I was able to stay in front but then photographers came so I was blocked when she came, but here is a video of the arrival and ribbon cutting

Aside from Floral dresses, Floral shoes!!
This is my favorite which I saw at the Samsonite Curv launch worn by Liz Uy – She was far so the photo is not clear

Few months back I attended the launch of Smart Ads

My friend, Noel Lorenzana, who was recently appointed as Wireless Consumer Division Head

Heart2Heart was so happy to be back at Masseto! I told Tippi that it is quite difficult for us to repeat restaurants since there are just so many to try out there, yet she always gives us reason to come back!
This time we were with our good friends, Gary and Alexie. We were happy to take them as this was their first time to dine at Masseto. They truly enjoyed their meal and will be back 🙂
Happy to see the owners there- Cynthi Tambunting Recto, sister of Tippi, with her son Luis who is a viewer of Heart2Heart! Thank you Luis, I am so happy I have young readers who follow my website
I love this compliments from the Chef- James and I like to order more of these compliments 🙂 But seriously, it was really good!! This should be on the menu!
We shared everything we ordered among the four of us. I truly truly enjoyed everything we ordered including the new dishes on the menu!!! The foie gras with chocolate sauce, the cheese soufflé, the pasta mentaiko, everything! I ordered the ribs just so I could have the blue cheese risotto 🙂 I added photos here of some dishes we did not have but are part of the menu
Arriving on Friday May 17th – White Asparagus from Germany! Limited stocks only. For reservations please call 8103565, 3380929 or 0918-8118088
Tippi showed me this whisky that had Hearts 🙂 Available at Bar M. Limited edition and they do not make this Japanese Malt Whisky anymore
Congratulations Tippi!!!

I was so happy to hear that Janine Taylor who I met recently in Cebu, is now at the Intercontinental Manila! Janine studied in Switzerland and she told me she is very meticulous and strict about everything. She knows immediately when something is not right by just one look – whether it be the linens that are not ironed properly or the food that is not served right
They have a new promotion now at The Intercontinental called Resto Go Round
You get a great deal for P 1,800.00 which normally is the cost of only the Prime Rib from Prince Albert
You start out at Gambrinus which opens at 6pm and you get an appetizer platter
(Note: Drinks are not included in the price )
You have to give your stub to the waiter for you to claim each meal from each restaurant so we tore off the Gambrinus coupon
Take your time and then you walk next door to Prince Albert. This place brings back so many memories when we were kids. We were always here – this was our favorite restaurant back then so it was nice to be back
I could not believe it but Francis, the maitre d of many years back is still there and looking very young! Even younger than he was back then! 🙂 I told him. Francis sends his regards to my Dad who he loves and remembers always. Since my Dad is a regular reader of Heart2Heart I promised Francis I would send his regards and he also sent a message for Dad to come back and visit 🙂
We celebrated many special occasions in this private room
Prince Albert is also known for their Ceasar salad and they were one of the first ones to do on the spot Ceasar salad
Now time for our Prime rib which Francis is confident to say that it is still the best in the country 🙂
Since 1969 they have been serving Prime rib and this oven has been the same oven since back them – this is older than me by one year only so 44 years old! WOW!!!
Yorkshire pudding made by a real Scottish Chef in the hotel and baked potato
James wanted the end cap of the rib so this was one of the ends
Mustard for those who preferred to have it
After that heavy meal 🙂 you can exercise and walk off a few calories and go to Jeepney Bar for the dessert buffet!
I focused on the one and only dessert that I love since way back then – their famous crepes samurai! Yum!! Behind that were fresh mangoes so I added more mangoes!!

Thank you Gigi Chua Caedo for these wonderful goodies! Gigi told me that she has left the corporate world and has taken interest into baking- French Macarons in particular!
She makes other pastries like sugar puffs and snow capped cookies
But her specialty is macarons! I shared them at Saturday lunch with Lola and everyone liked them
