An Evening with the Team at Tipsy Pig

Christmas is just around the corner and almost every day there is a get-together and a party. It just gives us the license and excuse to eat and drink more often than the usual. Like most of you, I’m guilty of this. Parties are very common and of course aside from your company party you will still have a separate team party. So this year, after our company party we had our team party.

Our bosses decided to have our year-end team party at Tipsy Pig in Capitol Commons. Since this Gastropub has been opened they kept coming back to this place. Aside from its very accessible from our office, their food and flavored drinks is something you would always crave for more.

My teammates love the taste of their salted caramel beer. I tasted it and yes it has the taste of caramel. Aside from the famous salted caramel they also have other drinks with mixtures. The one I like is their drink with mango juice and has mint and basil leaves. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to remember the name of the drink. You can taste the rich mango flavor on the drink that you wouldn't think that there is alcohol mixed into it. 

Aside from the mixed drinks they have the local and imported beers. 

Aside from their various drinks, Tipsy Pig also boasts their delicious and mouth-watering foods. How can you resist their Crispy Pata? It’s so big but the meat can be easily cut from the bones.

The dish that made my night is their Kare-kare. The peanut paste is just so good! I can’t explain how perfect it is once it mixes with the bagoong. The pork meat is incredibly tender but what is amazing is the crispy pork skin in the Kare-kare.

Whenever I eat in a restaurant I always order a chicken because for me it is the safest thing to eat. You already know the taste of it. However, there’s no risk in it. Even so, chicken was never out in our table that night. We ordered their Beer Can Chicken however I was not able to take a picture of the chicken while sitting on top of a beer can.

Their foods are really good but I cannot say that it something extraordinary. Even the flavored beers are now common. However, the ambiance of the place although crowded is still relaxing especially if yu are seated outside where you can feel the fresh wind.
