The gang had our christmas get together and we went to the South which is nearer for Pao and Trina. We were so happy because we discovered this place in BF Homes. Pao and Trina had heard about it from their sister, Bea. It is only a year old and because they were celebrating their anniversary, we got a 15% discount on our bill 🙂
This was our baby shower celebration as well for our dear friend, Trina who is about to pop soon 🙂
Pao and Trina are expecting a girl, so don’t ask me why I brought blue themed decorations thinking it was a boy! I knew very well it was a girl! Stress and age 🙂
We arrived ahead of Pao and Trina so Mish and I started ordering because we were so hungry!
I loved this platter – they put together all our appetizer rolls in one platter
I hope I get the names right – all I can remember was they were all good! Something different, not the usual japanese rolls
Tuna and Scallops dynamite
Spicy Tuna roll
Unagi Cream Cheese Maki
Fried oysters – again a unique dish – it’s the sauce and toppings that made it different
Gyoza!
Sensei Seafood pasta – I was so curious to taste this so we ordered it
Pan Roasted Salmon – it’s always the sauces and toppings that make his dish unique. We loved this dish!
Crispy Pork Confit Rice Bowl – Also yummy!!
Then Pao and Trina arrived!! And told us that we should look for the Chef and order the Omakaze meal! After ordering all those, we realized we made a mistake! But anyway, Pao looked for the Chef and apparently he was the guy behind the counter and we did not even know! Meet Chef Broosy!! So young, 21 years old!! Listen to him 🙂

We requested to do half Omakaze since we ordered almost half the menu already 🙂 He is requesting for two days notice and a budget which cannot be below P 1,500 per person for the Omakaze. He will prepare a surprise meal for you for up to 15 dishes!!!!!
This was what we had that evening….
Sashimi Platter – Hamachi, Amaebi, Hokkaido Scallops with seaweed, Scallion vinaigrette, buttermilk dressing and snapper tostada! WOW!! We all enjoyed this! He brought the platter and we just shared
Uni Tempura
Pork Belly Kakuni style with Roasted carrots, braised radishes, onions and fresh herbs – Everything unique and tasted so good!
Beef Tataki with shaved foie gras, potato and fresh wasabi- AMAZING!!! Make sure you ask for this!!!
Chef Broosy behind the counter – concocting his dishes
We ordered the two desserts in the menu
Grilled banana
Half Baked Chocolate cake

Congratulations to my cousin, Bea Tantoco!!!! She now sings for movie soundtracks!!! Heart2Heart is so proud. Listen to the song, click on the arrow below
From Bea
My most recent project was singing for the movie theme song of this Filipino film, Flames of Love. I watched the movie and its not your typical tagalog film. Yes, it has the drama, the infidelity, prostitution, and all that jazz but with a twist– teaching us how to pray and to go to God. I really acknowledge and support Tita Baby Nebrida for putting out a movie such as this. It’s definitely worth watching to see what is now possible for the film and entertainment industry here in the Philippines.
The song I sang was written by Baby Nebrida, composed and arranged by Chase Lomibao and Carlos Magno- featuring moi
Love, Bea

Another beautiful thing to take note of while in India- their chandeliers! Most of them antique. I wish I could take home a few for our home 🙂

I started documenting this a bit late but I am glad I captured some of them. Heart2Heart just loves the outfits of the hotel and restaurant staff in India. They all look so proud to wear their very own

A few days before we arrived in India, Starbucks opened their first store in Mumbai! And a month later, they have three stores already in India
Before Starbucks, India had Cafe Coffee Day. It’s the biggest coffee chain with around 2,000 stores! We were able to see a few and stop by at one on one of the road trips 🙂 This one is by the Taj Mahal in Agra

On our last evening in Udaipur, Mom booked dinner at the resort. It was also a celebration for her birthday which would happen in two days. I am including here an excerpt from the diary of Tito Joe who writes very well and could not describe it better than any of us. Thank you Mom for a wonderful dinner, it was the best meal we had in our whole stay in India.
Mom’s prayer before the meal – she really takes it seriously and even writes it down 🙂

Our last day and our last Palace visit 🙂
Narrow hallways in the palace
We were lucky our tour guide had a relative inside so even if there were a lot of people ( due to the holiday ), we were able to get access quickly and get out quicker without having to wait for everybody else
The Crystal gallery which was so beautiful, no photos allowed so nothing to share here
