bods1000 Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 I've actually always wondered if one drank too much of a specific alcohol/spirit/vino would the scent of that particular alak start seeping through the skin pores? Alam mo na parang same principle with the yabmubs reeking with the smell of the onions and curries they consume. Si tamagochi Ghost natin ay masigasig nagbabasa nung hapon doon sa thread na may nakasagutan ka. Tama ba tagalog ko? Teka, bakit mga monkeys ba ay nanloloko? Wala akong alam na ganyan na trait ah! Parang national geographic na itong thread! May pig, monkey, tiger, horse at ngayon dinagdagan pa ng zebra! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> what I know is that if you drank pineapple juice, something will taste good ooopppsss hehehe I learned that from a certain thread hereabouts lintsak na ghostbuster yun ah - mukhang dinadamoobs na si ms. boo.....ooopss hehehe baka magalit uli sa akin. And yes your Tagalog is now perfectly perfect.....More vino, madam? No I just said that pigs are gullible creatures - madali kaming mapagsamantalahan (whew ang haba nun ah heheh) Animal Planet kamo, hehehe.....si Casper the friendly ghost na lang ang kulang hehehe Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 yup those lady golfers in the lpga now are really something...tall, slender waring sleeve less shirt and tight short shorts... e kung ganun gobu ko.... d ako ...... tatamarin mag golf... :thumbsupsmiley: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> it's the game naman I watch, pare, and their skills....the cameraman's skills I mean. They're always at the right place and at the right time - like when a golfer in skirts squats to study the grass. I've always been interested in the layout of grass pare... Mga 4pm pa yon when I saw his nick online. Hahahaha natawa ako sa hirit mong Flood Control. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 4pm pa!! wala talagang hilig yun dun eh.........If not for the presence of you two here, I won't persist with this Flood Control, but hey it's better than staring down a bottle of Novellino Quote Link to comment
hint-of-lime Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Hmmm.... Interesing thread you have here. I'm a bit of a wine drinker myself. I spent some time in Australia and had some mates there who were avid wine drinkers. Needless to say, Australians are great beer drinkers, too so I developed a taste for that as well. Anyway, I absolutely adore Aussie wine because that's all I really drank there (aside from beer, and, OH YEAH! Port! My mate kept trying to bend me to this favorite of his....). The best I've ever had was a Penfolds Cabernet Sauvignon 1989. Ohhhh, that was the smoothest cabernet I've ever had! A cabernet-shiraz mix is a personal favorite - Penfolds and Jacob's Creek have a good 2003 vintage. In general, I'm quite partial to wines from the Barossa Valley, Margaret River, and Coonawarra regions - they are usually quite good! However, now I'm in Europe, Germany in particular and I live in close proximity to a cousin of mine who is a German wine buff and he is now educating me in the intricacies of German wine. The Kaiserstuhl region as well as the Pfalz make good wine. Of course the Riesling here is good, Germans are quite known for their whites. Others of note would be Weiß burgunder (white burgundy), Müller-Thurgau, and Gewürtztraminer - quite excellent from the Kaiserstuhl. German reds were a pleasant surprise for me. I've had an excellent spätburgunder from Sasbach, vintage 2003, as well as a premium Limburger Cabernet Sauvignon, also from Sasbach, 2003. Quite good, considering these wines are still quite young. Oh yeah! 2003 is a good vintage for German wines because this was a reportedly dry year for Germany, thus the harvest was very good! I'm eyeing a 1988 Sasbach cabernet in the cellar - I hope he opens it soon. Hehehe! :thumbsupsmiley: Anyway, as the Germans say - "Prost!" Quote Link to comment

Not too hot like in Barossa or Hunter Valley.We, (I myself particularly) am not too familiar with German and Austrian wines so we appreciate your presence and your inputs here,... thanks a lot! do stick around....

floppydrive Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 It's a Sunday, folks.... Mompo time! <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Walang patawad talaga ang mga tao dito! Pati yung bisyo ng pari pinapatulan! You must very very close to the priest for him to share the cup, lest you actually be a Priest! .. Forgive me father for I have sinned, I drank Nove... oops. hehehe. I only get the host. Isn't "presence" in tagalog .... Aguinaldo? hehehe. Actually, it's pagdalo or pagdadalo.

