Shanghai Dumpling Shop

By Heart2Heart | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

On our last night, Pepe took us out for dinner! Thanks Pepe!

He knows we like Xiao Long Bao so he took us to the Shanghai Dumpling Shop in Millbrae

The place was packed so we had to wait awhile

The BBFFs were able to join us because their flight was delayed so we were happy! Here they are making a HEART for Heart2Heart 🙂 Anette had already gone so we missed her that evening

They have many things which are all matching, this is their latest 🙂

Xiao Long Bao!!!

Tinky and Arianna join us after awhile

One of their specialties, Soy braised Pork Rump – Recommended as well by Pepe!

So nice to have Marlu to always take the lead and take care of serving us 🙂

Medical Shopping

By Heart2Heart | Health and Fitness, Shopping, Travel | No Comments

In the States, you can find anything and everything! This trip, James, Dina and I went around shopping for things for Dad.

First stop was this place which Isa recommended

They have all kinds of things to aid the elderly. Amazing!

Then we went to Sleep Train which specializes in mattresses

We were looking at beds that can go up and down like a hospital bed 🙂

We love Stearns and Foster, the one who makes the mattresses for the Four Seasons Hotel

Previous entry: Mattress from the Four Seasons Hotel January 6, 2012

In the States there are so many choices to make. I don’t know if that is good or it just complicates our purchase 🙂

Next stop Lazboy 🙂

Our salesman 🙂

We got this lazboy because it lifts so it is easier to get up!

And then we went to check out wheelchairs 🙂 Believe me when I say they have everything!

This was a place just selling wheelchairs- ALL KINDS!

The owner of the place 🙂 He told us they can customize any kind of wheelchair – the size, the kind, the color – you name it. He even said there is a wheelchair that costs US$ 20,000!

They can even do this for your car!

King of Thai Noodle House San Francisco

By Heart2Heart | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

We went to the city to check out a store and we were so hungry – it was around 3pm and we had not eaten our lunch yet coming from Danville. We parked the car and we saw this place! It was jam packed for 3pm. More people kept coming in

We enjoyed the thai food that we had – this curry was squash based instead of coconut based

Pad Thai the way I like it

Danville Concours d’Elegance

By Heart2Heart | Toys for the Big Boys, Travel | One Comment

James asked me to accompany him to a car show in Danville. We drove about an hour away from San Mateo. I love the small town of Danville!

Just in the parking lot, there were already many nice cars parked

Entrance to the show, they closed the street for the event

How nice! It was a fund raiser for Team Fox!

It’s nice because in the street are nice coffee shops and quaint vintage stores! I was so worried I would get bored, but I enjoyed it and wished we had more time to hang around

STARBUCKS!!! 🙂

Cute dogs dressed up for the event 🙂

Visiting Triccie and Dinner at the Fish Market

By Heart2Heart | Foodie, Travel, Velada 2012 | 2 Comments

In the West coast, I’m always so happy I get to visit my good friend, Triccie!!! I invite myself over to her house and I want to see if she changed her home since I was last there

Previous entry: Ernie and Triccie in SF April 22, 2007

The house is the same with a newly renovated kitchen and they have a new child, Fayth! 🙂 Here is Ernie with Fayth

Fayth’s home

And the two girls have grown up so fast!!!! Sara and Karina!

And you can tell who the artista is among the two 🙂 And she told me she takes after her mom! Hmmm… haha!!

And Triccie and I go through her old albums and here are some photos!!!

This is my good friend Triccie! I remember we used to see each other everyday- either she goes to my house or I go to hers. Then we would go out together during the weekends and even double dated several times 🙂

And we used to take many “baduy” photos of the two of us 🙂

Take note of the hairstyle 🙂

Our bigger group in Assumption!I miss those days! We would get together very often

And Triccie is back home with us to join us celebrate our Velada!!!!

Ernie and Triccie serve us cocktails

And then they take us out for dinner at the Fish Market in San Mateo!

Looking forward to spending more time with Ernie in Triccie!!

Triccie took me here because she knows I love cheese and she ordered the cheesesticks for me which they are very known for. Super Yum! I could just eat this!

You can have it with crab

Calamares

crab cakes

Ernie’s fish dish

Triccie’s order- oysters

China Bistro San Mateo

By Heart2Heart | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

There are so many restaurants in 3rd and 4th Avenue in San Mateo! Since we are not so familiar yet with the area, we just drive down and see what catches our attention and then we just try 🙂

This one caught the attention of James since it was very bright and it was a new restaurant. So we went to try it

A bit groovy 🙂

Happy to spend time with our sister, Dina. Happy she loves to eat like us 🙂

Happy that the BBFFs are in town!!! Anette, Marlu and Dina!

The boys – James and Pepe- who take care of us

The BBFFs want a photo with Pepe 🙂

Looks yummy!

Hmmm….

Marlu, our boss 🙂 orchestrating our menu for the evening

We had the very basic Chinese menu 🙂 And it was really good!!!

Dina told them to separate the sauce from the crispy noodles 🙂

This was a vegetable dish recommended by the waiter – He just said Tofu with vegetables – so we don’t know the dish name – but it was really good! That tofu was so yummy!!
