Aside from having excellent (and affordable) Jamaican Blue Mountain or Kona coffee, a dream coffee shop for me would be what the Japanese call manga kissa — basically, a café with lots and lots of magazines. Such a place would have an atmosphere that, to me, would be conducive to the consumption of huge amounts of that liquid they call black gold. And it would be a comfy hangout, too.
My good friend Rodney recommended this coffee shop to me recently, so I gave it a try yesterday. Actually, I’d already been to this place with some friends before, but all we did was drink beer, so no review then. But this time, I went to Bruegger’s Café because Rod said they’d installed wifi already (it’s free, of course), and that the food was really good.
Their house blend’s OK. Nothing to be too excited about, but it’s decent, and cheap (P30). The food, on the other hand, was a nice experience. I ordered their pork tips over rice. At P68, it was more than what I was expecting. The flavor was delicious, and the way it was prepared was impressive. I appreciate it when restaurateurs pay careful attention to their food presentation. Too bad I didn’t have a camera last night at Bruegger’s. Read more »
Last week I was the guest of honor and speaker of the Rotary Club of Davao — the ‘mother club’ of all Rotary Clubs here. Although it was my second time to be invited by this Club (the first was back in 2004), it still felt rather intimidating, what with the presence of Davao’s captains of industry. It was nice that some of the members went out of their way to make me feel at home in their clubhouse. They invited me to apprise them of the present situation of Davao’s I.T. industry.
