Manila

Thanks guys for all the informative post. Does anybody know if Philippines have a hands free restaurant?

Thanks

[QUOTE=Finrod]I went here the first weekend I was in town. What eye candy! Sheesh! My eyes were bulging. 600pp per hour to sit with a girl. Barfine was 6000pp. I think the entry was 400pp. Plus drinks and food. My total tab ran over 10000pp that night. Do not pick #113, very beautiful for a 19 year old limp fish. So little chemistry that she left in the morning without asking for tip.

About the location, I was brought there, it was raining hard that night so my memory is rather vague on that. Sorry.[/QUOTE]Drove by this place on my way out of town and country. I'm pretty sure this is really East Asia I'm talking about. And yes, YMMV a lot here. I had the crappy experience so that's left me with no desire to return here when I make it back to the Phils someday.

Thanks[/QUOTE]I believe the Kamayan Restaurant does. It also had a buffet style serving if you desire when I was there last. The food was excellent. The address is 532 Padre Faura Street.

I don't think he is looking for a place that he can eat without utensils. I believe he is looking for a restaurant like the Galaxy No Hands restaurant in Bangkok where you pick a girl from the fishbowl and she feeds you at the table, while your hands are free for exploring.

Quite sure that there isn't one in Manila.

In Manila last week and visited the LA Cafe. I asked a lot of questions about the recent raid, and foreigners being hassled by cops and pretended to be afraid to hook up because of this. As a result, some of the self-proclaimed regulars became angry and walked away from me. Just wanted to let them know we do hear about such things and that bad publicity was bad for business.

Came back later and did hook up with a fun pair of girls. Both were tall, young, good looking and slim. As a precaution, I gave them 200p to take a separate cab back to my hotel. Back in the room they were an absolute riot. They were laughing and joking the whole time they were working on me. They did anything I asked them to. Gave them 1500p each.

Next night went to P. Burgos street. I am sorry, I just don't get it. This place is supposed to have the superior girls? I saw nothing “superior.” The LA Café had the same quality of girls, albeit not the same quantity, and the EDSA girls were actually better looking.

Hi Billpsu,

Just curious, which bars did you go to on Burgos? For the first time I actually went to a couple of bars on Burgos and I have seen some really nice looking girls in some of the bars. I also went to Edsa a couple of times and have seen some good ones there also.

\I only went to 2 bars at Edsa and they both had about 50 girls. I think I saw 2-3 I considered "hot" in each.

I agree that Burgos is hit and miss at times too but I think percentage-wise, I saw more "hot" girls on Burgos. If you're comparing them to the ones on the street, I have yet to see really good looking girls on the street at Burgos. At about 4am-4:30am, there are plenty since they are all leaving the bars after they close and many will hang around the street either talking or looking for guys to pick them up.

On a side note, I was standing in front of the 7-11 tonight for about 20 minutes waiting for someone on this board and 2 ladyboys came up to me offering a massage for 500 pesos. I have to say that these 2 were not as easy to tell but to me they were quite obvious. I firmly declined and he/she said that he/she was "really horny" at which point I took a couple of steps back and declined again so they went on their way. About 5 minutes later, 2 Korean guys walk by and these 2 latch on to their arms, offer them massages, kiss them on the cheek and go walking away arm and arm... I was trying to signal them not to take them but they didn't see me. There were 2-3 others that I saw them talking to so I didn't want to risk a big scene so I let the Korean guys walk away with them.

I did see the 2 ladyboys walking back by themselves about 5 minutes later so hopefully the Koreans figured it out. I've found that the ones offering massages on Burgos for 500 pesos have been guys the 3 times I was approached.

Regarding LA Cafe, I went in on a Saturday a couple of months ago and walked around the place for a while. There were probably about 200+ girls there but I did not see any that I would have even considered. I was looking real hard for at least a decent one and looked at just about every girl in the bar but couldn't find any. I know there was a heated debate about this quite some time ago and I don't want to start it again but I just didn't see any quality when I was there.

I have also seen that gang which hangs around across the street from the matrix,They also offer BJ s for 500 pesos.I have seen them in action being picked up and going into dark corners or into cars.On the other hand,If you want a bj for 500 pesos.........I have seen some Arab Dude being blown by one of them near the side of Travellers Inn.I wonder If he knew....

