22 days and counting down

Days left before Christmas: 22 days 23 hours 20 minutes and counting down

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's past midnight and I am working late again. Good thing there are two cable lines installed in this house: one in the living room and another in the master's bedroom (our room), which help me stay up until around 4 a.m.

Anyway, I was just changing channels while waiting for the baby to fall asleep and for my stomach ache to subside. As usual, I decided to tune into Lifestyle Network (my new favorite channel) where the program {Listed} is currently aired. They were featuring some stuff, and then Isabelo.

The mother's workshop turned into a part of the restaurant.

Isabelo Garden Restaurant is, well, a garden restaurant where according to {Listed} is difficult to find. It is a mother-and-daughter-owned restaurant. The mother is an artist and the daughter is (as they say) an advertising bigwig-turned restaurateur.

Anyway, I so envy the place and their concept. This is the kind of place where I want to dine in. I know my hubby would love this place, as well as my friends. And, this is the kind of business that I'd like to have as well.

OMG! Portia Baluyut is the daughter-owner! I recognize her from Lifestyle Network's Clash of the Tok-en Ones.

Their menu consists of a wide array of dishes, from pasta, pizza, to steak, and more! Yum! My type of food!

Yipeee! They serve one of my favorite dishes!

hmmmnn...pizza!

yummy!!! <3

Unfortunately, I won't be able to visit this place since it is islands away from where I am. They are located in Luzon, somewhere in Marikina. And, as mentioned earlier in this post, their place is hard to find. So, in case you want to give them a visit, I found this map online to help you:

I hope this will help. :)

By the way, don't forget to call before you go there. They strictly do not welcome walk-ins. You can also book online through their website: http://www.isabelogarden.com.

Enjoy dining!

P.s. please don't forget to tell me about your experience!
