Ice beer


Manila - The 1st morning meeting was cancel so Lesley and I decided to have a later breakfast @ 9am.  There were new dishes on the breakfast menu and I tried both of them - Crispy Danggit is a breakfast dish in Philippines - the taste is crispy, very salty and pungent. Danggit in English it is called Rabbit fish or spinefoot.  It is abundant in Philippine waters and is caught, split open, dried in the sun with salt and transported to markets to be sold.


The otther dish is Sotanghon Guisado - which is saute glass noodles (also called Tang Hoon, Chinese vermicelli or Cellophane noodles). 

Late morning, the duty manager escorted me to the Executive club floor for my new room. 

Dinner was at a location called commons restaurant located @ 162 Valero Street Salcedo Village Makati Metro Manila Philippines.

I tried this soup - Suam na Mais with Prawns.  Suam is Corn soup prepared in a Filipino traditional way.    The Country Style Spareribs is fried and thus too dry for my liking.    We also had deep fried Tilapia.    Then came the ice beer called San Miguel light sub zero beer.   Fhilipinos love their iced stuff...it was real fun.
