Antonio's

The place is home to Breakfast at Antonio's from morning till 4PM. In the evening, it transforms into this dimly lit place, perfect for those who want to impress their dates. According to the chef, the menu changes from time to time. The greens are grown by the Chef's wife, Agnes, in her garden.

On the way to the restaurant, you'd think that you'd gone out of the way because of the quiet, narrow streets. You'd never guess how vast the place is unless you've gone around to explore it. The restaurant can seat around two hundred people. It has the find-dining feel that even Manila's five star hotels can not live up to.

After sampling the food and the service, I believe that they deserve being in Miele's top 20 restos in Asia.

I just want you to see how special Antonio's was. Photos are courtesy of Vic.


The salad is much better with the Baked Brie and Cranberry in Puff Pastry.


This the Bulalo on toast with caramelized onion. This truly melts in the mouth.


Seafood Bisque
My Seafood Platter consisting of Salmon, some white fish and yummy Scallops.

Here is Eliza blowing her birthday dessert, flourless chocolate cake


Vic and I plan to go back so we can sample the other specialties, without the kids, this time.

Excited

That is how I felt when I got up from bed this morning. There are just so many things to do and to look forward to this week. I'd have to... ... get hold of CCP to discuss a possible tie-up for the next Three Festival. I may need to get some contacts from Tito Bal. ... get the space application form from Ayala Malls. ... visit the furniture fair at SMX this weekend. ... get a new copy of our marriage certificate for Vic's Visa renewal. ... obtain franchise terms from my top two food chains. ... interview the new househelp prospect. ...see if we can finally sell our SUV to make room for a bigger one. I hope I can get started soon. I hope Javi's yaya gets well right away so I can slip and get some of these done.

Luxury Bags in Japan

Since almost everyone I know visited Japan this summer, I would like re-live my visit this year through this post.  This time, I will focus on luxury bags. We've heard about the usual reseller shops that house these luxury brands.  The one I can remember now is Daikokuya. I must've visited almost all reseller shops I've seen on the road.  I've noticed that these shops carry the top 3 popular ones:  Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.  There still are several pieces of Balenciaga, Valentino, Tory Burch, Celine, Gucci and Michael Kors but not as abundant as the top 3.  I guess what carries the most value are the three popular ones. If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...

Peacher Grapes

Last weekend, we were invited to PAREF Rosefield's Open House. We've been meaning to formalize our intent to enroll Johann there. It was a great opportunity for us to know more about how the school is run and how it differs from other schools. The Orientation affirmed what we believe, that the parents are the primary educators. They also share the same values that we'd like to foster in our kids. Their method of instruction is not too limitting . It seems to have the right mix of structured and unstructured instruction. We were also informed that the kids got into the big schools of their choice. That speaks well of their effectiveness as a school. I also like the fact that they give formation and skills classes to yayas while they're waiting for their alagas to finish class. -------------------- We brought Johann with us so he'd be more familiar with the faces and the school grounds. There was one kid who wanted to drag him to the play area. She was ...
