Manila by Night



I went to Socialista last Thursday/Friday. I'm glad it has a safe crowd, still. Beer is P45 still, too. I liked the Tanduay rum there.

A new bar/resto beside Shrimps Ahoy, Harbour Square

There are new developments in the Manila area that I haven't been to. Check out Harbour Square, beside CCP Theater near Star City. It's like Metrowalk in Ortigas Center. Beer is pretty affordable, too. P180 for a bucket of 6. A Red Horse is P45.

It was my first time to explore Pasay area. It was difficult to find a place where there is karaoke and al fresco (out of the ordinary Music 21). But we did find one. It's a small place across the EDSA International Entertainment Complex and is quite safe and decent in a sense that there are no almost naked girls serving you. Just plain videoke and beer place. It has the authentic Pasay feel to it. Vendors selling peanuts and fish crackers are allowed to sell inside. The way to put it is that, this is the opposite of posh and is one of those places where the masang masa go to. A song costs P5.00 but they have listening songs and songs you can sing along with so do choose your sing-along songs wisely.

Indian Walking Tour

Little India in Manila

We got to enter a real Hindu temple where they were celebrating the festival of colors. We also went in an Indian Sikh Temple where we got treated to a nice meal of Indian food. On my way home, got to wondering if wine drinking was legal in India.

I was amazed that India produces its own wine. It is also interesting to know that the nearest "Indian" cocktail would be classic gin and tonic, a result of British colonialism in the area. I have tried it with a dash of cayenne powder and it was great. Try it.

Penguin




Found myself here at around 2 AM of Saturday (I'm just guessing but it was definitely after 1 AM). Penguin is along Remedios, Malate, Manila City. I just had a glass of water here (had rhum and diet coke at a housewarming party in Katipunan already). But I think a bottle of SML is at P50.

There are bands who play here. Reminds me of Makati's Saguijo.
