It’s a Lu-Wow Anniversary Party for Seda Centrio
LOOKING for a good year-ender celebration before you welcome the New Year? Seda Centrio Hotel has exactly what you are looking for. A Lu-WoW Birthday Treat To celebrate its 4th birthday, the Seda Centrio family has come up with a special treat for everyone. On December 29, you are invited to celebrate with them with a grand Lu-WoW dinner at Misto. The Hawaiian-themed party will have you and your loved ones enjoying Seda’s sumptuous buffet, along with spectacular live entertainment such as a Tahitian dance number and an exciting fire dance that will be held in the 4th floor outdoor area near the pool. Apart from this, you’ll also get to enjoy surprises and a raffle draw where you can win gift vouchers from Seda for Misto’s special buffet, plus an overnight stay in one of the hotel’s posh and well-furnished rooms. A Special Hawaiian Treat Seda’s Lu-WoW celebration is a reference to the Hawaiian luau, which is a feast that showcases local food along with island music and hula dances. Thus, the dinner buffet will feature mouthwatering Hawaiian cuisine. Enjoy some of Hawaii’s most popular dishes, which feature a variety of flavors and colors. Hawaiian cuisine, like the Kalua pig or pork, which is the centerpiece of every luau, uses Hawaiian salt or Hawaiian Red Salt. Poke, another popular dish, is prepared using yellowfin tuna, seaweed, soy sauce, kukui nut, and sesame oil. Hawaiians like seafood like Poke, which is actually raw fish. Laulau is pork, chicken, or fish that is wrapped in layers of taro leaves. The meat is tender, juicy, and mouthwatering because it is cooked for hours in an underground rock oven. If you love fruits, especially pineapple, you’ll like Hawaiian food because every meal must come with a fruit or two. Aside from pineapple, the passion fruit or liliko is also popular in Hawaiian cuisine. Like Filipino food, Hawaiian cuisine is a fusion of dishes brought to the island by different cultures. You can experience all these when you join See seda, page A11
