Earlier I had a pre-Valentine simple celebration with some Roadtripper ladies. We headed to my dreamt place, the Precious Moments Showroom.
I've always been eyeing to visit this restaurant before. The venue is just along the way where the provincial buses enroute to the south passes-by (where I live). What's more attractive than this not little Precious Moments statue that greets you at the entrance. Also, I've already heard and read many more beautiful stories about it as you get inside accordingly.
Wow! so when I was invited to join the group, I really can't hesitate the idea and went to the metro (one of my favorite things to do, for some shopping as well - real roadtripper a.k.a "lakwatsera" in me).
Precious Moments was created by Mr. Samuel "Sam" J. Butcher. What began as a mere drawing of tear drop-eyed children as gifts for family and friends evolved now as one of the most recognized forms of art in the world. More than cards and posters that give messages of love, care and sharing, the Precious Moments figurines with over 1,500 designs and continuously growing has also became a hobbyist collection.
Precious Moments in the Philippines primarily engaged in the production of the dolls since 1981, and operation of the restaurant and showroom. In July 2010, the Manila showroom was opened and it now houses most of its collection. It also serves as headquarters for the Philippine Precious Moments Collectors Club with more than 150 active members. Worldwide, the Precious Moments Collectors number to over one million.
So finally, I was here enjoying myself with their gallery. I am really overjoyed seeing those cute and lovely dolls and figurines that were created and sold over the years. Some of them carrying beautiful messages. This time they have transformed the place from the previous Christmas holiday set-up to the very cozy and romantic mood to suit those who will go on Valentine date tomorrow. Actually, as of today, we can already see couples and some groups dining together.
So now let me share to you some of the photos I took from their galleries.
Can't resist to take home some of these cupcakes as "pasalubong" for my little boy. Sold at P35.00 each and the mini-heart cake which costs P180.00.
Cheers to TRT ladies: MommyGiay, Jinkee Umali, Aileen Siwa, Joy Felizardo and Aylin Vedad.

What do you mean roadtripper ladies? Is this a public group or a private group of friends you have?
ReplyDeleteThe characters of Precious Moments seem good to put in a baby girl's playroom.
Hi, Roadtripper is a closed group of travel bloggers.
DeleteI remember precious moments from the cards and figurines they create. The place would really be relaxing with all those cute faces in front of you.
ReplyDeletethose looks indeed so cute i've seen one before in bugis singapore i just want to buy all those figurines! love the cakes too lovely pastel colours everywhere!
ReplyDeleteAnmg cu-cute naman ng display nila. Yung foods oks din. BTW saan itong place na ito. Di ba magkapit-bahay lang naman tayo Sis.
ReplyDeletePapleng, the buses from LRT-Buendia going South passes-by this resto before they turn right to Osmena Hi-way.
Deletewow! its literally a feast of dolls...
ReplyDeleteIve lived in Palanan for quite some time, but I didnt know there such a place as this one.
Beautiful photos from Precious moments. the boy doll is so cute and the foods are inviting.
ReplyDeleteI may not be into dolls but I guess my girlfriend will see this place cute. Thanks for sharing, I might as well visit this someday.
ReplyDeleteYou must have had a great time. Scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize that this industry is still going strong. I see a lot of kids nowadays with the tech/digital versions of "old toys" - though I'd imagine old-school playthings like dolls are more for collectors now :)
ReplyDeleteCute place and lovely foods. I'll try to visit this place when in Makati soon.
ReplyDeletegreat escape before Valentine's seemed that kids the place would also be a cool place for kids
ReplyDeletePrecious Moments characters really bring me back to my childhood days of collecting stationery and other girly knick-knacks that were quite popular then.
ReplyDeletewow would love to visit this gallery.. i love the 3rd photo eh.. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty unique and new theme of restaurant for me. Their dishes looks so delicious too.
ReplyDeleteWow, a great place to shop and eat.The gallery reminds me of my childhood memories with Precious Moments.
ReplyDeleteI have grown up with Precious moments.. and I have been seeing their shops through different blogs and I've been wanting to visit it so bad.. it just reminds you of your childhood.. :)
ReplyDeleteI remember I know someone who collects these precious angels but I just can't recall who. If I remember the story right, she has an entire cabinet of these little darlings in her home. :P
ReplyDeleteIf only their location is more strategic, I'll take my young daughter there so she could appreciate dolls more than her mom's tablet.
