During the launch held at the Grand Ballroom, four stations of authentic food choices were personally manned by chefs brought in from the JW Marriott hotels in Bangkok and Jakarta, and Renaissance hotels in Kuala Lumpur and Saigon. Seen enjoying the aromatic mix of spicy, rich, sweet and hot flavors of Asia were Resorts World Manila president Kingson Sian, Etihad Airways Philippines country manager Bobby Hukom, Ensogo chief executive officer Alejandro Cruz and Jewelmer’s Mia Macapagal and Penelope Uy.
