On the way back to Manila from Subic, we passed by Clark to eat in this restaurant that everyone is talking about! Thanks Tito Ralph and Tita Babot for the surprise lunch treat !!!
Good thing the owner, Chris Locker, was there to take care of us …. by strict instruction of Tito Ralph 🙂
Chris told me that when he first opened 5 years ago, he had 24 seats and 8 employees. Now he has 190 seats and 45 employees! Wow! More power to you Chris and I hope you open in Makati!! 🙂
They have an outdoor area for private functions/parties or for night time seating when it is a bit cooler
This is where the famous panizza is made
There is another dining area in front of the restaurant
This is what people from all over come all the way here for! I LOVE IT TOO!!! I like the way he called them in his menu – It would be nice names if you were looking for baby names 🙂 Chris told me that it was he and his girlfriend ( now his wife ) who discovered this panizza. My Dad was trying to fish as to what Chris puts in his panizza that makes it very good…. all he said was it was made with five cheeses! Wow! No wonder it is so good and I like it so much!
Chris also makes other great Italian food!
Chris makes his own deli sausages which he is very proud of and he served it to us

I went with my Mom two weeks ago to the Legaspi Sunday market. It was our first time. They had a mixture of food and non food booths. We came at around 8:30 am and many were just setting up.
Here are some of the things we saw

This is a long overdue post. Last year we had an Ateneo College group reunion since Joanne was in town. We took advantage to get together. We were not complete, we missed Bubu and Raoul. We just celebrated at home with homemade food, thanks to Suzette for bringing the wine and homemade desserts.

I learned this from my Tita Nena years ago. She had a great idea of using the champoy powder with suha! Instead of dipping the suha in rock salt, dip it into the champoy sugar. It is so yummy!! Try it!

Another great find!!! Again I am always thankful when I am able to find something my husband really wants! He is so picky! We have searched high and low for the towel that he likes. Even my dad is picky about his towels, he has to buy the Shangri-la Hotel towels because they are thick and absorb very well. So you can imagine the thrill I got when I found out that the towel my husband likes is right here in Rustan’s at Debenhams!! So this is now my favorite section in Debenhams!!
Make sure to choose the Egyptian cotton towels. They cost P 1,350.00 each which is well worth it!
And good news…they come in many different colors!
Debenhams has many other towels at very reasonable prices..

I spotted these amusing masks from Saddlebrown at Manila Polo Club and M Pulse at Makati Medical Center! With the swine flu going around, you may need these. Definitely in crowded or enclosed places and if you see or hear anyone coughing or sneezing, put this on right away!! and have some laughs at the same time 🙂 For those who have cough or cold, hopefully they will be more conscientious to wear masks

Another birthday gift from our good friends Gary and Alexie. They treated us to dinner for our birthdays. I remember very well when Alexie gave me a spa treatment for a gift and we had it together. It was nice since we get to spend time together.
My Mom told me about Toki since she mentioned a Japanese friend wanted to take her there. As soon as I heard that, I immediately assumed that the place must be good. So when Alexie asked me where to go, I suggested Toki. We like it very much. After our dinner, we have been back 3 times, My Mom and Dad has been back 2 times. It is just across Aubergine.
They have a Japanese Chef who sort of reminds me of Luis “Lucky” Manzano 🙂 Young, very nice, soft spoken and obviously very talented
They have 2 private rooms for teppanyaki
Open kitchen
Their specialty is Wagyu
Toki Wagyu Yakiniku Maki Sushi
Wagyu Sukiyaki
Wagyu BBQ
Pork is the “in” thing now! The waitress recommended this and it was very very tender and very good. Sparerib No Kakuni!!
They have a different menu for lunch and they only serve these. I want to try the Wagyu Curry next time 🙂
