    What's So Special About Starbucks?

    in Food & Beverages (Not to be confused with Restos and Bar)

    Posted

    The coffee is nothing special. Just as the guy (I think it was Pauly) said on "The Sopranos", LOL: These motherf'ers are stealing our culture!

     

    Buckstars ain't nothing but slick marketing and a gimmick. Italians have been making coffee like they serve for ages. It's just expresso beans (for the most part) mixed with foamed milk, chocolate syrup, caramel, etc.

     

    Personally I don't see why/how it's so popular in Phils, it's dayang expensive. Even in Japan it's a running joke about the price, about $4 for the largest (used to be called grande but now they call it something else, I forgot :rolleyes: ) size. When I am in Manila though, it is nice to stop and have an iced latte since it's easy to get a bit hot after a few minutes of walking, LOL, and get to view some eye candy at Greenbelt or some other such place.

     

    That's the only reason I'd stop there, it's not the coffee. Personally I prefer Segafredo over Bucks which you have at Greenbelt 3 but haven't seen many in Phils...

    i'm going to Bora this August when I take some home leave sa Pinas.

     

    a friend of mine is doing all our bookings. she said we will stay at Regency in Station 2.

     

    first time visit ako to Bora, what else can we do beside humping mad in the bedroom, bar-hopping and of course water sports?!

    What else do you need, LOL?! :P

     

    There are boats that will take you around the island...discos....hmmm, you could take a scuba lesson if you want to get a license.

     

    Probably best to save up your energy, LOL!

    Davao and Camiguin

    If you're looking for a good place to stay in Davao I personally recommend Linmarr Apartelle. The rooms are fairly big (2 floors, downstairs is the kitchen and upstairs is the bedroom and bathroom. They have a nice pool and it's a lot cheaper than Marco Polo.

     

    I have no idea what Pinoys pay for that but I know for foreigners it's ridiculous to have to pay nearly $100 a night for Davao. :rolleyes:

     

    Limarr Website

     

    Single room unit: Php 1,800.00

    Double room unit: Php 2,400.00

     

    They discount that if you pay in cash and probably locals price is less.
