Heart2Heart recently visited this new place and loves it!!! I think many of you will too.  It was formerly a warehouse which they converted into sort of a mall type of operations

I bumped into the owners there!!! Tito Raffy and Tita Juvy!

With the help of their daughter Cheska and her friends, they conceptualized this place.  It’s a place with very unique, ” artsy”, and quaint restaurants and stores!! Reminds me of the type of stores you would see in Soho or Tai Kang Lu in Shanghai ( Tai Kang Lu April 22, 2010 )!

Of course my first stop is in our friend’s place - Paolo and Trina’s HAPPY PALACE!  Love the name :-)  They serve Mongolian BBQ and dimsum!  Each child of Tito Raffy and Tita Juvy has a space and each of them have their own concepts

Then Jaco and Kathy have their store too which is tops and Kathy’s line of Bella. As usual, i bought one of each cologne!

In the middle is an open space where events and small concerts are held.  There is a bar to serve drinks and food as well nearby.  You can rent the venue
