Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila welcomes 2017 with a series of events.
The Christmas spirit has finally hit me with so many tree-lighting festivities and charity bazaars in different hotels. After checking out the options for ornaments and color schemes, I have decided to make Paris as the theme of our décor.
It was a Tour de France but the bicycles roaming about were not in competitive mode because the riders were merely showing off the products offered. And the route was only within Sofitel’s Spiral.
For Mother’s Day, the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila asked popular cooks and chefs to share family recipes, which were then interpreted by the kitchen staff at Spiral, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant.
Transforming into different characters is one of the thrilling challenges of changing costumes. The complexity increases when the chameleoning needs to be done in a day.
Mother’s Day can be considered a commercial event much like Valentine’s Day. But if it does remind us what the mother is to a family, then it is a worthwhile event.
Dishes are set on the La Veranda bar, each one the recipe of a mother, grandmother, even a great-grandmother. These are the family dishes of the chefs and outlet manager of Sofitel Philippine Plaza, presented to highlight the celebration of Mother’s Day.
After over a year of restoration work, the Spiral, which has been damaged by Typhoon “Pedring,” is finally reopening on Nov. 8.
With Mother’s Day less than two weeks away, one can expect department stores, restaurants and hotels to come up with ways to woo the first lady in our lives.
Few things can make me get up early on a Sunday morning. Spiral’s champagne brunch is one of them.
