Amused with THE Ms. Bella Yuchengco

When Dennis told me that miss Bella is inviting me for a dinner Hindi na ako nag dalawang isip. I said yes right away coz i know makakakain na naman ako ng super fabulous food! Coz i know for a fact That ms. Bella cooks superb food, I've tried it before when candy invited me to have dinner at her place 3 years ago and until now hindi ko makaklimutan that dinner. Super sarap talaga the food!  haha!My bestfriend Candy once said she is the Martha Stewart in the Philippines and i strongly agree! Miss Bella has a very fine taste when it comes to food and in fashion as well. On our way to her house it was super raining parang bumabagyo! pero fight pa din kami! walang nakapigil sa amin! haha

The dinner was for her sister Liza Yuchengco and husband Llyod  Lacuesta, Liza is a Film maker based in the states and Founder of Philippine International Aid (PIA) a charity based in the US that helps the less-fortunate children in manila. They have scholars here in manila. Every year they have a PIA fashion in San Francisco, California. And fortunately i become part of their show in the states two years in a row. Thanks for that wonderful experience. Ms. liza is here for the CINEMALAYA FILM FESTIVAL, for her documentary "Marilou Diaz-Abaya: Filmmaker on a voyage'' And its showing july 23, 9pm at the CCP.

Going back to ms. Bella, she is a very very talented chef/cook and a very gracious host and she is the mother of the super pretty chef Sunshine Puey-Pengson, The wife of my super crush chef Rob Pengson, they both own the fabulous The Goose Station(at the fort) and the newly opened Gourmandise a Parisian style patissirie in serendra infront of Market market. A must try!
