we walked across the street and went to Neil’s Kitchen as suggested by Trina
Just from the outside, I knew this was my type of place!!!!
LOVE! SUPER LOVE!!!
The scooter here in front is really a scooter used by the owner’s daughter when she was younger! I love the touches around the restaurant
LOVE THIS!!! I love everything so I should stop saying I LOVE! 🙂
So happy to meet Neil Ramos. Owner and chef of Neil’s Kitchen. He is a self taught chef. He had a Bakery and Catering business in 1994 but left for the states in 2006 for two years and came back in 2009 and continued his catering business. Last December he opened Neil’s Kitchen in Westgate. His two daughters are both in the States studying Culinary – I featured one of his daughters before who used to bake cookies and sold them when she was here.

Before checking out, we took home some goodies from the pastry shop of Bellevue Manila

This is one of the things we bought. The chocolate croissant 🙂 The hubby likes chocolate croissant so we are trying all the chocolate croissants in the country! 🙂 This is unique because it is covered with chocolate aside from it having chocolate inside
Ate half as is and half I microwaved for a few seconds so the chocolate would melt. Very good 🙂 The secret would be to eat it right away freshly baked and right after the chocolate is poured so the croissant would still be crunchy and flaky. So since we took it home, the croissant was a bit chewy already. But my choco croissant loving husband said it was good 🙂
Heart ensaymada cake 🙂
Heart again 🙂
A new Japanese recently opened in Bellevue Manila – Hatsune
We were invited by our friend, Jane Go for her birthday 🙂 Happy Birthday to one of the sweetest and nicest lady – who is always and forever smiling and brings that smile to others 🙂

Thank you to our wonderful hosts – Mother Butler Lucille and Erie Calubaquib. It’s a good thing this was planned at the same time I was going to be in the area. But nevertheless we would trek all the way to the South for Lucille’s cooking anytime 🙂
She is our Mom! She is always guiding us and leading us. She is the one always organising and bringing us together. She cooked everything from scratch! And here she is leading the prayer before meals
I brought these fortune cookies and gold Burberry ampao envelopes and put some candy and chocolates for the ladies – not money! haha 
Lucille wanted to serve us steak but since it was Friday, she refused to serve it even if we told her we would pray the rosary after or do another sacrifice. haha!! She is so strict!:-) Though the lunch was so good it was not really a sacrifice
Japanese Kani Salad which was taught to Lucille by one of the BFFs, Des, who could not join us that day. It was so delicious!
Vongole- YUM!
Mussels with cheese and garlic
Prawns Thermidor
Mango Sticky rice cooked in panda water so it was pandan sticky rice and she sprinkled dark chocolate
Good thing we have names for groups because I have several. This group is called the BFFs – Beautiful Friends Forever. Lucille Calubaquib, Dette De Leon, Brenda Consengco, Luzanne Manlapit and I. Missing one BFF who could not make it- Des Torres
