24-Hour Tagaytay Hangout

After a dinner at Plato Platina, Blue Wave, my friend William suggested go to Tagaytay. And so we did (at 2 in the morning!). We took the Santa Rosa exit and turned right after the Tagaytay market. This place is past where Mushroom Burger is but is also on the left side of the road from Manila.

Beer, bulalo and breeze. Beat that.

Homer's

Last month, we were invited to a gig of Jeepney Joyride. The trumpeteer, Melvin, asked us to go to Homer's which was near ABS-CBN in Quezon City. Beer was dirt cheap! Local bands, not the show band kind of bands, played. And it is open 24/7. Limitado, a line of limited items designed by actor-comedian Tado is sold in a corner. The witty remarks on the shirts go very well with how Homer's is. Simple pero rock!

Chocolate and Brandy

I love the blog of Kris Alcantara! She is one woman who is crazy about chocolates and is kind enough to share no-bake recipes once a week. Here is something she did with brandy, Fudge Brownies.

I have to admit that I don't drink as much brandy if it was for the sake of happiness. I generally prefer gin over brandy. But because I was so inspired of Kris' entry, I decided to give brandy a twist. I mixed in two spoons of chocolate syrup and a spoon of fresh milk into a glass with brandy and ice cubes. I made mint tea and poured it into the mixture. Tadaah! Creamy Chocolate Mint Tea Brandy. Well, it may remind you of Bailey's but this is not as sweet. Try it.
