during our highschool days.  So I suggested we go to the Last Chukker as it had just opened.  It was a perfect venue and we all enjoyed the food. Everything was YUMMY!  The ambience is so nice and cozy!!  I could just hang out there all day and make kuwento with the girls!  

I can’t wait to eat there again!!

If you are not a member of Polo Club, make sure you get invited by a friend who is a member 🙂

Outside seating 

Even the uniform of the waiter fits the place 

Vanna was there making sure everything was running smoothly…and everything did go well  

The “Gumamelas” 🙂  missing Tina, Bea and Gillian 

And of course we are in good company

Jones, the equestrian instructor, was there with a friend

and my niece, Ria with her good friends, Tin Tin and Sophie.  Ria told me that they loved the food as well! 

Calamares Fritos 

Croquetas de Jamon 

Wood fired potato wedges – Finally a healthy way of eating potatoes!  It is like french fries but it’s not because it is not fried.  And it is like a baked potato inside.  YUMMY!! The waiter warned us that this would take around 20 minutes, so order this way in advance so you can eat it together with your main.

And I just had to feature the salt and pepper grinder!!  Heart2Heart loves those!!  Good thing Ton asked for it.  She was happily grinding away! 🙂 And of course the ballerina orders a salad.

Mrs O Salad

Chicken Pesto Panini with Arugula – also a WINNER! 

From Ria’s table -Salpicao

Decadent Chocolate Cake – of course they have to have this on the menu

As part of my birthday gift to Mom, I wanted to treat her for brunch since I know her favorite meal is  breakfast and eggs benedict. So last Saturday we went to Mamou and I invited my sister as well.  Malou suggested that we go on a Saturday since Sundays can get crowded.  It was a YUMMY and nice brunch with the “sisters”!  People always mistake us as sisters 🙂

Egg’s Benedict 

Rau’s Platter

Thanks to Mart and Sam for inviting us for dinner.  What an adventure to eat “Dampa” style behind Mall of Asia.  Mart bought so much, we had plenty to eat for 6 people.

Looking forward to our next adventure!!

STEP 1:  Choose/Buy your seafood 

Step 2:  Pick a Restaurant 

Step 3:  Choose how you would like to cook your seafood 

Step 4:  Eat!  Eat!! and ENJOY!  🙂 

Some mime characters entertaining the diners and the passers by

Some tips:

1.)  When shopping for your seafood, be careful not to point!  Once you point, they will put the item right away in the bag! Rhett ended up buying Salmon when he was just asking how much it was 🙂

2.)  When you have chosen the restaurant, Stay outdoors since it is not as crowded as being inside the restaurant.  It won’t be as hot during the evenings so it is more pleasant being outside than inside squeezing with everybody else

3.)  Choice of cooking/”paluto” – Sam suggested that:

a.)  grilled or steamed is the best ( and the healthiest ) way of cooking

b.)  having it buttered or with cheese may not be good because they use margarine as butter and the cheese is just quick melt type so it might not be good.  Rhett’s salmon was buttered and we ended up not eating it, the margarine smell was very strong 

4.)  Tip from Edward – Choose a restaurant with plenty people – that means it is good.  To me, it looked like all the restaurants were full!  🙂
