An extraordinary gustatory feast

The ever gracious couple, Zambia Consul Luis Ablaza and Guatemala Consul Mellie Ablaza, recently treated several of their close friends from the diplomatic, business and social circles to a gastronomic boodle fight lunch at their palatial home in the family-owned estate Hacienda Amelia in Alfonso, Cavite.

The exclusive gathering was the couple’s way of expressing their gratitude to their many friends who continuously share their time and talent for the couple’s various projects.

Guests were truly delighted with the delicious spread of well-loved Filipino dishes prepared by chef Jessie Sincioco.

Until the next luncheon, Louie and Mellie!
