One-of-a-kind Filipino setting for Christmas dinner catching up with lovely friends.

Loved my new favourites— prawn-stuffed egg, beef tenderloin with rosemary, baked halibut, mackerel pasta, fresh grape juice, and churros con chocolate [perfectly crisp outside and soft inside] at Las Casas by Chef @margaritafores.

Exquisite artistic details in the natural wood marquetry, inlaid tile mosaics with beautiful Amorsolo paintings and more .

Under way is a beautiful Filipiniana town plaza with six upcoming heritage houses in a cozy charming setting.

This is going to be a more easily accessible preview to the must-visit 400-hectare sprawling museum and heritage park in Bagac, Bataan of Spanish colonial mansions which were transported and restored “brick by brick and plank by plank.” Remembering that memorable visit https://atomic-temporary-30301605.wpcomstaging.com/2018/03/20/las-casas-filipinas-de-acuzar-in-4-1-2-hours/

This place has been booked with many events so it was great to finally nail an open date for our reunion.

Blessed by the friendship, love, early Christmas sharing and m-eating with @talesfromtheheart and Kap, @leahddy and Francis, @michbramos and @neil_ramos1, @erwindona and @cezcaestrada, and my beautiful date, @heart2heartonline 😄😁😍 .
