Aracama's Happiest Hour

Last night, the officemates and I tried Aracama's "Happiest Hour" promo--cocktails at just PHP 100 each. Not bad, not bad. They especially loved the mojito, which was of just the right amount of mint leaves, while I had red and white wine. Nothing spectacular on the wine, well, what should we expect for a hundred bucks anyway.

Aracama Filipino Cuisine is located in Fort Strip, just beside Draft European Gastropub. I shall write about their food again sometime. (Note: The appetizers were delish.) For now, just head on to Aracama soon, because the happiest hour is only for the month of June, from Sundays to Wednesdays, 6pm onwards!

Early Bird Breakfast Club

I live for breakfasts. For my birthday, I announced that I want a breakfast celebration with the family--which meant waking up and driving early. I was torn between Apartment 1B, some five-star hotel breakfast buffet, Old Swiss Inn brunch, and Early Bird Breakfast Club. Well yes, we went for the last one.

This quaint single-door restaurant in Fort Strip (below the new club URBN) has been gaining popularity by word of mouth. And since they are within walking distance from the hottest clubs in Fort, they are open 24 hours on Fridays and Saturdays! I honestly did not taste all of our orders, but let me just show you the photos. If these do not appeal to you, then I don't know what would :)

Lemon Butter Bangus (Php 325)

I won't let this breakfast place go by without trying my standard for breakfast places, tapsilog. So I ordered this one below. It's really good. The garlic rice is not sticky at all, the beef was tender and sweet. That vinegar is quite bland to complement the tapa.

A true blue Pinoy eater: Tenderloin Tapa (Php 375)

This next dish gets an A for presentation. French Toast Fondue. Dip your piece in this order: melted chocolate, maple syrup and cinnamon sugar!

French Toast Fondue (Php 310)

Their orders are more than a regular person's appetite, I wouldn't say for two, though. Okay, maybe two light eaters. Just look at this:

This is just half of the Fish Fillet Goujon Salad (Php 325)

It was a very filling breakfast, so much that I didn't eat until 4pm that day (we had reservations at 8am.) We went there on a Saturday morning, and it does get full so better call ahead  if you are planning on eating there (+632 4708847), especially for big group like ours (ten peeps).
