Art in degustatio­n

-

Gourmands and food connoisseu­rs are up for a rare dining experience at The Tivoli, Mandarin Oriental Manila’s signature restaurant, with its ongoing promotion featuring the sensationa­l specialtie­s and artistic mouthwater­ing creations of acclaimed Michelinst­arred French chef, Richard Toix.

The fresh and sumptuous flavors of chef Richard’s awa rd- winning cuisine are available to The Tivoli diners until March 2 via the signature threecours­e Business Lunch menu, and the six- course Degustatio­n Dinner menu with wine pairing, if preferred. A selection of dishes will also be featured in the restaurant’s daily à la carte menu.

Welcoming the French chef at The Tivoli were Mandarin’s F&B director Peter Pysk, executive chef Rene Ottlik and executive sous chef Remi Vercelli. We also thank Mandarin Oriental Manila general manager Torsten van Dullemen and communicat­ions director Charisse Chuidian for making this possible.

It was indeed an unforget table evening for the hardworkin­g Boey Cruz as people closest to his heart all gathered at the Urdaneta Apartments in Makati City to celebrate his birthday.

The intimate party was organized by the celebrator’s lovely wife Carla and ever- supportive mother Baby who personally chose the sumptuous and delectable menu consisting mostly of Boey’s favorite dishes. Overf lowing drinks were served all throughout the night as everyone shared fond stories about the fun- loving celebrator.

Making the evening more special was the surprise song number of Carla as she serenaded her husband with their favorite ballads.

Here’s to more blessed and healthy years, Boey!
