Wildflour at Salcedo Village

The girls were planning a get together so we thought of the new Wildflour branch in Salcedo Village

\

I spotted this area in the corner, LOVE IT! 🙂

It’s like a private room but it’s actually in front of the kitchen so you will see everyone busy serving orders

And here we are 🙂 Half of the Gumamelas having a prelude to our bigger reunion 🙂 I miss our high school days!! We were inseparable back then, and nowadays we hardly see each other!! That must change!! 🙂 Enjoyed catching up with them – Maritoni Rufino Tordesillas, Bambee Bartolome Tambunting and Laura Lim Rodrigo

Chips and Dip

Arugula Salad YUM!

Tuna Melt Sandwich

Crispy potatoes

Pulled Pork Burger Super Yum! We had it cut into three already so this is not the actual presentation

It comes with this

125 Leviste street, Salecdo Village, Makati Tel # 808 7072

Sansrival by Mika

By Heart2Heart | Yummy! | No Comments

I saw this mocha sans rival from my friend, Julia! I am always on the lookout for new finds to try 🙂 and different variations of food. I purposely took this angle because the corner slice are the best!…. it has the most icing 🙂 Heart2Heart loves mocha anything – Frappuccino, mocha cake, mocha ice cream, mocha mocha mocha 🙂

It comes of course in regular butter flavour. Please call Mika Licuanan ( 0917) 852 3232

Le Donne

By Heart2Heart | Fashion | No Comments

So happy to see Marion Salonga, a fellow Assumptionista and cousin of my good friend, Lilli Ann. A very busy and hard working woman ( and still single 🙂 ). She did not want me to take her photo so I just grabbed a photo of her from instagram together with Toni Gonzaga.

Marion works for her family business, Le Donne. Le Donne is a 40 year old store which started out as a shoe store and now they have bags as well. And if you are familiar with the stores- Milani, Ohrelle and Mondi, these are all stores selling shoes and bags but are stores owned by Marion’s cousins. I am trying to imagine how competitive it is for the cousins to be in the same type of business and competing against each other, yet it’s amazing how close they are to each other. Le Donne has 20 locations now and still growing. Marion is very hands on in the business and makes sure that production and quality of the products are to their standards. Aside from Le Donne, Marion is also Vice President of Meridian Securities Inc which is a stock brokerage firm of her family as well. More power to you Marion 🙂

They got Toni Gonzaga as their endorser for the brand 🙂

An interesting brand of shoes where the heels of the shoes are embellished 🙂

Dinner with Gilbert and Nikki

By Heart2Heart | Celebrations, Foodie | No Comments

We were so happy to be with Gilbert and Nikki in their lovely home 🙂 Here are the boys in the kitchen

Apparently Gilbert likes to cook!!! Heart2Heart loves it!!

That night he made sangria for us. I hope we can taste more of his cooking 🙂 Hint hint Gilbert 🙂

My favourite part of the house!! Gibert’s shelves of books!! This is just one side. Right across it is another shelf full with the same amount of books as this. This does not count the other books he has in his mom’s house and the cookbooks he has in his kitchen. Since high school, Gilbert loved reading books and he now has thousand of books in his collection. He has read some of then over and over again.

He told me that he sleeps very early and wakes up at around 2 am to read books and then he goes back to sleep again. And he does not read just one book, he reads three. He switches among the three books so he doesn’t get bored. No wonder he is so smart!!

We had a nice dinner, not in the main dining but in another part of the house which has this beautiful Asian backdrop! LOVE!!

I am so lucky my seat mate was Gilbert!! Enjoyed chatting with him and I was taking a lot of notes on restaurant recommendations here and in London. I love how passionate he is when he talks about restaurants and what’s good in each of them 🙂 i need more time to pick his brain!! 🙂

Of course beautiful Nikki was there together with the ever lovely Vicky Pimentel of Cucina Victoria and an ex- Rustan’s manager/designer. I love this lady a lot. We used to work together before and no matter what, she was always very professional and she did her job well. She was the mommy of the younger managers in the office

Rina and Joanne 🙂

Manolet, Kirk, James and Suharto

They served us a nice Spanish dinner. Thank you Gilbert and Nikki

This came when we were already finished eating and I wish Gilbert brought it out earlier!! His own homemade dish, Sinantolan. Gilbert told me that his friend’s mom used to cook this and he liked it but when they moved out of the country he had to learn how to make it himself and he got it in two trys 🙂 YUMMY!

The new member of their family, Brando. Gilbert got him for Nikki to protect her, but look how sweet and harmless he is!!! So cute!! 🙂 but gigantic 🙂

Bea De Leon

By Heart2Heart | Sports, Tributes | 7 Comments

Volleyball is becoming popular nowadays! When I was in the States last year, my friend Triccie told me that her daughter was into volleyball. Then here in Manila, my friend Det’s daughter is also a Volleyball player. And this young and pretty and tall lady, Bea De Leon is making waves already in UAAP volleyball!

Bea is the daughter of my friend, Det! I am claiming fame as early as now that I know the Mom of Bea De Leon!! 🙂 Det is a proud Mama and she told me that Bea has a following already. She has fans sending her messages and fan mail and also sending her gifts to show their love for her 🙂 Look how tall Bea is!! I like this photo because it shows how gigantic Bea is! Det is already tall and Bea is much taller than Mom! 🙂
