Youth with A Future 2014

What a very beautiful and meaningful event last March 18 at the Enderun tent.  It’s really a totally different affair when there is a cause behind it and that’s what made it special.  

 

Thank you Enderun Colleges, Ducasse Education and Ducasse Institute Philippines!  

I noticed a very attentive Chef Alain.  He is very attentive to everything.  I even saw him going to the kitchen – probably checking on the food preparation.  The ambience and the mood of the event was set by him and I could feel it and it’s really the type of feeling that’s warm, friendly and full of love.  It was no ordinary dinner.  I truly enjoyed the evening and I am sure everyone did

I am peeping through the curtains watching the Enderun staff preparing and I saw my friend, Suzette there 🙂  I am so proud!  She is my friend! 🙂 

Founders of Enderun Javi Infante and Jack Tuason with his wife Luccia

Thank you to all those who attended and went for a good cause

The hardworking team that put together a wonderful meal

Our table

  My hardworking batch mate and table mate, Tricia Tensuan, who organised all of this for Enderun and Chef Alain Ducasse!  Congrats Tricia!!!  I am sure it was all worth it 

The best meal is a meal made with love, for love, and that’s what we had.  Very delicious and very meaningful.  

 

The amount of support from all the sponsors was overflowing

Beautiful centerpieces made by Margarita Fores using the herbs from Tuloy Foundation gardens.  At the end of the dinner, these were auctioned off too.  An envelope was placed in the middle of the table for any donation to take home the centerpiece


Before the dinner was the silent auction and after dinner was the live auction.  This has got to be one of the funnest and most exciting auctions I have attended.  

Our hosts for the evening, JJ Yulo and Xandra Rocha.  Thank you JJ for accepting the task to host last minute and to Xandra who even if she was not feeling too well, she really did a great job and it was not even obvious.  Everyone gave their heart and soul that evening.  It was so nice!

Chef Jerome and Chef Alain discussing – Instead of just auctioning one dinner for 10 persons by Chef Jerome, they made it two dinners.  Each dinner went for P 200,000.00 for a total of P 400,000.00!  

I loved our table 🙂  They were bidding and bidding 🙂 Happy Birthday to Chef Jay Gamboa who was celebrating that evening and also won in the auction a dinner for two in Beige Alain Ducasse in Tokyo!!
