Make sure to pass by Bistro Ikea even to just get a snack! Only because you just have to have your cheapest meal in Hong Kong! Maybe not even in Manila you can have snacks as cheap as this……and it is YUMMY!! Definitely VALUE FOR MONEY!
A snack for HK$ 7.00 – hotdog and soft serve! and it was YUMMY!!

Thanks to our friend Mykie who introduced us to this restaurant many years ago. From that time on, we have been going here, most especially Dad and Mom. It is Japanese French fusion. Anything Japanese, my parents love… Dad of course is excited to introduce us to another friend of his in Hong Kong, the Chef of San San Trois. We only go on special occasions….and that is when we are in Hong Kong and only because dad and mom are treating 🙂
Dad just reserves with his friend, Ono, the Chef and owner, and Chef Ono prepares a set meal.
We just sit and eat, exact names of dishes we do not know
Wagyu Sashimi
Assorted Sushi and Sashimi
Onion soup
Burger with Foie Gras inside!!!!!
Truffle pasta!!
With Chef Ono and Thomas who is also partners with Chef Ono and owns and manages the restaurant as managing director.
It is in the same building as Victoria’s Seafood.

The big sign outside Windsor House was so tempting, I just had to try it.
I went for breakfast…
I tried Breakfast Set meal # 2 Teriyaki Spam Burger HK$22.00 inclusive of a drink- choice of tea, coffee or soda – I wanted to try their organic coffee. The spam was a spam and with fried egg….removed the shredded lettuce/cabbage ( not sure what it is )………need to try the other burgers next time. Reminds me a bit of Sango…..Afterall, it is a Japanese concept.

One of the family’s favorites in Hong Kong. They are known for fresh seafoods. And we love their Xiao long bao. We just arrived in HK and Dad and Mom took us here. Dad introduced us to one of his HK friends, Eddie, the waiter, whom I forgot to take a photo of. Dad kept reminding me to take his photo, I guess i was too busy eating!! 🙂
Crispy small fish appetizer which Javier liked so much, Eddie gave him one doggie bag to bring home filled with this
Xiao Long Bao, they sometimes have Shanghai crab as the filling when it is in season and it is really special. This is one of the best we have tried after Joe Shanghai’s in New York!
Fresh “pitik pitik” ( we do not know the name in English ) still alive- being shown to us in a pail
then cooked…. really very FRESH and very sweet!
Eddie teaching us how to open and cut it… Cut the sides on both ends…
then split it open….
And Wow!! This was really good!!! It was swimming in this sauce which i think has the aligui from the crab….
Noodles made with the yellow sauce from the crab dish

I have not been to Sango for quite some time now and was happy to take my Mom to try it. They have many new items on the menu and they have a new branch in Ortigas ( Pearl Plaza Pearl Drive ) already for those in that area, now is your chance to try it.
This is Heart2Heart’s favorite at Sango! Master Cheeseburger!! Apparently it is also the bestseller of Sango.
I still need to try this giant version which has double cheese and double burger!
Favorite dessert: like a soft serve ice cream ( vanilla ) with cornflakes
They DELIVER!!!!
FINALLY!!!! After 3 failed attempts to have dinner with the group, we finally got to have dinner together.
Newts and Michelle chose our dinner venue…something new and different. Though maybe we will not go all the way back there to have another meal, we enjoy trying and seeing new places and concepts. Whenever my family and friends ask where to go to eat, my suggestion is always ” anywhere, as long as it is something new that we have not tried yet.” There are so many places to go to..and many restaurants to try…
Bulan, which means “moon” in several languages, is owned by Marlene Aguilar, sister of Freddie Aguilar.
She publishes books and she owns Bulan which is a restaurant and a furniture store.
She rented the house from the owners of Jo Liza in Little Baguio, San Juan. All the paintings, furniture, decors, tables, chairs are for sale.
The restroom:
Though the interiors are Asian inspired, the food is European. I particularly liked the Paulie’s steak which was steak with gorgonzola cheese and the pasta with three kinds of mushrooms, Crystal’s Flambe that I ordered. Portions are small for most but perfect for me:
There is a second floor where there are more items for sale. You can also have a private affair in the second floor.
The bathroom on the 2nd floor:
Beautiful antique chafing dishes from India which are for sale at P 50,000 each:

Thank you Lolo for inviting us to have dinner with you…not only did we enjoy your company…. but we also love Thai food!
Tita Tess, sarap this dessert!!! Glad you ordered it. Remember that you need to order this in the beginning of the meal because it takes time to prepare.

We had one of our family dinners last year at Zao. Food is okay, portions a bit small. Popular dishes were the caramelized prawns, pomelo salad, barbeque and grilled beef tenderloin.

We ate in Ilustrado last January as we were preparing for our tour with Carlos Celdran. Father Galende of San Agustin Church says it is still the BEST restaurant in the area. I would also recommend the place of my friend, Suzette Montinola, La Cocina de Tia Moning. 
They had a cafe downstairs which had a different menu, so they let us order from both menus.
