Eating well is feeling well

- Johnny Litton -

“The healthiest response to life is joy.” Deepak Chopra

Recognizing the global shift towards lean cuisine, the legendary Dusit Thani Manila has invited celebrated television chef and author Daniel Green to take over the luxury hotel’s kitchen to introduce its new “Eat Well, Feel Well” program. This innovative approach to healthy hotel cuisine aims to provide guests with a low-fat gastronomic selection to encourage healthy eating, today’s preferred lifestyle choice among global travelers. Tuna nicoise, salsa sea bass, poached pears and a low-fat crème brulee are just some of the many healthier and more creative dishes featured in the ala carte menu of Tosca restaurant and room service. 

Seen at the grand launch were US Ambassador Harry Thomas Jr., Philippine Hoteliers, Inc. president Gerhard Kropp with vice chairman Evelyn Singson and Dusit Thani Manila GM Prateek Kumar.

Thank you, Dusit Thani Manila, for switching to non-fattening gourmet meals, full of flavor and great eye-appeal!

Hats on!

The inimitable First Credit Consultants Corp. president Grace Palma Tiongco threw a one-of-a-kind Hats On! fun lunch at the stunningly elegant Society Lounge for her long-time friends. Leave it to Grace for such novelty party ideas!

A heartwarming afternoon

Fine ladies from Manila’s A-list society stay in touch with one another through constant get togethers. Recently, the group led by the gracious Minerva Tanseco feted the amiable Carrie Bautista to a luncheon at the Manila Polo Club during one of her visits to Manila. It was one memorable afternoon indeed as everyone enjoyed catching up and sharing stories over a delectable Spanish buffet!
