Makati

[QUOTE=Natty Bumpo, Great Havana Café report CT]

I am going to be staying at the New World shortly (got a deal for $87 / night) , so naturally I was planning to check out Havana Café, Greenbelt 3, the Icon Bar, Roman Suites, and Burgos I. E. All of Makati. It's my first trip to PI so I want to see as much as possible. I have even lined up a couple dates on MFC. So much ground to cover, so little time. I don't even know if I will find the time to get over to EDSA let alone the KTVs on Quezon Ave. I'll have to play it as it comes.

So I will think of you while I am eating some adobo kambing and admiring the girls at Havana. LOL. Thanks.[/QUOTE]I think Icon Bar could be worth visiting, a high class hotel night club might have really nice ladies. Have to check this one out. Roman suites is close to New World hotel so this is also easy to check. Thanks for tips Natty!

There is a traditional Thai massage join right behind New World Hotel. It is called Ton Ton Thai Massage. As you step out of the New World, make a left, and another left, walk past New World to the back of New World, cross the street. And go left, about a block on your left you will see a sign. 250 Pesos for 1 hour. 500 Pesos for 2 hour. Ugliest looking girls in Makati, but they have strong hands to make your scream.

Above Havana Cafe are bunch of restaurants. To the left of Havana, past Seattle Best Coffee, at the next building is Spicy Fingers. If you are there on Tuesday evenings, there is a decent live band.

Have fun. Wear condoms. Please.

Ciao,

This should be listed as a report of distinction. This is great (and accurate) info, well done CT.

[QUOTE=Cool Traveler; 1113858]Havana Pointers.

I had two trip this past three weeks. One over the new years, and another Jan 13 through 15th.

Ok. I have been to Havana several times the past 3 years. Actually, been there quite a few times and addicted to this place. Not just the Pinay's but the food and environment.

Havana Cafe is located in Greenbelt 3 in Makati. It is in between Starbucks and Seattle Best Coffee. For the kid who says he was lazy to walk to Havana from Starbucks, you were in the wrong Starbucks. Keyword in finding this Cafe is Greenbelt 3, Makati.

1. Havana does have a dance floor and sometimes a live band. It is inside. The tables are moved out later at night. During day time, it is a full fledged air-conditioned dining hall. Great food.

2. You will find a few girls during the day time. But for most not worth your efforts. Go somewhere else, if you are a day hunter. You might fare better at Robinsons Mall.

3. Caveat to daytime at Greenbelt. If you are good at picking up girls, Starbucks Greenbelt 3, right next door to Havana Cafe. Waitresses at many of the restaurants in Greenbelt 3 are great potential. Just have the guts to talk to them.

4. Seasoned hookers, working girls are there early in the evening on to catch the early birds. Basically the guys who most likely would pop. 5000 for an hour or two of bliss.

5. You will see a more varied stream of girls arriving after 9 pm, peaking somewhere between 11pm and 12pm.

6. Girls start leaving after 1 am, as most guys have gone back.

7. Most of the girls at Havana are hookers. Make no mistake of this. I have explained this in my other postings.

8. If you have picked up a girl once, expect to bump into her again on your next trip to Havana.

9. Be brutal if you don't want to be with the same girl. Tell her you want someone else. Sometimes, they will get another one for you. Afterall, they are hookers.

10. For those saying it is too much work and expensive, baloney. I seriously doubt you have tried Havana more than once. Lowest I have paid for 3 hours is 1500. Most 2500 for all nighter. Key is negotiate. When you negotiate, they will tell you you, give me whatever. Pay them 2500, inclusive of taxi cab fare.

11. Time spent is time you spend having a drink or two.

12. The food in Havana is great. I recommend the adobo kambing. Goes with the surrounding and couple of beers.

13. Do not let the girls order. You order, and only for the girl you are interested or having a conversation with. They do have a tendency to pretend they are going to the bathroom, but will place food and drink orders on the way back for themselves on your behalf for everybody at the table. If they get up and leave, make it clear, NO Ordering!

14. There are nice and pretty girls, and very fuckable girls, cheap at Havana. Ones that will give you a fullfledged GFE.

15. Girls on the periphery. As I took a walk one day, a girl from Seattle coffee got up and started following me (after I made eye contact). Definitely not a regular. Homely looking, but great body. I was not into it at that time, as I was headed to meet another girl.

16. Greenbelt 3 where Havana is located is a happening place at night. Other Cafe's and restaurant are also good sites. Spicy Fingers is where all the Call center folks go to. Plus some hookers.

17. My recommendation is just walk around. Enjoy yourself. Before you park your ass in one place.

18. I just cannot imagine paying 1500 to 2000 for barfine, and then deal with girl for anothe 2000 to 3000. I could do a 3 some for this at Havana, which I have done on 2 occasions. A total cost of 5000 for an all nighter 3 some with everything imaginable done except for anal and rimming.

19. And yes everybody knows, girls at Havana are there for one thing. I think all of Makati and Manila knows the drill.

There are many hotels within walking distance. Those interested in paying $100 bucks or so, I strongly recommend the New World Hotel about a few steps from Havana Cafe. Very nice hotel, highly accomodating to girls, nice swimming pool, nice breakfast, and very comfortable beds. I just got back from there, Saturday. Had a great time. [/QUOTE]

I travel to Manila every month or so for business, and always stay at the Shangri-la hotel there. Below are just general observations and comments on my overall experience. I'm back there next week and will submit more detailed information then.

HOTELS.

