Merienda at Astralis

By | Foodie, What's New at Power Plant Mall | 3 Comments

My sister invited us out this time for an afternoon with Mom.  We decided to make it a regular thing to spend time with the girls.  We watched a nice movie at Power Plant Mall. We cried and loved the movie…

and then we had merienda at Astralis.  Since it is mom’s recent favorite, my sister chose that place.  

We got excited when we saw this sign on the table…

They did not have the buffet at the time we were there, but they gave us a sample to try 🙂  They served us the FRENCH raclette…. it was good but we prefer the SWISS kind which is not as strong as the French raclette

Though we each ordered our own dishes, we still shared everything 

Yup! This is my dish!  🙂 Pan seared Foie Gras on Kirsch apple quarters and plums

Our GM’s favorite Salad – Apparently is Mom’s favorite salad too, so this is Mom’s order

Baked Oysters Three Ways – this is my sister’s order, she loves oysters!

This is a new discovery for us.  Our eldest brother told us to order this! He knew it was our type because Mom serves us something like this.  Our brother was right! We loved it!! It is a Japanese type of pasta! We highly recommend this if you like cod roe 

Sato-San’s Japanese Mentaiko Spaghetti – spicy cod roe, nori on cream sauce

Oh my gosh! This dessert is a must!  They recommended this to us!

Chocolate Truffle with Lemon Curd and Peanut Ice Cream!!!! The chocolate truffle cake is so yummy!!!!

Closer You and I

By | Heart Songs, Valentine's Day | 4 Comments

Last week while I was driving, I heard this song on the radio and I remembered and recognized it right away as a Close Up commercial a long time ago.  I used to love watching the Close Up commercials as a teenager!

Heart2Heart is CHEEZY because she loves CHEESE!  miniheartsmilingimages2.jpg

I searched for it in YOU Tube, and this is what I found.  It is not clear…but anyway many of you might remember this….

Gino Padilla is the original version singing in that commercial – I could not find any nice video of him singing it himself so I chose this with the lyrics of the song

And now, Piolo has a version!! Love Piolo! Oops! Love his version!   miniheartsmilingimages2.jpg

Piolo’s version with no video but with clearer audio, when you just want to listen to the song…hayyy…miniheartsmilingimages2.jpg

A Unique Valentine’s Offering

By | Great Ideas, Valentine's Day | 2 Comments

I heard about this Valentine offering from my friend, Miguel.  Wow!! First time for me to hear about a Valentine offer like this.  I think it is very unique and very personalized and more intimate!  For those that do not want to crowd in a restaurant…I think this Valentine experience is a GREAT IDEA! They set up the dinner table in your room – 5 course! LOVE THE IDEA!

I have not been to the hotel yet nor tried the food but I would like to one of these days. Miguel told me that the Chef is the former Chef of Prince Albert which is one of our favoriteshotelcelestepromo4.jpg
