Chateau 1771's 25th Anniversary Party and Behind the Doors of Chateau Book Launch

Last Saturday, I got an invite to celebrate Chateau 1771's 25th Anniversary and Behind the Doors of Chateau Book Launch.  Being such a great fan of the 1771 Group, I just couldn't say no.  You could check my review on their Sentro 1771 and Wine Bar 1771 if you wish. 

The party was held at Ayala Museum.  It was a first visit for me.  As expected, the 1771 Group sure knows how to throw a party. 

A short presentation of testimonials and documentation about pioneers Ricky and Vicky were shown.

Then, the book Behind the Doors of Chateau was presented.  The first publication is limited to only 1,000 copies and I'm one of the lucky ones to grab one.

I also got to have them authographed by Vicky herself.  I'm so happy! =) The book is really nice.  It is a 224-page full colored book.  I've already read through half of it and found it really engaging.  It literally transports me behind the doors of Chateau and into the kitchen which I've never been to before.  When I dine at the 1771 Group of Restaurants, I see perfection.  But, little did I know that each dish holds a long story which we could only find out by reading the book.

My mom is very pleased with the recipes on the end part of the book.  I simply can't help but drool over the photos and certainly can't wait for my mom to try to make them.

The party was overflowing with fine wines, frutis and cheese.

There was a wide spread of buffet from appetizers to dessert. 

This is my appetizer plate which I ate with delight.  

Here's my main entree.

And, of course, my chocolatey dessert plate.

Overall, it was a successful Chateau 1771's 25th Anniversary Party and Behind the Doors of Chateau Book Launch.  I wish them well and look forward to their upcoming expansions and success.
