BROTZEIT in BGC: CHINESE NEW YEAR PLATTER

Something delicious comes with BROTZEIT'S CHINESE NEW YEAR PLATTER. Only available until FEBRUARY 5, 2017 SUNDAY, this huge selection is good for 3 to 4 people and is perfect to partner with anything alcoholic.
Trying it out in BROTZEIT'S newest branch in SHANGRI-LA FORT BGC, one can never go wrong with anything on the menu. The whole thing goes perfectly well with their top class beers. Personally, flavored ones like the cranberry, mango and even spiked with vodka and lime are great choices.

Starting off with some grilled SALMON, the saltiness works well with a bit of citrus flavor from the lemon. Very clean and smooth.

The ROASTED PORK BELLY was served with beer sauce. The skin was crunchy and the meat was moist and decadent. It was a perfect combination to the different beers that were served.
The most impressive item on the platter would have to be the ROASTED CHICKEN.
This isn't like your ordinary roadside poultry. The chicken was marinated with different sauces, herbs and stuffed with lemon. The different flavors popped out. The skin was juicy and the meat was flavorful and not dry.
Accompanying it was 3 kinds of mushrooms and a couple of sides. While the cabbage in garlic sauce was just okay, the sweet potato mash worked wonders with the meat. The mushrooms complimented everything too.

THE PERFECT PINT: Where Drinking is the Game

One Friday night, to avoid the traffic that hounds the metro, My friends and I gathered in THE PERFECT PINT to share a glass of beer and amazing food.

PERFECT PINT is found on the second floor of CROSSROADS Bldg in BGC. You really can't miss it.

 Not my first time,  as I had a couple of beer here with my relatives a few months back. So I had no problem with parking and searching for the place.

One thing that I liked is the pub feel and the different sayings on the wall and on the mirrors.

Beers are abundant in the PERFECT PINT. You could go for dark ones to mild and even deep flavor. Some are also brewed by local guys so you can taste the different flavors pretty well.

Since I did go for the food, we were served appetizers first.
The OYSTER SISIG. Has a little crunchy part but the texture feels a little odd. Or maybe it's just me.

The TUNA TENDERS are just amazing. These deep fried beer battered tuna testicles are incredible. The taste is just wow but the texture is somewhat different since they are testicles. Perfect for any drink you may want to partner it just think of them as balls. Enjoy and have fun. Must try!!!

If you are into Pizza, The TRUFFLE PIZZA is your bet. This thin crust is topped with Mozzarella and Gruyere. Truffle cream and paste are also added to achieve that flavor.

If you are a heavy eater, you must get the KAPAL FACE with House Pickles.
This baby right here is crunchy all over. Think and imagine CRISPY PATA. In this dish though, you only get the crispy parts because the PIG'S face is used. Everything is super crunchy!

Another perfect beer pair is the SAUSAGE PLATTER. Four different huge sausages with a side of fries are served to entice you to drink some more. Different beer gives off a different taste when partnered with this sausage. I would usually go for the tame and mild sausage rather than the heavy and peppery one.

One dessert that was amazingly plated was the BAKED CARAMEL BROWNIE SMORES with RHUM RAISIN ICE CREAM. Given that it was a bit too sweet, I stayed away from it and only had a tiny taste. IT was warm chocolate brownie love. The touch of marshmallows just made it perfect.

When in BGC, THE PERFECT PINT is the pub or watering hole that you could visit for different beers. Their dishes are perfect beer matches. The only thing that could prohibit one from going is that the food quantity is a lot and the prices are a little on the high end side. Mostly, you would see expats as the patrons to this restaurant. Service was excellent. Taste was perfect. Cheers.

It's MILLER TIME! At 71 Gramercy

"It's Miller Time"
 This says it all. If you are familiar with REGGIE MILLER, you would know what this means in basketball. Now think BEER. Yes exactly the same thing.

Entering 71 Gramercy has never been so swanky as this bucket of joy greets everyone.

The party started early as everyone was left in awe. With bottles of MILLER beer being opened left and right, you can't help but remember your younger yesteryears. I must be getting too old for this ****.
Old as I might be, I definitely enjoyed this premium beer. It goes for that German Style Lager brewed and bottled in the Wisconsin. Yes, Miller is coming back to Manila. This time around straight from the US.

It tastes light and oddly enough, after 7 bottles of beer, I could still walk a straight line.  Make no mistake, this MILLER could go for bust as it keeps you going all night long. Party people would definitely love this.

 As the night was getting along, party goer and lifestyle icon, TIM YAP welcomed the crowd.
Everyone started dancing and enjoyed the night away...

 Sexy is as sexy does. For me, that is MILLER.
 Last one.. After my last one...

I enjoyed so much that I couldn't help taking look at the view... The beer, the company, and now all I need is the girl. Good times.

Can't wait for the local bars to get wind of this and start selling them. Remember, beer bellow zero. That is the way to go to properly enjoy this one. MILLER GENUINE DRAFT is here to stay. 
WELCOME BACK!
