My Fiance has a strange preference for food. For example, at Breakfast He only wants to eat Pancakes, or French Toast, etc. I ask him before if he wants fish and He told me ... " No,

maybe you can sneak up on him, with the 'waffles and fried chicken' breakfast.. over time, replace the fried chicken with a hunk of steamed white cod.

And 3 in 1 coffee?

I miss that, a lot. Got Hooked on it in Singaupura. I can make it from scratch now, but I note can find many brands of 3n1 type here in the Asian Markets in Plano and Richardson.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

It was okay for instant coffee, if made strong enough. The best coffee I found while there was at McDonald's. Even the Dunkin' Donuts coffee wasn't all that good.

We would stop for coffee at Seattle's Best at Green Belt 5, it was good.

That place on the ground floor of The Podium has some good coffee. Don't remember the name of the place, but I do remember looking straight at Regine Tolentino (L) and smiling. I probably even did a "brow raise"... B-)

I never have found good coffee in all my trips over there. I've just settled on instant when I'm there. I keep telling myself that one day I'm going to bring my own over and buy a real coffee pot there.

My wife loves 3 and 1 and the local Filipino grocery has been stocking it.

I had the same problem with iced tea. Everywhere you go, they serve putrid sweet tea. I got frustrated, and at one restaurant, I asked, "Do you have fresh brewed black tea?"

"Yes, sir."

"Can you pour that into a tall glass full of ice and bring me some lemon wedges?"

"Yes, sir! No problem, sir! I will brew you a fresh pot, but it will take fifteen minutes or so."

"Great."

What a shame... Have you ever made a trip to Baguio? If not, I highly suggest going.

Since I was a little kid, my family has been buying from Garcia's coffee. At ~P300/kilo...you can't go wrong. My personal favorite is their Benguet blend.

It sure beats the ####### outta instant. :yes:

I hope to make it up to Baguio, some time. My wife is from Davao City, Mindanao, so I tend to be pretty far south all the time. I have noticed an improvement in coffee in Manila, but I'm always just passing through and it hasn't appear to have reached the south yet. I might even just bring a stove top percolator pot. I prefer perked coffee over drip coffee in any case. Although you need to do it right or you'll eat coffee grounds.

Nah, real cowboy coffee is when you put the grounds in your tin cup and heat it on the fire! Just make sure you don't suck down that last gulp in the cup or you'll be spitting grounds :P
