Jessica Sanchez, the Filipina-American singer-songwriter who rose to prominence following her finish as first runner-up on the eleventh season of American Idol is set to debut in Salon de Ning of The Peninsula Manila for a one night concert on May 25, Thursday at 8:30 pm. The California-raised singer-songwriter has released one album and numerous singles, performed for former United States president Barack Obama and his family at the White House, and guest starred in the hit comedy-drama TV series Glee. Jessica Sanchez’s Salon de Ning show, entitled “Jessica Sanchez Live in Salon de Ning” will be a night of the music and stories that shaped Jessica. She will be singing the hits of Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys, Roberta Flack, and her original compositions. She will be accompanied by her musical director Adonis Tabanda and the band Day One. Tickets are prices at P3,500 and inclusive of a two-hour long open bar.
The Turkish Embassy and The Peninsula Manila are mounting a Turkish Food Festival in Escolta Buffet Restaurant from May 23 to 27, 2023. Shaped by more than a thousand years of diverse cultures and traditions, social heritage and stories, Türkiye presents its exquisite and diverse flavors to the world through the “Turkish Cuisine Week” food festival. On the occasion of the centennial anniversary of the Republic of Türkiye, “Turkish Cuisine Week” will be celebrated throughout the world for the second consecutive year from May 21 to 27 and aims to introduce Türkiye’s rich gastronomic culture to a broad global audience through the embassies and consulates of the Republic of Türkiye.
This year’s special menu consists of local dishes from the city of Antakya (with the ancient name of Antioch) in Hatay province, which is included in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network and renowned for its diverse cuisine. Boasting more than 650 dishes, Hatay’s gastronomy is a Mediterranean cuisine characterized by its use of fresh vegetables, quality olive oil, legumes, and cereals. As Hatay’s cuisine is the showpiece of this year’s Turkish Cuisine Week, Escolta’s different buffet stations will feature mouth-watering Biberli Ekmek (flatbread with red pepper paste), Zeytin Salatası (green olive salad), Hummus (mixed chickpeas and tahini dip), Mucver (Turkish zucchini fritters), Muska Boregi (spinach and cheese filo parcels), Tepsi Kebabı (oven-baked kebab), and Kayısı Tatlısı (stuffed dried apricot with clotted cream and walnut), among many others. The buffet selection will also showcase other regional Turkish dishes that will be prepared using local ingredients and traditional cooking techniques. It will showcase all aspects of Turkish cuisine, including Turkish coffee, Turkish tea, and the most quintessential of all Turkish sweets – Turkish Delight.
Escolta’s Turkish Cuisine Week will not only feature authentic and unique recipes but also highlight the philosophy of sustainability of one of the oldest and richest cuisines in the world, which emphasizes natural healthy local products and a waste-free palate. Those eager to experience a taste of Türkiye can dine in Escolta Buffet Restaurant from May 23 to 27. Lunch rate is at P2,600 per person while dinner is at P3,000 per person. The Peninsula Manila Turkish Food Festival would not be possible without the generous support of the “Turkish Cuisine Week” partners – Turkish Airlines and The Peninsula Istanbul – who are donating a round-trip ticket to Istanbul and a two-night stay at The Peninsula Istanbul for guest diners to win.

On 'Idol,' you have to show off your vocal abilities, so I stuck to the ballads, so I'm glad my first single is 'Tonight' so I can show off my fun, young side, and what I want to do as an artist.
