Highschool Reunion

By | Celebrations | No Comments

We had a reunion with our high school friends from almost 30 years ago!!  We were a big group which consisted of different smaller groups and we would see each other often and some of us almost everyday.  We were so close and some were more than friends ( Uyyy  🙂  ) or at least wanted to be more than friends 🙂  But when we all went our separate ways for college, we did not see each other as a group since then…

Manila’s Best @ Polo

By | Best of, Foodie | No Comments

I remember a few years back, Chef Vicky Clemente was doing a survey.  She asked me what my favourite cakes were.  I figured later on that this was probably the reason she was doing a survey – trying to find out the popular desserts!  When Chef Vicky started as a consultant for the Manila Polo Club, she did many changes to the Food and Beverage department and I am happy to say that they have been effective.  I particularly like the fact that you can get many of the city’s best desserts from the club and not having to pick up in far places.  Far to me is Quezon City, Pasig area or the Alabang area in the South.  This is convenient for the members of the club.  Hoping that maybe someone can do this for the public too 🙂  I am sure many would pay a little more to have the convenience of just picking up their favourite desserts in a location closer to themManila Polo Club's Best Deserts 1manilas best cakes polo clubpolo club cakes best cakes in the metro Manila Polo Club's Best Deserts 2 Manila Polo Club's Best Deserts 3 Manila Polo Club's Best Deserts 4 Manila Polo Club's Best Deserts 5 Manila Polo Club's Best Deserts 6 Manila Polo Club's Best Deserts 7 Manila Polo Club's Best Deserts 8 Manila Polo Club's Best Deserts 9 Manila Polo Club's Best Deserts 10 Manila Polo Club's Best Deserts 11 Manila Polo Club's Best Deserts 12 Manila Polo Club's Best Deserts 13 Manila Polo Club's Best Deserts 14 Manila Polo Club's Best Deserts 15[email_link]
