The Newton's Restaurant- Kudos to Chef Agustin and His Kitchen Crew

Newton's Restaurant-The Heritage Downtown (THD), Walnut Creek, CA

My recent lunch ( see photo above) of Bow Tie Pasta Salad, Lentil soup with sausage, watermelon and Coke was excellent. The Pasta Salad has cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, parmesan cheese and Italian Dressing.

One of the many factors of my decision to move here at THD last year was the food service at Newton's- Our THD restaurant. https://theheritagedowntown.com/fine-dining/

I have enjoyed numerous normal and weekly dishes, and also several special dishes celebrating special occasions. Newtons have provided delicious and authentic dinners for Valentine, Easter, July 4th, October Filipino-American History month, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve. Newton's is very creative in their Salads and Soups Presentations as well as Desserts. The following are some special dishes on special occasions served here at Newton's.

In Dinner the menu of January 22-27, 2024 is listed in one of the vegetarian dishes, one of my favorite Mexican dishes- chili relleno casserole. Thank you Agustin for honoring my request. Agustin is our Chef here at Newton's Restaurant.

It was delicious and a little bit spicy, but I love it. So as a warning if you do not like spicy food, the chili relleno casserole is not for you. However, if you have an adventurous palate and like Mexican dishes try it this week.

Here are some photos of Newton's and Senior Residents enjoying Dinner.

Meanwhile, I talked to Agustin the other day, our Chef about Sinigang.💚 He said his wife (a Filipina-American) will cook it and he will bring a bowl for me. Thank You, Agustin! Keep up with Good work and my thanks to all the Kitchen Crew. Meanwhile, here's a website that describes Sinigang in the top 100 Best Soup in the World by Taste Atlas.

Chateau Du Mer Beach Resort and Conference Center

These are the reviews from from two of our guests published at the Trip Adviser web site. Visit the Trip Adviser website for additional details. 1.What a peaceful place to spend relaxing time in Marinduque! The cottage is very comfortable, and right on the beach, with a large deck for watching the sunset. The location in Boac (and not too far from Gasan) is well placed for a home base for day trips around Marinduque. But the best part of our stay here was the graciousness of the hosts, David and Macrine. They are warm-hearted, know the island well, and truly made us feel at home. Although we were there to explore the island and relax, the property has a great conference/meeting facility as well. Highly recommended. 2. Nestled against the beach, this cottage on stilts was a great place to spend a week away from all the insanity of urban life. With a spacious deck, two bedrooms, a living room and a full kitchen, my entire family truly enjoyed their stay. The hosts, Dave and Macrine do everything possible to make you feel like family, while still giving you space and privacy. The beach is all of 25 feet away and early morning walks on the beach are what I remember most. My kids were fascinated with the bamboo flooring. A reef is just off shore and filled with beautiful fish to enjoy while snorkeling. I would go back in a minute if I could.

I love Sunsets! How About You?

1. Sunset from Balcony of the Chateau Du Mer Beach House, Amoingon, Boac, Marinduque, Philippines Over the years, I have seen and photographed several dozens of sunsets in several countries that my wife and I have visited. We have been to Marbella, Spain, Rome, Italy, London,England, Vancouver, B.C., Cancun, Mexico, Aruba, Hawaii( Maui, Kawaii, Big Island), Puerto Rico and most of the US big cities, New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Chicago, Kansas City, St Louis, Miami, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, NV, Houston, TX and other small cities . But the two most beautiful sunsets that stir my emotion are the one at Amoingon Bay (#1- taken at the balcony of our Chateau Du Mer Beach house-top photo) and the one over Manila Bay(# 9 photo). You will probably say, I am partial since I am a Filipino-American, but judge it yourself. Above are ten of my favorite sunset pictures for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy! Comments, anyone?
