San Miguel Oktoberfest 2011: Manila Kick-off

It was the grandest and biggest San Miguel Oktoberfest that I have ever seen for several reasons:

1. The venue was so big that it was able to accommodate almost 25,000 people
2. San Miguel Oktoberfest brought back the highlight to its different beers available and not just focused on big bands and performers on stage
3. It was the first time that different tents were placed that housed the different beer brands and showcased each brand's personality
4. Tickets were very affordable at only P50,00 each with 3 free cups of the limited edition San Miguel Oktoberfest beer already
5. And the best part of it is that they sold the beer at P10.00 per cup only. 

Props to the team that made Oktoberfest happen. But the partying is not over as the provincial legs will still be implemented on the following dates:

October 14 - Limketkai, Cagayan de Oro
October 15 - Nepo Complex, Angeles Pampanga
October 28 - Paseo De Sta. Rosa, Laguna

Cosmo Bachelor Bash 2011

I have never seen so many shirtless men in my life.

The Cosmo Bachelor Bash held at World Trade Center last Sept. 14 was a feast of hunks and celebrities.

I will let the pictures do the talking...

Thank you San Mig Light!

LZM Restaurant offers the Best Bulalo

What is a sure sign that you liked the food in a restaurant? Driving to Tagaytay 2 consecutive weekends and deciding to eat in the same place.

This is what Mac and I actually did.We loved LZM's bulalo and boneless bangus so much that we ate dinner there 2 consecutive Saturdays.

The first trip was with my officemates. 

Serving the very yummy bulalo. Perfect for the cold and rainy weather in Tagaytay

 

 

 

Can't get over the Bulalo

The Boneless Bangus was also one of the Best Sellers

Satisfied faces: (L-R) Yoshi Tanaka, Mac, Me, Miles, Aids, Dapor and Migz (Gab was behind the camera)

We stayed in Canyon Woods, Tagaytay where two of our officemates were members.

We also had Razon's Halo Halo for merienda

Bag of Beans for lunch. They have a brunch buffet available up to 11am. Too bad we didn't make it to the brunch

Bag of Beans menu. The bacon looks so tempting
