Louie Tabuena Foundation

By Heart2Heart | Giving Back | 7 Comments

I am so proud of my friends who set up foundations to help others. One of them is Tere del Rosario.

Thanks Tere for inviting me to your very informative talk on cancer treatment. It was very enlightening for me and for sure to the many who attended. It is good to know the options one has whether it be for yourself, for a family member or friend.

I had the chance to visit Parkway Healthy at Gleneagles Hospital in Singapore when I accompanied one of my bestfriends, Rina, and her Dad and Mom. Rieta and Rina wanted to give their Mom the best treatment and a chance to live when they found out she had liver cancer. They heard about Dr. K.C. Tan of Parkway Health and brought their Mom to him. What was interesting was in the reception/waiting area, we noticed the staff to be of many different asian nationalities including a Filipina. Apparently, many patients from different parts of Asia come all the way to Singapore to seek treatment in this Center. I think that says a lot about the reputation this place has…

Yoh-gurt Froz

By Heart2Heart | What's New at Power Plant Mall, Yummy! | No Comments

Yogurt is the “IN” thing! I LOVE YOGURT!!!Everytime I see a yogurt place, I get so excited and need to try it!!! I discovered this at the Urban Bazaar at Rockwell a few weeks ago. I got to meet the owner, Jane, as she was there making sure everything was going well. They have two concepts, the usual yogurt with toppings ( TOP IT ) and then the yogurt that is swirled and mixed ( MIX IT ) with the fruit or flavor of your choice. You can also get them for your private parties/events

Pink Kitchen 2008

By Heart2Heart | Events and Launches, Foodie, Giving Back | 2 Comments

It is Pink Kitchen this October – the same yummy event you enjoyed so much last year. This time, it is even better, yummier with more new food items to choose from. We have gathered almost 50 chefs and caterers to participate. Aside from that, we have again twisted the arms of “seasonal cooks” whose specialties are served only in their homes, like Wynn Wynn Ong, Mona Bishier Valdez and Mariko Jacinto to name a few. They are cooking Burmese, Indonesian and Japanese food respectively. Wynn and Mona are no strangers to Pink Kitchen having sold the most, while Mariko is a new participant and she will delight you with her Japanese creations.

Adding to the excellent food and wine to enjoy are pocket activities scheduled at 2, 4 and 6pm for 2 days on different topics. They are: Kid’s baking with Mel Francisco, author of Witchkins; Coffee Preparations with Robert Francisco of Boyd’s Coffee; Wine Appreciation with Ines Cabarrus of Enderun Colleges; Healthy Cooking with Rob Pengson, TV Host of Chef-on-the-Go; Cake Creations with award-winning Pastry Chef Buddy Trinidad and Look Good, Feel Good Skin Program by Becca cosmetics of Adora.

The organizing committee is headed by Kara Alikpala (Pres. of ICanServe), Bettina Osmena (Chairman, Fund-Raising) Beth Romualdez (Chairman, Pink Kitchen), Libet Virata (Chairman, Marketing and Sponsorship) Via Romualdez-Reyes (Project Manager), Alice Orleans, Executive Director, ICanServe; Ina Vergel de Dios(,Physical Arrangements); Ria Romero, Lian Chua (Finance) and Marge Jorillo.

We have put all our efforts together for a common goal: to raise funds for the benefit of the underserved women with BREAST CANCER. Our thrust, of course, is early detection and that is why ICanServe has launched projects like “Ating Dibdibin” ( the first community-based screening program in Marikina) and Silver Linings which was recently held in Cebu. I am inviting you to log on to ICanServe website –www.icanserve.net to know more about the projects being done to increase awareness, fight ignorance and fear among women with cancer.

It is a very worthy cause. I am inviting you once again to enjoy the week-end of Oct. 18 and 19 (Saturday and Sunday) with your family at the Rockwell Tent. This is your chance to savor your favorite foods and seldom- seen- food items, being waited on by the hospitality students of Enderun Colleges inside a beautifully decorated Tent. Be there at the opening at 11am for lunch, followed by a merienda break at 3pm. Walk around a little at the mall then come back for wine and dinner and some entertainment at 7pm till 10pm. All day at 200 pesos for adults and 100 for kids entrance fees.

