Soju, So Good

This bottle of Soju, a JINRO CHAMISUL ORIGINAL SOJU, has been sitting on top of my fridge since last weekend. Finally opened it today, at lunch. And boy, it was good even if it was at room temperature! I got this bottle for Php75 at a newly opened Korean Grocery store along Pioneer, Mandaluyong City, Philippines, across Joey Pepperoni.

We have been wanting to redeem a box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts since last weekend and finally did so last night. I think doughnuts are good with beer (and soju!) as these carbs balance the bitterness, and the oils line your stomach. However, while it makes drinking more enjoyable, it is most unhealthy.

I will stick with the soju.

R&J Bulalohan

Along Boni Avenue, Mandaluyong City (across Mandaluyong City Hospital and Chow King), this is one place where we frequent to. Not for the beers, though. Not yet at least. It has a very provincial ambiance to it. Mixed crowd. Walls are peppered with photos and autographs of celebrities who have celebrated with or at R&J (they cater, too).

A bucket costs P192 only. Open 24 hours. Cheap food. With a karaoke machine.

I want to try the Tanduay Ice, soon.
