Life is a celebration with Cravings Luxe

MANILA, Philippines - Cravings, a well-loved restaurant for home-cooked meals and memorable events, introduces its Luxe Line, a special line of catering and setups for those with sophisticated and discriminating tastes. Aside from giving your guests the best dishes from starters to desserts, fill their eyes with satisfaction and admiration with the various event setups especially prepared by chef and events consultant EA Tejada for Cravings.

Dine like royalty and treat your guests to an extravaganza of tastes and images with Renaissance. Tejada patterned it after the lavish noir soirees of the ‘20s to ‘30s.   “The colors are very regal, the centerpieces are lavish, as if champagne and good food flowed generously,” said EA Tejada.

Give that earthy, royal flavor to your party with Nouvelle Saison, a setup for those with a penchant for chic and style. “It will remind you of Marie Antoinette’s ornate garden parties, full of organic colors like brown and green, as seen in the linens,” added Tejada. Bouquets of flowers in tall, flawless vases, surrounded by the warm glow of candles, add an element of majesty and grace.

 Kiddie birthday parties can be more fun with Sparkletown, a setup that will put that unforgettable smile on your kid’s face as he or she shares it with playmates. “What inspired me with this setup is my childhood fascination for balloons. Isn’t it a child’s sweetest desire to bring home a loot bag full of toys and candies and that one single balloon from a children’s party?” he added. 

Even corporate affairs like business lunches, executive dinners and conferences can be given that touch of class with Corporate Chic. 

“Why settle for the usual packed meals when you can give your clients and members of your company an impressive first-class setup? Corporate Chic is a departure from the usual business dining,” Tejada quipped.

Of course, dining fare is of utmost importance, so Cravings is offering not just the usual buffet template where everything is on a lined table. Chef Marjorie Domingo of Cravings Catering and Events reveals that there will be more food stations.

“Sometimes with a single table setup, everyone has to wait in line until someone is over in filling his plate. Separate food stations not only decongest queues of hungry people, but they also offer choices to those who don’t want to be limited with what is on the buffet,” she explained. Clients can elevate the festive atmosphere of the event with buffet complements and interactive live stations, such as sushi, paella and lechon, pasta, barbecue and carving stations of maple-glazed ham, roasted lamb, turkey or rib eye of beef. Dessert stations of intricately designed cupcakes, fruit tarts and fudge brownies, chocolate fountains, or an ice cream and frosted java bar put that crowning glory to a grand occasion.

 Clients may choose to avail of the Luxe Line set-ups complemented with standard amenities in any of the Cravings Group venues, including: C3 Events Place in Greenhills, San Juan; Oceana in SM Mall of Asia; Cravings Hall in Katipunan Avenue; and Seven Suites Hotel and Observatory in Antipolo City.
