After the success of the first RSVP Lifestyle Asia coffee table book, the magazine launched the second edition featuring more tablescapes and entertaining tips from the best hosts and hostesses in Manila. NOBU was closed down for the occasion where gourmet Japanese cuisine inspired by traditional teatime snacks were served. The restaurant located at the City of Dreams complex arranged for tables to have a modern, minimalist setup adorned with fresh blooms. As an extra treat, the room smelled of Jo Malone as candles released aromas of their signature London scents. Wine and champagne were the preferred beverage instead tea as the celebration went on till sundown. Manila traffic was merely circumstantial as old friends decided to extend their stay for good conversation about the art of entertaining.
