The Party Continues at Salvatore Cuomo & Bar Philippines

Joined a few friends in the blogging scape a few days ago at Salvatore Cuomo and Bar in GF Uptown Parade in BGC. It sits at the corner of 9th Avenue and 38th Street and is frequented by party goers this side of town. On Saturdays, DJ David Ardiente takes the lead and plays awesome songs that could be enjoyed by Millennials, Gen XYZ's and just about anyone who just wants to have fun.

Moscow Mule

Sangria

Espresso Martini

Aperol Spritz

Aside from the usual fare (of beer, wine and hard drinks), they've got really mean cocktails like Espresso Martini, Moscow Mule, Sangria, Aperol Spritz which you should definitely try.

I could picture this place as a launch pad for other bars around the area but I'm pretty sure after a few rounds of cocktails in this joint. you'll never want to leave and just enjoy the night with friends and family here.

Brushchetta Porchetta

Carpaccio

Now to make sure you don't drink with an empty stomach, they've got several pizzas and antipasti you can enjoy while you hold your cocktail on your other hand. It's a great conversation starter, there are several single people right across the bar for that. This place gets pretty packed on the weekends so make sure you get here a bit early if you have dining plans. They also have a really mean Truffle Pasta, I didn't get to see it on the table anymore because it was that good.

Don't be sad as it'll all be a blur when you get home (don't drink and drive of course!). This place has good food, good drinks, just bring the companions or see people there. Take the trip to one of the hottest spots in BGC, and make that night an epic one at Salvatore Cuomo and Bar.

Buddha Bar Marks 5th Year in the Philippines

It's been a while since I've been here. I've done a lot of events in nice places and Buddha Bar is definitely up there. The world class interiors, pretty good entertainment, the best cocktails and awesome food choices makes them one of the best in the Philippines, even the world!

They just marked their 5th year in the business and celebrated in a grand way via a "Cabaret Night" a few nights ago. I was so glad to be part of it and witnessed a full with a trio of ladies who'll make world class performers a run for their money, plus several Cancan Dancers to complete the show. I was here during their grand opening and several events after that but they've kept the place quite nice since I've last seen it. 

On this photo are executives Carlos Matta - President and CEO of Buddha-Bar Group, Nabil Souhail the Vice-President for Business Development and Operations of Buddha-Bar Group, Ambassador Amable R. Aguiluz V - Chairman of AMA Group of Companies and Buddha-Bar Manila, Tarja Visan - Co-Founder of Buddha-Bar Group and Angelito Agustin - Head of Operations of Buddha-Bar Manila.

Congratulations in your 5th year in the business and we all wish Buddha Bar Manila more success in the coming years! 

Cheers!

Bros Who Brunch at Cafe Enye Eastwood City

Had a good amount of energy today so I decided to drop by at Cafe Enye in Eastwood City. It's a casual restaurant that serves colonial Spanish cuisine. I could see a couple of these dishes served at my home because obviously I'm a Bueno, but I'm quite new to this concept where they have promotions for Bros who Brunch. You can order a wide selection of plated brunch menus which will more or less contain these items below. They're in big servings and you can also add Php 199 so you can get bottomless mimosas and bloody mary. That's a smashing deal that happens every weekend from 9AM to 2PM until the promo lasts. I could sense they designed this for night workers who would want to get a drink or two the morning after. Most of the plates are below 300 too so you get upscale dining for less with your friends or office mates. Here's more reason to visit Cafe Enye.

Mahi Mahi Cubanos. These are special fish only found in the tropics, generally prized for their really good meat, a little scarce in most areas. These were made into sandwiches, sliced up in it's toasted crusty bread that could fill you up in no time at all. Loved it.

My personal favorite is this, Scotch Eggs. Meaty ham bits enveloped in crunchy batter and bread crumbs. They have different dips too so you get choices.

This one's their Gambas. It's rough but spicy, just enough to keep your rice and whole meal interesting. I do suggest you get a little more than a bottle of beer before taking an interest with this one because aside from the conversations, you might as well have it to chill out with your crew.

Why wouldn't you want to get this for size. It's mussels and clams in one dish. I think they got this from the Tapas style of meals in Spain, the 300 years must have done a lot for this to happen eh?!

This one's a little Filipino, it's home made Beef Tapa. Well seasoned beef strips dried and fried for your breakfast. They've got a mean Enye Rice to go with this as well. They've got that in some plates but you can always ask for it. Pretty good.

This one is well marinated, really good Fried Milkfish. If you think about it, this would be one of your more healthy options for the weekend. Don't forget to order Mimosas or Bloody Mary since that's bottomless, I'd suggest the Mimosa though as that's a bit more "citrus" than the other one. But potato potatoes.

I forgot the name of this one but it's pretty much a Fritata. It's got sausages and bacon too if I'm not mistaken. It's a common thing on Tapas.

I like this one too, the Pork Skewers are pretty much like Sate. Thin strips make a good canvas so whatever concoction they made for the marinade, it seeped in. Then grilled lightly.

This one is the Bacon and Sausages, I can imagine having wine with this but since it's more of brunch it can still be good with rice.

This one is a little on the curry side, these are Fish Skewers. I like how they did it with very strong spices, it almost fell off the skewers as it is very soft. 

The Pollo Croquettas were soft and lovely. I like the dips they also have on the side, made it like you want to paint on canvas.

My plate was a story but what's more interesting is that there's a big charity side to this story. You see these weekend lunch stories actually include them selling shirts as they are actually donating the proceeds to Big Brother Big Sister Foundation which helps children from indigenous areas to get to school and be supported for one year. This year's goal is to actually send around 800 kids so your help will really go a long way. It's not just you benefiting from the good meals you get in Cafe Enye but you also get to help a kid go to school, isn't that amazing?!

Again, just go to Cafe Enye in Eastwood City. It's at the ground floor of Excelsior Building right across the J.Co store and Starbucks. You won't miss it. Just ask the concierge or security, they mostly know how to get you there. #BrosWhoBrunch happens every weekend from 9AM to 2PM. Make sure you drop by and drag your family and friends. It's going to be easy to convince them with the Mimosas and Bloody Mary on the invite. There's craft beers too, quite affordable. Won't cost you an arm, leg or kidney.
