Singaporean delights liven up Waterfront’s CNY festivities

To bring in luck and prosperity this 2012, the hotel festivities started with a lively dragon dance by students of Davao Central High School, who traversed all four buildings passing by Waterfront Insular’s restaurants, function rooms and offices. But the highlight of the celebration was the exemplary New Year feast presented by Executive Chef Kiko Tugnao who excitedly told everyone to sample the expensive and most sought-after delicacy, the Shark’s Fin Soup.
Café Uno transformed into a mini-Chinatown with servers decked in their red cheongsams and bright Chinese lanterns on display. One of the honored guests of the night was Ms. Cherry Maning of Una Ka Bai, GMA Davao’s morning show. She sampled the Singaporean style Roast Peking Duck expertly wrapped in wanton baskets by Chef Stephen Reyes. Also in attendance that night were Mr. Sammy Uy and his family, as well as Ms. Jean Ang who celebrated with her brood. For those who missed last Sunday’s merriment, the food festivities continue as Café Uno’s lunch buffet spread features Singaporean and Chinese cuisine from January 23 to 31.