Please call us for tickets – Beth or Via: 0929 848-2918

With much appreciation, Beth

The Stock Market

By Heart2Heart | Celebrations, Foodie | 7 Comments

We wanted to take out our friend, Pam, who is here on vacation and we were so happy to discover this new restaurant at Bonifacio High Street. I heard about it from my sister Krie so i recommended it… It was a good choice. We liked the ambience, the food and most of all the company

They just opened and are still partially finished. The private room, the deli, pastry counter, wines, breads, etc are still not yet available. They will also be selling the meats that come from the Del Monte Farms.

It is owned by Del Monte ( which explains all the pineapples and the plantation interiors ) in partnership with Center for Culinary Arts (CCA)

Pam lives in the States so we see hardly see her.

We are happy whenever she comes because it is the only time we have a reunion of our Spain group… Ana, Babylyn, Maricar, Pam and I

Babylyn, Maricar, Pam and I lived and studied together in Madrid for one year while Ana was in Barcelona. Ana visited us, so we adopted her as part of our Spain group. Hopefully our next reunion will be in Spain! 🙂

Since they are on dry run, they are giving a 20% discount! 🙂 So hurry and try it!!!

We met one of the chefs, Carina Guevara. She conceptualized the menu for the restaurant.

Tomato Fondue with Mozzarella and Parmesan Croutons – of course this is my order and loved it! The tomato fondue is good also to add to any dish as a sauce so we asked for a teaspoon to scoop it out and put it on our plates

Pan-fried Angel Food Cod Cakes with Corn Chowder Sauce

Flatbread with Arugula – Goat Cheese, Roasted Garlic, Walnuts, Olives and Olive Oil

Prime Burger with Grilled Pineapple, Bacon and Caramelized Onions

Pan Seared Roast Beef with Gratinated Potatoes with Bernaise Sauce – This dish was ordered by Ana and we all liked it. It is made form their locally grown meat from the Del Monte farms. The beef was tender and tasty. It was very good and was more than enough for the 5 of us. We had two more other main dishes. It was a good share for only P 995.00. WORTH IT!

Ravioli of Cream Cheese, Parmesan and Pine Nuts

Creamy Banana Trifle with Billowy Meringue and Hot Fudge Sauce

Key Lime Pie with Whipped cream

Telephone #: 856-6301

Ground Floor, Building 3, Fort Bonifacio High Street ( near Starbucks )

Mich Araullo

By Heart2Heart | Fashion, What's New at Power Plant Mall | 3 Comments

I received a message from Popsie to visit her cousin at the Urban Bazaar in Rockwell. Mich is a college student and does fashion on the side. Popsie told me that she only showcases her items in the Urban bazaar as she is really still a full time student. Her booth was very busy

Popsie, you are a great and proud cousin giving so much support to your cousin! I think that at a young age we should support young children/adults when they show interest in doing business or pursuing their career. The guidance and support you get from your family and friends is very important. Her Dad and Mom were there also at her booth helping her sell! Mich is a lucky girl!

To Mich, good luck in pursuing your career or whatever it is you will do after you graduate!

Old Asia

By Heart2Heart | Shopping, What's New at Power Plant Mall | 3 Comments

It’s been 17 year since Tita Pachot started Old Asia. She was one of the first in the business till everyone else followed.

More power to Tita Pachot and Old Asia!

Of course, behind Tita Pachot is her loving and supportive family….

and friends….

Tita Pachot selects everything that goes inside the store…and everything is beautiful! I think that in every business, what is important is the owner’s touch. It makes a whole lot of difference and you will know it…

Sandy’s Pizza

By Heart2Heart | Yummy! | 6 Comments

TRY IT! TRY IT!!!

I like celebrity anything! Sandy is the sister of Gabby Concepcion who was once married to one of my favorite stars, Sharon Cuneta 🙂

Thanks to my friend, Michele, for telling me about this!! We have to have it together one of these days!

Just the menu alone made me want to order immediately. They have a SAMPLER where you can have 4 kinds of pizza all in one! They deliver to Makati but it takes an hour and half! I will wait!!

WHITE PIZZA – THREE CHEESES!!! – one of their bestsellers, one of my favorites!

PEPPERONI

COMBINATION

Make sure the pizza is reheated before you eat it..it makes a big difference. The pizza was a bit late so since the guests were waiting, we did not heat it anymore and ate it straight. When we ate the leftover slices the next day and heated it, it was much much better!! So make sure to pre heat your oven before the pizza arrives, then heat it and EAT IT!!
