Category Archives: Hearty Deals

I was so happy to hear that Janine Taylor who I met recently in Cebu, is now at the Intercontinental Manila!  Janine studied in Switzerland and she told me she is very meticulous and strict about everything.  She knows immediately when something is not right by just one look – whether it be the linens that are not ironed properly or the food that is not served right 

They have a new promotion now at The Intercontinental called Resto Go Round

You get a great deal for P 1,800.00 which normally is the cost of only the Prime Rib from Prince Albert

You start out at Gambrinus which opens at 6pm and you get an appetizer platter

(Note:  Drinks are not included in the price )

You have to give your stub to the waiter for you to claim each meal from each restaurant so we tore off the Gambrinus coupon

Take your time and then you walk next door to Prince Albert.  This place brings back so many memories when we were kids.  We were always here – this was our favorite restaurant back then so it was nice to be back

I could not believe it but Francis, the maitre d of many years back is still there and looking very young!  Even younger than he was back then! 🙂  I told him.  Francis sends his regards to my Dad who he loves and remembers always.  Since my Dad is a regular reader of Heart2Heart I promised Francis I would send his regards and he also sent a message for Dad to come back and visit 🙂  

We celebrated many special occasions in this private room

Prince Albert is also known for their Ceasar salad and they were one of the first ones to do on the spot Ceasar salad

Now time for our Prime rib which Francis is confident to say that it is still the best in the country 🙂

Since 1969 they have been serving Prime rib and this oven has been the same oven since back them – this is older than me by one year only so 44 years old!  WOW!!!

Yorkshire pudding made by a real Scottish Chef in the hotel and baked potato

James wanted the end cap of the rib so this was one of the ends

Mustard for those who preferred to have it

After that heavy meal 🙂  you can exercise and walk off a few calories and go to Jeepney Bar for the dessert buffet!

I focused on the one and only dessert that I love since way back then – their famous crepes samurai! Yum!! Behind that were fresh mangoes so I added more mangoes!!
