22 August 2005(moved from Yahoo!360)- Marc hosted(well, semi-host, marc, your evite was truly misleading) a dinner for Yvette's birthday last weekend. The usual suspects were rounded up with Monique, Wesley, Aimee, Richie, Gia, Jose, and Diane(last two names fictitious as I can't recall who they were). As usual Romy Dorotan(chef) and his wife Amy outdid themselves with wonderfully inventive New Filipino food. They had been having a doldrum of a summer until they got a two-star review in the Times by Frank Bruni. Nowadays, no rest for the weary. As each order came to the table it elicited a low "wow!" from everyone. But what drew more ooohs were the sides which Romy just kept on bringing as he thought one side would complement one dish on the table for all to experience. And this did not stop even after dessert with great buko pie, avocado ice cream( what a blast from the past!) and finally champagne. What a guy!