Matrix, Jools, Wild Wild West, and so on. Just went from one to another. Perhaps I over-anticipated because of all I have read. But believe me, it just was not there.

LA Cafe is hit or miss. I guess being there on a Friday/Saturday night helped. My friend also agreed that a lot of the girls there, on those particular nights, were hot.

I was sitting in LA Cafe Thursday night and I was right by the door when NBI came in to close the place down.

Sad thing is the girls knew about it before anyone else. I watched them all file out of there in droves. By the time NBI got in the door the majority of the girls had left.

NBI went straight upstairs virtually ignoring downstairs.

I just sat there and watched the show. I got bored because they shut off the music and most of the girls had left. So I headed down the street to Amazonia to play some pool.

Later on I had heard they actually closed LA for the weekend because Friday is a holiday so LA couldn't do nothing until Monday at earliest. But I have heard some unconfirmed stuff about it not reopening.

I do know that there has been a shuffle of Police Chiefs/Captains in Manila recently so hopefully it is just them flexing muscle to let everyone know who is in charge (and who to pay bribes to now.)

Also watch out for those checkpoints when you have a girl in the taxi. I have gotten pulled over a couple times and I paid the cop the first two times (Same guy.)

Now he pulls me over to say hello. I dont pay him no more but I also made it clear on #3 I was done paying. But not all cops are nice so it is smart to what this guy here says. Give the girls taxi money and let them come to your hotel in a separate taxi.

But if you do get nailed have the girl lie and say she has known you for years. Give her a few quick details to tell to the cops to try and back it up.

Best bet is to tell her to keep her mouth shut and you do all the talking. If you are here on a short trip give the cop you are talking to 2000 or so and get back in and leave when they let you go.

Keep your calm and dont get in there face. Be nice and cooperative. Pay when asked and good to go. Is easier than the hassle you will face otherwise.

That's really bad news! Hopefully the local authorities will reconsider their decision soon. Well, I suppose now we need plan B for daytime action. Any idea where all the LA girls are hanging around instead of that?

It is hit or miss with them all depending on the time of day/night and where you go on Burgos. The clubs you mentioned on Burgos (Matrix, WW West and Jools) are not known for where the hotties are. You should have tried Flamingo, Billboard or High Heels. Keep in mind also, that many of the stunners are usually gone by 10 PM. The Matrix is a FL bar like LA Cafe; totally hit or miss.

Generally speaking there is a larger ratio of hotties in the Burgos GRO bars than EDSA. You'll see this over time if you barhop between the two. Going to EDSA and Burgos in the same night only gives you one snapshot in time and it's not really a valid way of comparing the two. But go to both over a period of time and you'll quickly see the difference and why the longterm mongerers will say there are more quality stunners in Burgos.

Another thing to consider is that the Burgos managers usually begin training their girls how to be companions with foreigners the day they start working. If they can't speak English well, they'll have the other girls start teaching them English. They are taught proper hygeine and simple things like shaving their legs. At EDSA, these girls are their mostly for the locals so the girls with the mud between their toes remain girls with mud between their toes. This little difference between the two areas does, IMHO, does make the girls of Burgos higher quality.

The best thing to do is check out all areas including Quezon and Pasay too. Great ladies can be found in all areas. Even better though is if you have the time, make a trip to Angeles.

Hey guys,

How close exactly is Hyatt Regency to EDSA complex? Is it literally next door, or will I have to walk for awhile?

And is it risky walking with a girl directly out of the EDSA complex back to the hotel? I'm thinking maybe I should tell her to meet me there instead after hearing about the cops and their scams.

The Hyatt, on Rojas, is about 2 blocks (long ones) from EDSA. I have stayed there lot's of times in the past and ussually walk over to EDSA (earlier in the evening) then take a cab back (late at night). It is less than 50 pesos. As for the police and their shakedowns ??? in all the years I have been going there I have never heard about that happening. I think that it's restricted to LA Cafe area and rare even there.

As for staying at the Hyatt, I will not stay there again, other then it's proxiemty to EDSA there is nothing else around there, no stores / sari sari to buy things like water or restaurants for food.

From EDSA (entertainment) complex is a taxi ride away from Hyatt Regency, or it's a long walk. You should not get any problem with cops, but walk with any girl you meet in the bar all the way back to Hyatt is not really a good idea.
