My bestie, David Ackerman, hosted and planned such a lovely birthday celebration for me at Papillon in Makati. This city hotspot was transformed into a cozy gastronomic getaway for esteemed guests and luminaries all invited by our host!
We enjoyed an exclusive Southeast Asian menu and sipped the best spirits to our heart’s content, including Primo’s Ackerman Macallan bottles — a signature to his parties. Closed off from the rest of the world, we were happily lost in our conversations! Finally, I made a wish on the most beautiful and whimsical cake. A great final detail to a well-planned and gorgeous evening with friends. I can’t thank you enough, Primo! I enjoyed every bite and laughter. Cheers!
