House with a personalized Touch

By | Homes and Interiors | One Comment
I saw my friends house evolve from the very beginning (December ’06) and what strikes me the most is how they chose every single piece and the way they put things together. They were their own interior decorators and slowly they kept adding more details little by little. There is so much more meaning when the people living in the house put their heart and soul into furnishing their home. It reflects their sense of beauty, style and taste. I am glad they patronized Filipino made items and blended in their purchases from Europe. Looking forward to its continous evolution through the years…… Thanks to Suharto and Rina for always sharing their home with us and making us part of their lives. It is in this house that they host their many friends who cherish their friendship and their kind hospitality.

Foie Gras

By | Yummy! | One Comment

Foie Gras is my MOST FAVORITE DISH in the whole wide world! Since it is VERY expensive and VERY unhealthy, I have to order it only when I feel that it will be another UNIQUE experience. I look for a unique combination of ingredients to bring out the flavor of the Foie Gras.  So far, these are the three foie gras dishes which are worth ordering:

Seared Foie Gras and Barbecued Eel with Braised Daikon and Leek Miso Mustard

OKADA – Wynn Hotel, Las Vegas

Pepato, Greenbelt 2, Manila, Philippines by Gaita Fores

Sjomagasinet by Chef Leif Mannerstrom – Gothenburg, Sweden

I am in constant search for the best and most unique Foie Gras dishes in the world…….

SPCP Batch ’87 Reunion

By | Celebrations | No Comments
It was great seeing my gradeschool batchmates from St. Paul College of Pasig. Though I left for highschool and went to Assumption, they have still included me as part of the SPCP Batch ’87. I loved my gradeschool days- my friends, my school and had lots of memories to treasure. It was nice to see many faces from 24 years ago. Thanks to Eizelle, Pia and Tricia for making this happen.

Restaurant 101

By | Foodie | One Comment
Restaurant 101 has been in operations for over a year now. The restaurant is part of the Hotel and Restaurant management school, Enderun. http://www.enderun.com.ph. We were impressed with Enderun and the quality of the facilities in the school and that such exists in our country. There are already around 300 students. We had a very good impression especially by the students who were all very formal in their suits. It is timing to have such a school in a country where the hotel and restaurant industry is booming. More power to Enderun.

PHOTOS! PHOTOS! PHOTOS!!  I discovered these very interesting items at Rustan’s Gift pavilion.   I particularly like charm bracelets so I was going crazy.  All the other items are also very nice items to store your photos in.  Nice gift too. 
The Gift Pavilion is on the 4th floor of Rustan’s Makati across Home Cafe and beside the elevator.  Look for my friend and sales associate, Jackie.  She will gladly help you pick out all kinds of photo storage items.

Museo Pambata

By | Educare, Giving Back | No Comments

Quinto treated 98 Educare kids to Museo Pambata.( http://www.museopambata.org/index.htm) He celebrated his birthday last May in London but waited to get to Manila to celebrate it here with them. Though the kids were a bit too young to read and appreciate every single exhibit, they surely had a great time just exploring their hands and touching everything. The kids were so excited to get to the next room and to the next. It was JOYFUL chaos and this will definitely be an experience they will cherish for the rest of their lives. Thank you to our dear friends, Suharto, Rina and Quinto for sharing your blessings with the kids. Thanks also to Rina’s mom, Tita Fely for sharing her time and being with us….Nothing is more valuable than giving your time to help others and make them happy.
