Noel’s Homecoming!

Monday, December 28th, 2009

What I love about Christmas is that so many friends from all over the world come home to celebrate Christmas. There is nothing like a Filipino Christmas!  We just know how to celebrate this important holiday like no other race on the planet!

I recently had the pleasure to join a super chic homecoming dinner for one of our dearest friends Noel de la Rama!  Noel has not been home for more than a decade, he resides in New York and is a personal chefs for super famous people.  Currently he is the personal chef of Mr. Dustin Hoffman!   Noel is like my own personal Zagat guide, giving me tips on the latest, hottest, best eats in New York City!   Apart from that Noel is really one great guy!  We all love him!

He decided to surprise his best friend Junie Rodriguez with his home coming!  Tita Fe ( Junie’s Mom) was in cahoots with the whole surprise!  The evening was an immense success!  The meal was lovingly prepared amidst the most chic environment!  Tita Fe & Junie are really my personal life style heroes!
