The food affair, my favorite kind of affair, started with some coffee and tea-infused cocktails
My Malongotini. Anything with coffee is love. ♥
Cheese and charcuterie station by JC de Terry
With the man himself, JC of Terry's
The Raffles Fairmont Ballroom was transformed into a mystical space with a lot of greens...
And pops of pink. Next to calla lilies, moth orchids are my favorite flowers! ♥
Town & Country gathered the most talented chefs in the metro to spoil us guests.

Hokkaido oysters with textures of watermelon, mustard seed, tapioca and kimchi
Chef Bruce also prepared a delicious seared prawns ague chile with tamale colado, chorizo and salsa de chirmol with uni and lobster cream. I forgot to take a photo. Ops.

Errr… Okay, this was not very "Town & Country" of me, but a fat girl's gotta do what a fat girl's gotta do
The dessert spread was overwhelmingly delightful! I didn't know where to start and when to stop. Lol! :D

Calamansi Valrhona Guanaja

I had a little bit of everything
And then some more. Check out the macaron burger and the cherry dipped in Iberico pork fat!
Everyone was pleased. Just look at the smiles.

The eating didn't stop that night. It continued on till I finished the last spoonful of calamansi curd.
(The memory stick was spared.)
Congratulations Alicia and the Town & Country team for an indeed very fabulous food affair! :)
