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.

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.
