Eat, Drink & Be Merry!
Philippine Tatler|December 2018

Where to celebrate for the holidays? Shauna Jay Popple Williams pre-samples the festive offerings of the Shangri-La at the Fort for your Yuletide and New Year guidance

Eat, Drink & Be Merry!

Aye, it’s that cheerful, toss-yourdiets-out-of-the-window time of the year again. At the commencement of the “‘ber” months, our social calendars have slowly, but surely, filled up—and perhaps we have neglected to lock in a Christmassy and delicious plan for Noche Buena (Midnight Feast), Christmas lunch or dinner. Let us not forget a sparkly toast to the New Year with loved ones for that matter!

For three years now, the five-star property has pulled out all the stops for the Christmas holidays, from festive treats and sumptuous banquets, to warm and fuzzy staycation offers. General Manager John Rice couldn’t have said it better. “This is something we look forward to at Shangri-La at the Fort each year. We go through each detail of the season—from the crafting of the menus, to creating the seasonal beverages, and exploring designs for our décor. We understand that this time of the year is very special to our guests, colleagues, and friends.”
