By | Foodie | No Comments

Because of these lovely ladies who dined all the way in Marikina in Bellini’s and each one took home one after their lunch

I got to taste the Orange cake!  🙂  Our sister, Dina, brought home a whole cake and we tried it

Breakfast at Chelsea Grand Cafe

By | Celebrations, Foodie | No Comments

There are just some things in life that you want to bring back but because of time and circumstance, things change.   Even friends change.  Reminiscing back to my high school days when I was new at Assumption San Lorenzo and there were three friends who welcomed me immediately and made me feel at home – Tinette Lanuza dela Vega, Peachy Zulueta Maxwald,  and Eds Genuino.  We were classmates and we were together every single day, talking on the phone every single day and were the best of friends.  Many years later, we find ourselves in different worlds and I am happy that today I am reunited with two of the three.  Peachy who now lives in Switzerland is here for the summer and Eds who is still my best friend till now.  And I love Peachy booboo who I now pressure like when we were in high school and I would go to her house everyday after school. 

We had breakfast at Chelsea Grand Cafe . Loved the bread plate 🙂

Love the chic nut that comes with the coffee

Homemade Skinless Vigan Longganisa

US Tapa Salpicao

The Classic Egg Benedict – one egg slipped down 🙂

Snickers Pie

Today, James, joined our breakfast reunion because he wanted to have breakfast 🙂  but one day  Tinette who now lives in Los Angeles will hopefully be with us and we will reunite 🙂

Lunch in the office by Chef Booj of Gourmet Garage

By | Foodie | No Comments

I would not mind staying in the office the whole day as long as they will serve me like this 🙂  Thank you to Brenda and Corie for preparing this lunch!  It was funny to see a dining table in the middle of an empty office 🙂  But soon to be renovated and designed by my sister in law.  Coming soon 🙂  Thank you also to Chef Booj for a wonderful lunch!!!  Chef Booj knows I like small portions and I always tell him to have degustations this way – you get to try more things and yet not get too full

Your All Time Favorite Cakes for the Last Time at the Mandarin Deli

By | Celebrations, Foodie | No Comments

I like the fact that the Mandarin Oriental Hotel celebrated the closing of their hotel.  Normally when something closes, they just close quietly and then everyone will be wondering and speculating why it closed etc etc.  In this instance, it was done so well!  There was a proper announcement made to the public, the hotel celebrated with their loyal clients and they were able to dine in all the restaurants before they closed and they brought back MeMOries and made people feel sentimental and we all ended on a good note with good memories 🙂  

During some of the events, I was hearing about the Signature L’Hirondelle cake and a few days ago I was blessed to see how this cake looks like and wow, what a work of art!!!!  It’s so beautiful!!!

I did not want to slice it!! 🙂  But I could not help it too because I wanted to try it!!! Delicious 🙂

 Apparently they are offering the yesteryear cakes until August 17.  So a  few days after I visited the Mandarin Deli to see how the other yesteryear cakes looked like! 

The L’ Hirondelle cake was sold out that morning and I got to see the mini version 🙂  How cute.  I suggest you call in advance and make your orders to be assured of getting your cakes

Everything looks so pretty!!! Sacher torte
