This function is a direct result of our "Barbeque Dinner at Chez Sison (Jun Sison's house)" in February and conceived to be a Filipino dinner with a Negrense bent and flair, much like the popular "Dinner at the White House (Jorge Araneta's home)" in July 2009, owing to word going around that the Illongos in our midst who have tried Pia's chicken inasal thought that it was the best they had tasted. Complementing it at a dinner was Alex's paella. Consequently, a dinner for the Society was built around these two dishes with celebrated restaurateur, Gaita Fores, also an Illongga, happily agreeing to cook with the couple. Our immediate past president, Bernie Sim, and our venerable Wine Master for over 20 years, with fellow wine experts - Freddie Pio de Roda, Jay Labrador and Alex - at our mandatory pre-function tasting dinner, have worked out the wine pairing. All this makes for an exciting event. Furthermore, the hosts suggests that we should cap our dinner and enjoy our Port with cigars.
