Thanks Mykie for introducing me to these spices!! I looked for the Sea Salt with herbs and discovered many others which i liked and in Rustan’s Fresh San Antonio and Makati!!! There are so many other kinds in the website of Carmencita.com. I wish they had the other kinds available here.

By now, you would have probably guessed that Heart2Heart is a fondue addict! Even in highschool, I would arrange fondue dinners with my friends at home. La Tasca Fondue room was our all time favorite restaurant. It’s a pity they closed down.
Thanks again to Frieda for sharing with Heart2Heart a beautiful presentation for her chocolate fondue. How you can make something so simple look so beautiful- just like a work of art!
And a few months ago I saw this section in Rustan’s Home in Makati 4th floor with all fondue cookers!! I went crazy just looking at them!! So many kinds!!

Thanks to my bestfriend, Eds, for taking us to her cousin’s new restaurant! RG and his chef friend, Ivan, worked together to come up with Focaccia. Thanks also to the mom of RG, Tita Evelyn, for supporting this new venture. Hope you can all support these two young guys!
The prices are very reasonable and the quality of the food is very good. Definitely value for your money. Perfect for big groups so you can share the dishes. We enjoyed our lunch! We will be back many many times and luckily it is very near our office!
More power to RG and Chef Ivan!
Mushroom Soup
I liked the Cream of Tomato and Basil soup very much and it was nice to have it in sets of 3 small cups so we were all able to share it and only for P 90.00!
Spinach and Artichoke Formaggio!!!! YUM! Formaggio!
Spaghetti Amatriciana also YUMMY!
Canneloni in Bechamel Sauce
What a great concept! Pazzo Rollio ( crazy rolls )! I call it Super super thin crust pizza and I could eat it as is without even rolling it. I love thin crust pizzas! This kind is really the thinest I have tried. I love it!! I want to try the other kinds!!!! 3 to 4 people can share one order and it is reasonably priced and YUMMY!
Our kids have even eaten here before us- see below ( right top corner ). We saw their autographs on the wall! They told us they liked it too! They want to go back already….
The restaurant is in a new mall in Makati Avenue where they have many other restaurants and new food concepts.

Congratulations to Criselda and Keleo on a beautiful Holiday collection! Same time last year, Criselda had a fashion show in celebration of her birthday. I enjoyed attending both as it reminds me of the old Rustan’s….the Rustan’s I grew up with. Criselda has been with Rustan’s ever since I was a child and she is one of the few loyal personalities with the company and with the family.
Going to Criselda’s shows is like a reunion! Everyone seems to know everyone and all are happy to see each other. They are all so beautiful, so dressed and made up for the special event. I enjoy seeing many familiar faces who I see in Rustan’s events, some of which are friends of my Lola and family. All her friends and customers who have become her friends and have been loyal to her, gather for one evening to support her and of course buy a lot from her beautiful collection. It is such a nice and heartwarming event!
I was so happy to meet Hans Chong who is now the Director for Keleo. He is the son of Dennis Chong whom I used to work with when I was still with the Silver Vault. It is so nice to see that Dennis has passed on his responsibilities to his son.
Hans told me that he likes photography and in fact took the photos of the jewelry for their catalog which are here as well. ( see below )
Including herewith an article from the Inquirer which I thought was a very beautiful one as it talks about Criselda and how she started and her relationship with Lola Glecy. I admire her and how she grew with Rustan’s. And on the personal side, I admire her for standing on her own and enjoying her independence…
If you have not tried Tender Trap ensaymadas yet, you have to try it!!! It is so soft it melts in your mouth and it is so YUMMY!!!

My friend Mykie really knows how to enjoy food and eating out! He is our restaurant adviser for Japan and Hong Kong as he has lived there before. Thanks Mykie and Keiko for inviting us for dinner. It was nice to be with Kirk and Joanne!
We really really enjoyed the meal you prepared for us in Maurizio that evening. Mykie is part owner of Maurizio and he served us a superb meal. We are definitely coming back to eat the same dishes we had!
Burrata – Creamy Mozzarella Buffala
Insalata Mista
Pizze del Re ( Pizza of Kings ) – Porcini Mushrooms and Mozzarella Buffala
Assorted cold cuts – my favorite is the lardo ( the all white one )! I am sure it is also the unhealthiest of all!
Bistecca Fiorentina -Prime Angus Rib Eye
You have to go to Maurizio and try their Fiorentina- we had the porterhouse cut and the rib eye
Bistecca Fiorentina – Wagyu Porterhouse
Penne ala Nordica – Olive Oil, Garlic, Anchovies, Vodka, Chili and Cream