tentacle Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 the gloriamaris (is it still there? ), i would suggest you drive all the way down to greenhills shopping center. pepato's is good but 2 reasons i wont spend my money there (altho i already did!) (1) it's a fancy resto located in a mall (2) i cant seem to crossover the fact that gaita fores, known for her cibo went upscale to fine cuisine. (yeah, you may say i need to lighten up!). albeit i know that she went to italy to pursue her culinary study and so did ed quimson of rastro but he took a different route getting to where he is now! it's usually gourmet chef reaching out to mass appeal, just like wolfgang puck and spago!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> yup, the gloriamaris is still there. they had (or have?) this promo thing that makes you believe that you're ordering crabs for a really good deal (they have a huge picture of a fat crab just outside their doors) but when it is served, you'll find out that your cheap crabs are alimasag and not alimango. and, as you said, their greenhills branch is better (although the quality of the food there has also deteriorated). as for pepato, i don't really think of gaite flores while i'm eating their seabass so i'm not bothered by her going upscale to fine cuising. (even if i really don't like cibo food. i'd rather go to cafe bola.) speaking of wolfgang puck, i think i saw a sign in gateway saying that he's opening a restaurant there. (or was i just dreaming?)

Not too hot like in Barossa or Hunter Valley.We, (I myself particularly) am not too familiar with German and Austrian wines so we appreciate your presence and your inputs here,... thanks a lot! do stick around....<{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, not a chef. I'm a MD who thinks training abroad is a good excuse to see the world and educate myself on food, wine, and beer (not necessarily in that order ). So far, I've had the luck of meeting people who have this same interest and thus, knowledge is passed on! Hehe! I agree with the Barossas! Maybe that's why I prefer the shiraz from that region - the body just knocks you out! I've had a beautiful cabernet sauvignon when I celebrated my birthday there last year, a Sandgate 1998 from Margaret River and, though young, the tartness was barely perceptible and it went down so smooth! Even my Aussie friend was impressed and took note of this bottle! Too bad I couldn't find another few bottles, I so wanted to bring some home with me. You should try the Coonawarras! Coonawarra is a wine region in South Australia with a cool climate . The long growing season is marked by sunny, warm and dry days followed by cool evenings, an ideal combination developing the intense varietal characteristics for which Coonawarra is renowned. Originally, shiraz was their primary varietal, but eventually they've produced very good cabernets. I've still got a St. Hugo 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra locked up at home (A$70 wine given to me as a gift before leaving! I expect it is quite good, because in Australia, you can be sure that the pricier the wine, the better the quality, which cannot be said, unfortunately for French wines where price cannot always be used as a gauge). I'll give you some input on the Germans after I've tasted quite a bit more. My head is still spinning from that Chianti Reserva 2001 (Italy) we had last night. Cheers! Quote Link to comment

(or was i just dreaming?)<{POST_SNAPBACK}> i was at greenbelt today and saw the sign of gloria maris and a few others that i stopped going to. i only tend to be adventurous once. then if i like the place, it falls in my short list of places i go to. well, honestly, pepato cuisine is good (dont get me wrong!) but the business model gaita did was not the usual way...her cibo was a success already then she got into pepato. it's usually highend going to reasonable prices, which is the supported business model for restos. i am over analyzing again... as they as why fix it if it aint broke! i have only a few favs in cibo -- the spinach dip, the bruscheta with or without the hams and the spaghetti il classico. or ala margarita (i think she named this after her) their espresso is also good!!! the fresh fruit juice is must! i havent been to gateway (i hate competing for road space with jeeps and pedestrians!) but i've heard much about the place. i heard too that wolfgang puck is coming in. i've been to spago's in l.a. once. i was staying at a hotel along sunset at hollywood. the resto was almost across the street so i had to oblige! chilean sea bass is an excellent and exciting fish...basically pan grilled and baked like a steak and you can create any sauce and it blends well...pen serves it as a sinigang while mandarin has a different fare for it. my wife always has that on order while i would take my lamb chops and we share our food...this way we double the discovery... hope you could attend our wine ebs in the near future... we consume a reasonable amount of wine (right bods!) laugh and talk alot! only after we complete the wine tasting ceremonies so we have something to post on this thread!
