Since we were there, we had lunch so we could try something different outside Pangulasian. If you are a guest here, the food is already included with the price of your room and it is buffet. The food was very good.

Trying out this App called Booky Manila @bookymanila which I discovered from Rajo
It’s a good resource for restaurants – a directory and a way to search for restaurants – by name or by location. For now I use it as an online directory when people make me their concierge :-O and ask me for restaurant information and it’s so easy and quick and since you don’t need Internet for it to work it searches so fast! Try it it’s free 
The handsome founder 🙂 Ben Wintle
You can also search by area
It’s so fast and easy to search of a restaurant and get all the details. You can even see the menu and get directions to the restaurant
I get alerts on new restaurants as well when following it on instagram

Happy people enjoying three scoops of ice cream each! haha!!
Milk and Cheese for me- okay okay I had two 🙂 I usually can only eat one scoop but I wanted to try the cheese ice cream

So happy to meet Macky Lovina, owner of Fig. A new restaurant that opened 6 months ago in Kalayaan. She told me that she’s into organic and green living and loves food. She is the sister of a friend Marta and cousin to my batchmate Rosanne Prieto and good friend Kai Prieto Moreno. She has a French Chef and 80% of their food is organic. It’s Mediterranean and healthy and yummy according to Juana so I’m looking forward to going back to try the food here at Fig

Previous entry: Malabon Tricycle Tours August 13, 2015
Betsy’s is an institution in Malabon! It’s so old, it’s sign is already faded! 🙂 So I hope you don’t miss it when you go to Malabon
They are known for their birthday cakes. I miss these types of cakes, we hardly see them now in parties. I remember them when I was a kid 🙂
Inside Betsy’s
So happy to finally meet Betsy of Betsy’s Cake Center in Malabon with her daughter Besse. Betsy’s Cake Center was started by Betsy’s mom 40 years ago and was named after her being the youngest and the only daughter. She was known for her cake rolls and cakes and Betsy added more pastries and now the yummy Broas – must be eaten fresh and immediately which is why we know there are no preservatives in her pastries. People want to franchise and are also asking her to open in the city but she said she’s happy and content already
According to Betsy, when her mother started the business, they were known for the rolls
Now Betsy added so many other items and there is a full range of pastries here!
Behind the counter are the staff wearing pink headbands 🙂 My favourite colour 🙂 Spot Mommy Dionisia amongst them 🙂 
Heart2Heart got to know Betsy because of her famous Broas! My friend, Joy Ortega, gave me som and it was history! 🙂
