Manila and Madrid Meet at The Pen.



A special dinner was prepared by Michelin Star Chef Mario Sandoval and Filipino culinary ambassador, Chef Myrna Segismundo at Old Manila of The Peninsula Manila last Saturday. 


The guests were served a six-course dinner that tickled our palate with Filipino and Spanish dishes.

The girls didn't mind the food coming out a bit late. Here we are stealing Chef Mario for an Instagram opportunity.  Follow him on IG @chefsandoval

Your bloggerina, Jane Dee, Chef Mario Sandoval, Kaye Tinga and Steffie Chong.

When Chef Jill Sandique came out, we also grabbed the opportunity to capture the moment. I absolutely love her Pistachio Sans Rival (call 7217022 to order). 
Chad Alarcon, Chef Jill Sandique, yours truly and Tim Yap.

Not only was it a night filled with good food, it was also a time to catch up with great friends.

To the most gracious host, thank you SFV.
