Spanish Dinner

By Heart2Heart | Celebrations, Foodie, Household Tips | No Comments

We had a beautiful Spanish dinner at a friends also beautiful home!

Though curtains are known to collect dust and hard to maintain, I still love the effect of curtains in a home. It gives that cozy feeling.

They had beautiful Soumak curtains which are proudly Philippine made!

Our special guests from Thailand. They requested for Spanish food because it’s rare in Thailand and they enjoyed Spanish food during their visit to Spain

Prasong

Chananya

and their pretty daughters Phantila and Sariya

The cocktails were all so well presented and of course tasted so good

Jamon

Boquerones with olives. Notice the white gloves 🙂

Love the staff uniform which is not off the rack but specially made

Tortilla de patata

Bread with olives

Croquettas de pollo

Beautiful dining room!

Elegant flowers and table setting. I love the personalised ceramic dinnerware which is from Italy and has the initials of the owner

Under the embroidered Filipiniana table linen is a liner which is non slip. It serves as a non slip pad at the same time as a protection so the table is not scratched when the plate is placed on the table. This was sourced from Spain

Everything is proper in this household. All silverware are engraved with their initials

Our buffet

Mediterranean Fish Fillet

Chicken with mushroom

We contributed as well homemade bacalao which is cooked by my Mom’s cook, Manang Flor. It is a family favourite. We like it because it has potatoes and queso de bola cheese on top

Desserts!

Homemade turtle pie by our host! YUM!!!

Oh My Gulay Baguio

By Heart2Heart | Arts and Culture, Foodie, Proud to be Pinoy!, Travel | No Comments

My friend, Ginge, told me about this place Oh My Gulay 🙂 We rarely eat out in Baguio and usually stay home so we have little time to really eat out. So I went to the place just to take a look at it! It’s this green building across ( La Azotea building 108 Session road ) the Starbucks in Session road. Good thing the others went to Starbucks so i took advantage and crossed the street to check it out

There’s no elevator in the building so you have to climb up to the penthouse 🙂

You see the entrance from the floor before, 4th floor

Aside from the vegetarian cafe, it is also a venue to house arts and talents from the Cordilleras

Entrance- I thought I was entering a Disneyland ride 🙂

There’s a small side entrance which has a stairway to go up to the cafe seating

There are many areas for seating – up, down, balcony, under 🙂 Very nice place 🙂

The menu 🙂 Vegetarian. We must come back one day to try

Binulo Restaurant Clark

By Heart2Heart | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

We went to Clark and of course I always take a detour to try something in the area we are visiting 🙂 My friend, Timmy recommended this place so I went to check it out

SOP for me when ordering is to ask the waiter what is the bestseller and I like ordering the bestseller 🙂 He said kare kare but then I don’t eat kare kare so I asked him what was the second bestseller, he said sisig! Done! 🙂 YUM! I was alone so I could only order one dish in fact I even asked if I could have half an order 🙂 I wish we were more so I could try more dishes. Hoping to return one day 😉
