81st Oktoberfest at the Solaire Tent

Had another wonderful taste of Oktoberfest once again at the Solaire Tent in Parañaque City this morning. This is officially their 81st year of doing this and yes, it's just becoming bigger and bigger.

The German Club Manila happily shared how they have been able to break records in the number of crowds and liters of beer, German sausages consumed every year and 2019 should be no different. This year they are doing it in three days on October 17, 18 and 19. It is expected to be full so make sure you wear those lederhosen trousers and fancy dirndls because this is the authentic one, it comes with a full Bavarian band called Bavarian Sound Express (OMG I miss the 99 Luft Balloons medley)!

The desserts like the classic strudel and Kaiserschmarnn have to be noted because it just was heavenly with the cream and vanilla ice cream.

I heard they are prepping about 4-5 liters of Weihenstephan per person so there won't be shortchanging on the beer supply. You can book tickets via Oktoberfest.ph and purchase them online. 

The event was graced by the current German Club President Tobias Rast, Solaire VP for F&B Knit Becker and VP for Culinary Michael Dinges. The first photo above was the yearly dance we had to do before the start of festivities, it's a great way to break the ice and celebrate Oktoberfest like how the Bavarians do. 

Call the German Club via 8942899 or 8184236 because this is going to be the biggest authentic German Oktoberfest in Manila, and you wouldn't want to miss this for the world! They will also have separate raffle draws including trips to Europe. Not even joking!

Raise your glass and say Prost!

Say "Ein Prost!" At The 78th Oktoberfest At Sofitel Manila

Gentlemen from The German Club Philippines and GM of Sofitel Manila Mr. Adam Laker (in suit).

There's no party when you're alone, but when you party with about 200 people merrymaking on top of tables and chairs with tons of food and beer, that's what you call OKTOBERFEST!

The German Club is celebrating their 78th Oktoberfest in Sofitel Manila and the most authentic one at that. In Munich, at 12 PM of the first Saturday of October, they start a ceremonial toast and they give the first pint to the Prime Minister of Bavaria. They did it too in Sofitel to start the ceremonies.

Sofitel's GM Adam Laker promises Germans and Filipinos will enjoy a full Bavarian Menu, tons of Sausages and Pork Knuckles, the best Saurkraut and each year it gets better. Different games, parties, it's also the people that gets this a larger crowd each year. No leather pants required but of course it's optional!

I even joined a game with contestants from the German community and press people, I won. I won last 2014 and didn't join 2015 (because I was too shy LOL), but it's good I got this one in the bag!

Fellow bloggers, writers from Manila's best magazines and influencers are all in attendance. I was already tipsy at this time from chugging a whole liter of beer for the Philippines haha!

This year's OKTOBERFEST will happen at Sofitel Manila's Harbor Tent on October 7 and 8! This is their 78th Year which only shows this has been a LONG tradition. You may book your tickets via email at reservations@germanclub.ph. You can also call (02) 894 2899. I assure you, this is one of the best parties, a legit Oktoberfest at that. Dance, drink all evening, enjoy the best Bavarian dishes, sausages, pretzels and the company of Germans who chose to work and live here in Manila and say EIN PROSIT!

To end this post, let me share my blogger friend Azrael's video of the event featuring me in the Beer Drinking Contest! Hahah don't judge!

Mister Donut Outs New Bavarian Doubles Flavors!

I super love Bavarian filled donuts. I don't know how my affinity with it started but I know how much I always want to have whole FunPasalubong Box to bring along to my friends when I go out of town. I love the Mister Donut Bavarian filled donuts because they put enough of it in every piece. Don't you just feel cheated when all you need is a decent doughnut and the one you get is half filled? Or worse, not even enough to say that you get your money's worth. Mister Donut has already impressed me with their lovely brewed coffee. When they came out with Bavarian flavored doughnuts, they even doubled the filling with "Bavarian Doubles". The line made us love Bavarian all over again as they combine 2 of your favorite flavors in one doughnut. The difference? You don't get that unhealthy intense sweetness, they do it just right.

Now think of some of your favorite desserts. This summer, I've always wanted to go to Guimaras and swim in the plaza where they held the Mango Festival. They served unlimited sweet golden mangoes which I absolutely love! Aside from that, I've been so addicted to the pastillas in Bulacan which they intricately (and artfully) decorate the wrappers too. Since Mister Donut is smart, they want these two elements to be in your favorite Bavarian line. They combined the two fillings and dubbed thee as "Mangostillas"!

Now you can have two amazing flavors in one Bavarian doughnut. The Bavarian Doubles line also now is paving the way for other combinations  like the "Chocoyema" which combines rich thick Choco Fudge and the lovely milky favorite "Yema". Aside from these surprising revelations, they also went ahead with the same Choco Fudge Bavarian filling with the original Bavarian variety. They call this the "Chocovarian" which is still as creamy as ever with lovely chocolate swirls when you bite into it. You should really see the commercial. Albeit a little crazy, the twins would actually make you smile from ear to ear.

The new flavors won't disappoint you because they won't give you much of a problem on how they made it in the first place. You won't be complaining about the filling as they've got a sufficient amount of it in every piece, unlike the others who just put less of it, quality assurance would be crying haha!

Yes, the  Bavarian Doubles is available now on all Mister Donut branches and I'm actually going to their branch near my place to have these lovely donuts for me, my family, some of my friends who have been good to me. The other bad friends can go ahead and enjoy their substandard half filled doughnuts, I don't mind LOL!
