She’s so much fun to be with, she loves to eat … And drink 🙂  She came for the funeral mass of Dad together with all her children, our cousins, from Cebu. Aunty Marivic used to be active in many sports especially golf til she had spine problems. But before that she could not sit still as she was always playing some sport. Despite her injury she is looking great!   Her skin is beautiful and she even gave me tips on how to take care of my skin from swimming. She’s so brave – she told me she likes living alone in her house and sleeping in her room alone :-O   I would be scared

When she comes to Manila she likes buying her South Sea Pearls and her last visit here it took her 8 hours to complete her necklace where the size of the pearls have to be a certain size. Love her heart pendant which she added to her necklace. She joined all of us cousins during their 2 nights in Manila and we told her that she’s now our Mom 🙂  #H2HPeopleDonosti with the Cebuano Cousins (13) Donosti with the Cebuano Cousins (5) donosti-12.jpegCoulant de ChocolateDonosti with the Cebuano Cousins (14)Tarta de Santiago

Sunnie’s Cafe

By | Foodie | No Comments

 We tried out the latest food concept of the FoodDee Global Concepts Group

Sunnies cafe facebook cover photo

What an amazing family business, that only goes to show that it is headed by a good leader, The father, Ricky Dee @beng_dee They were having lunch with a mall group and the whole family was there. Their personal attention to detail and hands on approach in the operations is admirable. Eric told me that his dad calls all of them every day to make sure they are at work and that they are on top of the business. It’s a business Ricky started 30 years ago with a restaurant in Pasay road. Truly a business from hard work. The group is opening 16 restos for the year – 3 Mesas, 3 Tim Ho Wans, 3 Pound by Todd English by December -Mega Fashion Hall, Glorietta and MOA, Hook, English, Davide Oldani , 2 Sunnies, 2 Llao Llao.
All of the kids are in the business except the youngest Bea who is still in College. Eric, the eldest, handles the restaurants because he’s the foodie in the family. He helped in the restaurant when he was still a kid and grew up in the business.
JR handles the retail side which is Sunnies and 4 malls Binan Laguna Dasmariñas Cavite, Binangonan rizal and Calamba Laguna, near Nuvali
Erika @erikadydee handles the Finance and Fastfood side where they have 88 food stalls – Chins Express, Inihaw Express and Handaan Grande and 1 food court in Globe Tower. Eric says that his Dad knows their strengths and that’s how he assigns their responsibilities. A close knit family that works together harmoniously and is successful. That’s rare nowadays. More power to the FoodDee Global Concepts group @foodeeglobalconcepts #SunniesCafe #FooddeeGlobalConceptsSunnie's Cafe (1)  Whenever I meet up with Eric @ericthomasdee , I am overwhelmed and get confused haha!!   Because He’s so passionate, so energetic and so excited all the time – whether cooking up a new concept, opening a new location or just excited with the growing group! He’s only 32 years old and successful at what he does. This time we were at Sunnies Cafe @sunniescafe  This is their 9th restaurant concept already and counting.
