Jet-setters unite in society lounge
The style-savvy Philippine Cancer Society Best Dressed Women of the Philippines 2010 awardee Salome Uy and her well-traveled group of friends who have gone to Europe, Tokyo and Singapore to taste the best cuisine and avail of exciting shopping sprees recently included upscale dining and lounge spot Society Lounge in their prime destination list. A brainchild of Patrice Freuslon, Andren Dizon, Jason Choachuy and Kerwin Yap, Society Lounge is known for its cozy and chic ambiance plus savory dishes inspired by French fashion food prepared by seasoned chef and general manager Patrice Freuslon. After all, Patrice has honed his culinary skills as executive chef at the Le Berloiz in Grenoble, France, Maxim’s des Mers and Restaurant L’Olive D’Or in Saint-Maxime, France and as a pastry chef at the Hotel Hyatt Regency in Texas before deciding to present his expertise here in the Philippines. The Society Lounge also boasts an art collection in which the works of the talented artist, Ivan Acuña is prominently displayed. After the sumptuous dinner, the group hit the lounge for hours of chatting about their global escapades over sparkling champagne and vintage wines. Surely, every gathering in Society Lounge is bound to be perfect. Cheers!
