Baguettini by Ava Diaz Daza

By | Yummy! | 2 Comments

Gloria was telling me over dinner that her daughter, Ava, has been making over 200 sandwiches in her kitchen for about a month now!  She started this just through instagram and just to show you how fast news spreads, she has been busy!  I wanted to try it so I asked Gloria if I could visit Ava and I came over  

The kitchen where Baguettini is made 🙂  

 The Baguettini team 🙂  Ava told me that the fillings of her sandwiches are family recipes which she developed to make her Baguettinis 

One of the secrets of her sandwiches is the bread – the mini baguette which is delivered fresh daily 

Cups all labelled to put the sauces 

I bought two to try – of course the Four Cheese and the Lechon kawali, so Ava toasted them

and served them with different sauces! YUM!!!!!!  She asked me what my favorite sauce was, I said all!  I love mixing them all!  

The Four cheese went very well with the Truffle Honey which is suggested by Ava

Isn’t she lovely?  🙂  Such a pretty, nice, respectful and pleasant young lady.  Ava told me that she started this business during the summer because she wanted to make some money.  And now she is so busy making lots of money 🙂  She is the one who takes all the orders via text!

Hurry and taste what’s cooking in Ava’s kitchen and support her business venture!!

Mom’s Adobo

By | Travel, Yummy! | No Comments

As I was trying to be a good mom to my kids for a week during our vacation, staying in a house without any household staff, I realised that it is a very very tough job!  And just when I needed help, my Mom arrives!!!! What a relief!! I was not the only one happy, but the kids were crying with joy! haha!!  As soon as Mom arrived, we all went to the supermarket and one of the recipes Mom/Lola always cooks for us when we are travelling is adobo!    

She knows that we will all get hungry at some point and if there is adobo – it’s easy to heat and eat!   You can keep it and it tastes better as it gets older and we all love her adobo which she learned from her mom! 

YUMMY!!!

Cheesy Garlic Bread

By | Cheese, Recipes, Travel, Yummy! | No Comments

Heart2Heart was so happy to be back at the Fish Market to have the BEST Cheesy Garlic Bread!!

Previous entry:  Visiting Triccie and Dinner at the Fish Market October 18, 2013

You can order just the spread and take it home and make your own.  Too bad it is not bottled so I can bring it back all the way home to the Philippines

We went on a Wednesday so we did not get US$ 1 oysters but we still ordered some.  Every Monday and Tuesday they have $1.00 oysters

Clam Chowder

Lobster Ciopino

Found some recipes online. I have not tried the recipe but I wanted to check the ingredients.  I knew it, I tasted some mayonnaise on it – which is one reason probably why it’s so so good!!

Fresh Berries

By | Yummy! | 2 Comments

Heart2Heart loves fresh berries!!!  That is the first thing in the grocery cart whenever in the USA! Berries are everywhere and are so cheap compared to the luxury that it becomes when it arrives in the Philippines to almost triple the price.  So I take advantage!

It was on Buy one take one at safeway!

Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream

By | Travel, Yummy! | No Comments

The eating was not yet over for that Sunday in the City!  The GOURMET son was not yet satisfied with his ice cream and he had to go to the place which he researched – he read about the foie gras ice cream! 🙂

So we drove to one more stop before going back home and we went to Humphry Slocombe.  There was a line but not a long one.  I think it is also the location – it was not in a commercial area unlike Bi Rite

Very gourmet indeed and very non traditional – I love non traditional!

One of their best sellers – they change their flavors daily but there are flavors that are there everyday because they are really sought after like SECRET BREAKFAST!  Jaime ordered that one and really liked it.  What a unique flavor and very refreshing though it has liquor, So not too much 🙂

Bi Rite Homemade Ice Cream

By | Travel, Yummy! | No Comments

The eating was not yet over!  Right outside Namu Gaji

Previous entry:  Namu Gaji July 5, 2013

We saw this long line of people waiting to get their ice cream!  So we decided to have dessert here! 🙂  

We had to line up too for maybe around 15 minutes.  The line was never ending from the time we entered to have our dinner til after we had gotten our ice cream 

Finally we reached the counter, we did some tasting 🙂  

We just shared one cup 🙂  Malted Vanilla with Peanut butter and milk chocolate!

You can also take home pints and quarts

Next door there was soft serve and bakery but for some reason there was no line and no one was really buying

I think it is because they only have one flavor offering while at the other side there are a variety of flavors to choose from
