Drinks at St. Patrick Kapitolyo

Kapitolyo, Pasig is now popular with the houses converted into a restaurant. It has become a busy street especially during lunch and dinner. You can see people lined up in each restaurant. Aside from being a haven for delicious food, Kapitolyo is now also a place where you can have some nice drink which is different from the noisy and crowded places. 

For people who prefer to just have nice time to catch up with each other, the bars in Kapitolyo are the perfect place to be. Silantro is a common place where you can see people holding and drinking their beers while waiting to be seated. They also serve great foods. Juanito's is also popular hang-out place and is a favorite because they have videoke. Tipsy Pig that is located at Capitol Commons is a new addition to Kapitolyo's list of restaurants and bar.  

For our visit at Kapitolyo that night we decided to go to St. Patrick. The place was full with people when we arrived. Their bar area and two tables were already reserved. Luckily, there's still a table available but I think it was not the best spot because it was near the stairs going to the second floor and lighting was poor that we cannot get a good picture.  

My friend preferred St. Patrick because they offer wine and other foreign drinks. They offer cocktails which costs P180.00. They have rum, tequila, vodka, gin and whiskey. You can buy a bottle or just a shot of these liquor.

Aside from liquor drinks, St. Patrick also offers some food however their menu is limited so its better to have some dinner on nearby restaurants before having a drink here. For the food, they have buffalo wings which has different flavors. The wings can be tangy, smoky or done the classic way or you may want it sweet and spicy. They only have three rice meal, three kinds of sandwiches and four special hotdogs. Their menu also include some steak.

Since we had dinner at a nearby restaurant, we only ordered drinks at St. Patrick. We had a beer, a wine and a cocktail. My friend ordered a glass of red wine and another friend had Hoegaarden for his beer. As for me I had a daquiri.

I liked the daquiri at St. Patrick. It is unlike the other daquiri that I had where they usually added some fruit flavor like mango and strawberry. Their daquiri was just simple. The basic daquiri with a garnished of lime. The rum was mixed well with the sweetener and lime.

It was a great night. We were able to catch-up with each other lives and had a good drink. St. Patrick deserves another visit. I just hoped next time we can sit on the bar and have a better seat. 

The House of Vietnamese Food in Kapitolyo

It was as usual past dinner time and still we have not ate anything. Me and my friends decided to go out for a dinner that night however we arrived at our meeting place past the agreed time. We all agreed to have our dinner at Rubs in Kapitolyo, Pasig. We walked the famous street of Kapitolyo to get there. It was fun passing and checking each restaurant and food establishments.

Our joyful chatting came to a stop when we saw the long line of people waiting at Rubs. We then continue our walk going to Silantro, and the situation was just the same. We then try to recollect the restaurants we passed by to remember if there's any place which not full. Three Sisters also have a long line. Charlie's has some seats but we want to eat some rice so it was taken out of the option. Then we saw Ba Noi's with only few cars parked outside. I've been to Ba Noi's once and I've liked their food. We all agreed to have our dinner at Ba Noi's.

We were surprised when we enter the place. It seems like all the people inside having their dinner stopped and looked at us when we opened the door. We were immediately seated by the waitress on a table near the counter. I prefer dining at their second floor but it was already full.

On my previous visit to Ba Noi's we had their spring rolls and I loved the taste of it. I want my friend to have a taste of it so I ordered a serving of their spring rolls. Iliked their fried spring roll which is called Cha Gio. Inside the crispy roll is ground pork, shrimp, taro and black fungus. I usually wrap the spring roll on lettuce and then dip it to their Nuoc Mam sauce.

We also ordered their Suon Nong Xa which is pork riblets flavored with their special lemongrass fusion served with soy-chili sauce. This one is so tasty and my friend really loved it.

 

To top it we ordered their Vietnamese Rice. The rice was so delicious that I can eat it even without the pork and spring rolls. I ate my whole serving of rice and finished it all up.

We weren't able to try their coffee but definitely on our next visit Its something that we will have. Our dinner at Ba Noi's was just the beginning of a long night of catching up with each other. We headed to a bar also in Kapitolyo after our dinner.
