For noted restaurateur and food entrepreneur Rikki Dee, hitting the milestone of 59 is the big birthday to celebrate. Family and friends readily agreed, and wife Beng made certain that this would be a party to remember—the last one before Rikki turns Senior Citizen!

Speaking of Beng, she surprised everyone (including herself) by learning how to play the piano and singing a special birthday song for Rikki. For many, it was Beng’s musical number, and not the surprise mini-concert from Gary Valenciano, that was the note-worthy highlight of the night. One of the most fun birthday celebrations of the year.
