Deep Sunsets at Vask

Vask has been one of the romantic places that I know in BGC. Recently, they came up with a new concept called "Deep Sunsets" which happens every Sunday.

Must-Try Restaurants in Lio, El Nido (6/7): Pukka Bar

If you are into steak nights and nightlife, then Pukka Bar is the go-to place in Lio. 

Must-Try Restaurants in Lio, El Nido (3/7): Manille Beach Bar

This is probably my favorite bar in Lio, featuring the quality products of Destileria Limtuaco & Co., Inc. 

Cable Car (Tomas Morato)

We were invited by Cable Car Tomas Morato during their Valentine's Day event to try our their original and signature cocktails, dishes and my favorite part, beer pong! 

DJ Snake in Manila

Last December 09, 2016, DJ Snake was live in Manila at The Palace Pool Club. I had mixed emotions about the event because it was supposed to be Neverland Manila. Neverland Manila was supposed to be a two-night rave having 17 international DJs with Martin Garrix as the headliner for the first night and DJ Snake for the second night.

Road to Ultra: Philippines (2016)

Last September 17, 2016, Road to Ultra Philippines (RTUPH) was held at the Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena. I must say that for a raver, I felt ambivalent in attending due to the last-minute changes in the event (I already had tickets and almost planned to sell them instead), but it was a good thing that I still gave it a go.

121

It was my first time to be invited for a foodie quiz night hosted by Zomato at 121 Bonifacio Stopover. Located at the third floor of BGC Stopover Pavillion, Rizal Drive corner 31st Street, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, this is 121's newest branch in the Metro, 

Normally, they host their quiz nights at Allegro branch (this one is an exemption). I also figured out that they were the first ones to introduce beer pong here in the Philippines (cool, right?). 

I had so much fun during the quiz night, and these are what we had:
121 Scandal. 121's special house recipe. Very refreshing but can get you drunk without your noticing it.

Lumpiang Shanghai. It was good with the right crunch but the meat was slightly undercooked.

Chicken Binakol. There were huge chunks of coconut in the binakol which I enjoyed. The chicken is also good but I find the soup a bit salty compared to the usual chicken binakol that I was used to.

Tuyo Fried Rice. This was really fragrant. You could smell the tuyo from afar, but it was surprisingly not salty which was a good thing. Tastes just right with the rice and was not overpowering. It has a bit of spice in it which works well with the other dishes served in 121. 

Grilled Pork Liempo. It was really good and was tender. Goes well with the 121 sauce.

121 Sauce. 121's own sauce recipe. Tastes like Knorr seasoning with soy sauce and calamansi. 

Sizzling Beef Salpicao. This is really tasty. The beef is tender and juicy. Mushrooms are juicy. Crunchy minced garlic with a good spice. 

White Chocolate Cheesecake. Cold and sweet, I liked the idea of combining white chocolate and cheesecake. Not too sweet, tastes average. Graham base is also average.

Rue Bourbon (Salcedo)


Working in Manila could be very stressful especially due to the traffic problem that we have been experiencing lately. It's about time that we unwind with our friends and pass the time at a good bar on a weekend. Last week, we decided to try Rue Bourbon (Salcedo Branch). 

FHM Bro Con After Party at House Manila


Last July 11, 2015 the FHM BroCon and 100 Sexiest Victory Party was held at the SMX Convention Center. The BroCon kinda like your usual convention events, only this time you get to meet the FHM girls. We skipped the convention and the yearly FHM fashion show and headed on to House Manila where the after party is being held.

HOUSE Manila


Going away from my usual clubbing comfort zone (The Fort), I headed farther south at Newport City to party in one of their newest clubs, House Manila. I barely go to Newport/Resorts World because of its distance from my crib, but my friend who is also a promoter at House insisted that I try it out (and to also support her with her career..say what?).

Rehab Gastrobar: The Ward Room


Had a random invite from a friend to try out the new Gastrobar in Mandaluyong: Rehab. We dropped by the place at around 10 in the evening on a Tuesday. Rehab was a bit hard to find because it wasn't located along commercial areas.

12 Monkeys Music Hall & Pub


Last week, my friend invited me at 12 Monkeys for her birthday celebration. 12 Monkeys is one of the latest hangout places for OPM bands in the Metro. That night, the bands Giniling Festival, Pulso, and Up Dharma Down were to play on stage. We arrived there at 8:30pm with a table reservation and was charged 300 Php per head for our entrance. I learned that the place gives all that they have collected from the door charges to the bands.
