Mushroom, Cherry Tomato and Basil Bruschetta Easy Recipe

1/2 baguette - sliced (12 pieces)
5 cloves garlic (2 for sauteing and 3 for bread)
Extra-virgin olive oil
30 cherry tomatoes, halved
20 fresh basil leaves
10 medium size shitake mushroom - sliced

Saute the sliced mushrooms, garlic tomatoes and before turning off the heat put in the fresh basil leaves. 

Place bread slices on the pan. Heat bread on each side. Rub garlic onto the bread.

Serve both hot. 

ABBEY: We first had this appetizer when we celebrated 2016 Hearts' Day at Pizzeria Mozza (Marina Bay Sands). Again, we made our own version or should I say Wilma. She topped slices of baguette with sautéed cherry tomatoes, basil, and mushroom. Every bite is flavorful and sumptuous. I think this can be partnered with mushroom or chicken soup. Thanks Baby Wilma.

Captain America: Civil War (Power Plant Cinema - Makati City)

ABBEY: This post is long overdue and I'll tell you the reason at the end of this blog. 

We watched Civil War at Rockwell Power Plant Cinema and it is the last full show. We bought the tickets online and we really appreciate the efforts of the staff for us to have tickets. There were some miscommunication on buying them but eventually resolved. We were about to pay at their office and we were told that it is a cash basis only. Still, the management accommodated our payment thru card as it was communicated before. 

The tickets were reprinted and we headed out to the cinema. The hall is big with enough leg room for me :) Since this is the last full show, and the place is cold and comfortable, I slept half of the movie. I was too tired. But I got a chance to see Spiderman, Aunt May (haha), and Stan Lee (Tony Stank). 

Anyways, we watched the movie again and I can say that the movie plot is already there in Pinoy movies but it's as if new when it was applied in Hollywood. The action and effects are great. Captain Rogers really believed on his friend. Can't wait for the next movie. 

Kudos Marvel and Rockwell Power Plant Cinema Management.

WILL: This is so, so late.. we apologize for that. 

For Civil War movie review, well, it has its continuation. The dust is not yet cleared. 

I want to take this opportunity to thank PowerPlant Mall for accommodating our request. As you can see, we booked our cinema ticket on the first day this movie hits the theater. 

I booked online at Power Plant Cinema and yet they have some problem in accepting credit cards (international or local). Despite backing out, we send an email to inform them about their site's glitch. In return, they help us blocked the cinema seats manually and we can pay when we arrived at the cinema. 

We commend Ms. Julie for treating us as a gold... As a VIP customer. Again, thanks Ms. Julie and Power Plant Mall. You help us make a wonderful bonding time for me and my family.

VEDRICT:
ABBEY: First time we ate this is at Handmade Burger. So we thought of having this cooked at home. 

Wilma showed again her cooking skills. It was delicious. The texture of mushroom mimics the meat. We sandwiched it on burger buns with slices of cheese. Best to eat them hot.
