Breakfast at Chelsea Grand Cafe

By | Celebrations, Foodie | No Comments

There are just some things in life that you want to bring back but because of time and circumstance, things change.   Even friends change.  Reminiscing back to my high school days when I was new at Assumption San Lorenzo and there were three friends who welcomed me immediately and made me feel at home – Tinette Lanuza dela Vega, Peachy Zulueta Maxwald,  and Eds Genuino.  We were classmates and we were together every single day, talking on the phone every single day and were the best of friends.  Many years later, we find ourselves in different worlds and I am happy that today I am reunited with two of the three.  Peachy who now lives in Switzerland is here for the summer and Eds who is still my best friend till now.  And I love Peachy booboo who I now pressure like when we were in high school and I would go to her house everyday after school. 

We had breakfast at Chelsea Grand Cafe . Loved the bread plate 🙂

Love the chic nut that comes with the coffee

Homemade Skinless Vigan Longganisa

US Tapa Salpicao

The Classic Egg Benedict – one egg slipped down 🙂

Snickers Pie

Today, James, joined our breakfast reunion because he wanted to have breakfast 🙂  but one day  Tinette who now lives in Los Angeles will hopefully be with us and we will reunite 🙂

Grace Park and Pinkberry for Bing

By | Celebrations | No Comments

It was so nice to personally meet Bing Salvador, a Heart2Heart reader.  She just celebrated her 63rd birthday and she treated for lunch at Grace Park 🙂  She told me she started reading Heart2Heart in 2010 and she was saving all the emails ( around 2,500 emails ) of entries because she thought it was a private website and it will disappear if she doesn’t save them.  I appreciate her for her constant support!  She likes pink too 🙂

Bing loves Pinkberry so we went to Powerplant Mall which was right beside Grace Park and it was my turn to treat the birthday girl to her favourite frozen yogurt 🙂  She had plain with kiwi, mango and strawberry.  I tried the new key lime flavour and super love it! So refreshing and light!
