I welcome Thanksgiving every year as a chance to thank the good Lord for His bountiful blessings.  I offer daily novena masses that culminate on my birthday and also celebrate for at least 10 days with different groups of friends.

And so there it is — our amuse bouche on the table in this beautiful dining room at the City of Dreams Manila’s Crown Towers hotel. It doesn’t look anything like what you’d expect. Called “The Forest,” it looks like a terrarium with branches impaled on the grass floor and bearing goodies like Iberico ham, apple curry chips, salmon candy, Gorgonzola cheese with almond crumble, tapioca chips with beetroot and wasabi marbling served with Rouille sauce flavored with saffron and garlic.
