Last Saturday evening, Bordeaux Bar Restaurant in Burgos Circle St. at the Fort had a grand inauguration. Burgos Circle is the new area in the Fort that resembles Remedios Circle of Manila in ambience. The inauguration saw the V family rubbing elbows with Manila’s young cocktail crowd. Present at the cocktail were personalities the likes of Senator Chiz Escudero and ANC newscaster Ricky Carandang who cut the ribbon.The new bar is owned by a group of four persons. And to everyone's surprise, one of the owners is Chef Edgy Narvaez. Yes, Edgy N is now not only an IT mainstream guy (for HP) . He is also a Chef, a proprietor by night giving vent to his dreams of owning a restaurant business. Proud mama Gina V was there attending to guests from the V family. Those who came include Edgy's brothers, and their partners, aunts, cousins and friends who came to the inew place for the event.
Edgy promptly showed off the restaurant to his Tita - Bili V - when she arrived. The restaurant interior was tastefully decked in classic European motif. While they served steak dinners and tapas, Bordeaux’s main fare is really all kinds of wine especially formulated for the Pinoy palate. (This is trade info from Bordeaux's wine supplier Isa Gaufo who I happened to interview). Naturally, wine was free-flowing during the inauguration. Through out the evening, much drinks, canapés and even roasted calf slices were offered to the guests. Having their fill after long hours in the event, Ila V and Bili V eventually went home for the night. Ila V was sleeping over in Greenmeadows since she has an activity in the area the next day.
The next morning, the effect of the night before was evident. Bili V is wondering why she was not up to it when she woke up rather late. Ila V was also unusually waking up later in the morning than she usually does. I guess they now know the meaning of the word ‘hangover’.
