When two chefs get married, expect a feast for the senses
THE BIG DAY Don and Monica’s grandiose ceremony screams elegance
In a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of crystal, glass, and silver, made more lush by a forest of pale blooms in white, lavender, peach, and marigold, the ballroom was decked out in the style of a modern Hong Kong wedding, more wow even without a strict dress code requiring black ties and long gowns. Fresh flowers hanging from the lofty ceiling and cascading from the gold-trimmed Venetian crystal chandeliers added an air of opulence to the ritzy ballroom.
Also in attendance were Ilonggo cuisine and culture champion Tibong Jardaleza, Richmonde Hotel Iloilo general manager Nat Lim, journalist Jaclyn Clemente-Koppe, Made Nice co-owner Raul Forés, Tipple and Slaw owner Francis Lim, and the Manila Bulletin Lifestyle editor AA Patawaran.

A tantalizing tango of taste and texture, the roasted Hong Kong goose was also fall-off-the-bone tender. ‘I believe this marriage will cook very well. For one, I have seen many weddings in my life but Don is the only groom I have ever met who seems as excited about the wedding as the bride.’
