I've noticed Heineken appearing in the 7/11 stores and it wasn't all that expensive either, not bought any though. At my age there is no pleasure in trying to down large amounts of alcohol in a short time, I'd have to drink about 5 tins in two hours to get value for money out of 250 peso. actually just about parity on the 7/11 prices in our local shop.
Local Philippine shop Markham, 60 peso each. 5 x 60=300 and I don't want to drink that much in two hours.
You want a handbag fight John edit: or maybe that should a man bag fight I always carry a man bag it's full of computer and photography hardware and weighs quite a bit
Tiger Beers available in 7/11 as well. The Tiger Black is quite a flavoursome beer, though at 6. 9% alcohol it seems just a tad too strong for session drinking.
I suppose we down about 5 pints in two hours..No big deal. Just fun times in my early retirement years with my friends,whats wrong with that?
Yeah I had noticed Tiger in the 7/11 as well, surprising seeing foreign beers on sale in corner shops these days, when for so long it was nigh on impossible to get them. Although I do remember buying a tin of McEwan's export in Boracay back in 2006, it was horrible but I thought I'd give it a try as I hadn't had one for about 20 years at that point.
Do they sell PG-Tips in the Philippines now?Never drank alcohol but I love a decent cup of tea and only ever drank liptons in the PI which isn't really a decent cuppa.
There`s a huge bag of Yorkshire tea in my Kitchen.. Ain`t BB boxes the best thing ever! (especially when Mum packs it)
Take your own tea with you, I always have a box of tea bags, and a decent mug packed in my backpack when travelling. Strange really, I stocked up with three boxes of speciality Boh tea when we were in Kuala Lumpur a couple of weeks ago, I like their Mandarin Earl Grey variety. Never found any decent tea produced in the Philippines.
Yorkshire tea is the stuff I drink, by choice, when I am back in Leeds. Liptons tea bags always seems too weak and wishy washy. Do you drink tea: - With or without Milk, - With or without Sugar, - With or without a chocolate digestive. You can get chocolate digestives from M&S in Manila.
I don't go to manila (hate the place) and I don't eat chocolate digestives,i drink tea strong enough to stand the spoon up in,drop of milk,no sugar,some decent coffee in the PI if you can find it,and I don't mean the sachets.
