Prince Restaurant

We went to Hong Kong on a business trip and of course set aside important time to dine in between…… dsc_6561.JPG

….And get together with friends and family who were also there – Ned and Janet who came with us, Mich who lives there and my brother Jun Jun and Margs who were also on a businesstrip 

princesshk-6.jpg

It was a good restaurant, the problem was we did not know what to order.  It was recommended by the concierge at the hotel.  Suddenly we are lost without Mom who normally does all the ordering….But anyway we had a great time and it was nice to have Chinese food in Hong Kong 🙂

I forgot the names – this was a yummy beef dish, basic sweet and sour pork and a vegetable dish

Everyone ordered this for dessert – like a mango sago

I took photos of dishes I liked in the menu that we did not order…they looked good

These looked good and the head waiter was pushing us to order this…but scary to see a menu with Seasonal price written on it 🙂 where there is no price and you do not know the weight of the seafood. So we did not order anymore

Kitchen’s Best

By | Foodie | 5 Comments

Kitchen’s Best is the famous pastry maker that you see in many bazaars.   After many years, they have opened their own commissary and bakeshop in a permanent location! I admire people who start from scratch and grow their business!  My real favorite is their sansrival ( The Best Sansrivals May 2, 2008) but I like all their other cakes too.  

I did not even know they were open since September last year. So after merienda at Terry’s, we went here for dessert.  YUMMY!!!

The inseparable sisters that own and run Kitchen’s Best.  They all help each other in the business with Roselyn being the Chef and the other two, Marlyn and Berna assisting in the operations.   MORE POWER TO YOU!!

It is a nice, quaint place in the back of Karrivin Plaza, further down from Terry’s Selection and across Steps Dance Studio

A week or so after, I dragged my father in law and husband to eat there for dinner so we were able to try the food!  YUMMY!!!! Definitely Heart2Heart’s type of food- I love home cooking or old family recipes! We chose everything with an asterisk (*) which are their recommendations. I did not bring my big camera so the photos are not so good and do not do real justice to the dishes.   I did not even know Roselyn cooks too!! I thought she was just into baking!   So go try them for yourself  and support the three sisters at Kitchen’s Best 🙂

Condura Run 2009 by Ton Concepcion

By | Events and Launches, Green, Health and Fitness | 4 Comments

 

Congratulations to Ton Concepcion on another successful race!!  Ton told me that last year there were around 2,000 plus  participants, this year it almost tripled to around 6,500. WOW!!! I could not recognize anyone in the crowd due to the thousands of people running!  And I apologize for the poor photos as I had a hard time shooting against the sun so i had to edit some photos and then they became blurred. I gave up for awhile but then went back to the finish line to meet the 21k runners who i thought deserved to be greeted in the finish line!  Congratulations to everyone who joined and helped make this a successful event!