I find all the hotels to be girl-friendly or at least girl-neutral. This includes bringing girls back any time of day or night, or having a bar girl "drop by" after their P. Burgos shift. At most, security will call up to the room to verify that you are expecting a "guest". I usually send them down on their own after the deed, as I don't want to get out of bed. No problems with that either, and I tell the girls to have security call the room if they feel the hassle factor.

HAVANA.

I usually start my evening here, only because its usually too early to go directly to P. Burgos. I rarely pull a girl from here because I have jetlag and can't bother with all the fake flirting, etc. But the scene is hopping all night, most nights. I will say that the girls tend to be in packs and you have to separate the one you like from her leech-like friends. There are some stunners, but also a lot of mediocre girls here.

One other observation: This is one place that I would recommend going with a wingman. It helps with the multi-girl at a table vs. Single guy issues, gives you someone to talk to between scanning for the right girls and the atmosphere is not as supportive of lone table occupants.

P. BUGOS.

After Havana, I usually grab a cab to P. Burgos. Depending on the time, I have the taxi take me to Jools. I hardly ever pull girls from there, but I know the owner, and it's a good and hassle-free way to ease into the night. The floor show is as good as you're likely to get in Manila, and the girls are more professional, and don't bug you unless you want them to.

After Jools, I walk up the line. I will say that I skip most of the places, as they tend to have little atmosphere, listless girls, pushy Mama-sans, and are generally not fun. Exceptions are Banditos, Wild West and Flamingos. Usually some other punters there to shoot the shit with, enthusiastic girls and good vibe inside. I have both bar-fined girls and made side deals where they show at the hotel after they get off from work (after 4 or 5 am.)

ROMAN SUITES.

Been here a couple of times, but not really that impressed. Girls tend to be more mechanical and not that attractive. However, for daytime action with little surprise pricing, this is the place to go.

I was just walking through Greenbelt 3 and 2 the other day and noticed that there are a lot more Ladyboys than I had seen before. Some are obvious but in the dark, some aren't as obvious. I noticed most of them sitting at the tables outside of Seattle's Best.

Be careful. A little alcohol and the darkness may make it harder to see. I saw 2 Korean guys walk off with 1 questionable and 1 definite Ladyboy. I'm pretty sure they weren't looking for them and thought they were women but they were very inebriated.

Apparently the Makati police have chased them off of Makati Ave between Ayala and Paseo de Roxas where they used to be so you see a lot more of them at Greenbelt and Burgos now.

Some are obvious but in the dark, some aren't as obvious. I noticed most of them sitting at the tables outside of Seattle's Best.[/QUOTE]They're all over the perimeter of Havana. They aren't stupid. Starbucks, the entry way coffee shop near Makati Ave, the shadows, and as you say the Seattle's Best. Can't remember the place right next to Havana also, I'm assuming Seattle's Best is that corner as you walk towards 1, is it a bakery. There are quite a few sitting there. I don't ever see them sitting amongst the customers of Havana outside or inside the bar area.

Went out after the usual BS Filipino meal with my business partner. I got lucky. He was suffering from food poisoning. So was dropped back at the hotel early enough to get some rest and then head out.

Started off by walking to Havana, but did not feel like it. Hit the ATM and headed to Burgos. Jools was the first stop, as per my MO. Say the cabaret, which seemed a bit less polished than I remember. Maybe it was because the owner had not shown yet. Then some fugly chica from a past visit planted herself next to me ("remember me from last time?" blah, blah) , which just ruined the taste to the 150PHP beer for me. Other girls there looked okay, including some real stunners. Place was medium busy with what looked like a group of regulars (and possible ISG members?)

Walked up to Bandidos, which was very quiet. The 3 other customers departed shortly after my arrival. Two girls planted themselves on either side. One a good looking tall chica with a good ass, which is hard to find in this town. The other was mixed Filipino / black, and she was very cute in the face only. Ass too big and the rest too big also. I hate being the only guy in a place, so had one beer and left. Vibe was tired and desperate. Only about 10 girls overall in the place. Did not buy any LD here.

Went across the street to my favorite place, Bottoms. As expected, it did not disappointed. The place was packed with girls and punters. I like that much better as it creates a lively atmosphere. Others have noted the suspenders with shorts outfits, which allow for easy access and appraisal of chica tits, a real plus in a country where some bras look like the are chest scaffolding for girls with nothing to brag about. Very soon had a couple of cuties on either side, bought a couple of LDs at 390PHP a pop. Beer was 160PHP. LDs were enough get some groping, tit examination and LFK. Moved to the semi-private area and bought another round, including body shots (yes, I know, the tab is adding up) , which allowed for more aggressive groping, tit-sucking and lite lesbian kissing and tit-sucking. Nice. So, then picked one of the girls to BF, and took her back to the hotel. BF was 2700PHP. Discounted from the 3900PHP due to drinks bought credit. FYI, the other girl has two sister who also work there, so the mind rocks with the potential four-way, sister action potential.

Action in the room was good, but as is often case, she looked a hell of a lot better in the club than naked in front of me. Overall a good experience though, with DFK, DATY, BBBJ and various positions. She seemed enthusiastic enough. Damage for girl was 2000PHP.

Have to say that for all its flaws, I like the Burgos approach better than KTV or massage joints because I like the in-club GFE which allows a good assessment of whether the girls is fun to be with or just a cold fish in a bowl (LOL). I know the money is a more, but I pay a lot more for a lot less when I go out drinking in N. America or Europe. LD prices here match normal drink prices back home, after all.

Will try Havana tonight and see if the atmosphere is better. Still looking to go to MBC and EDSA Ent. Complex, but would prefer a wingman to go there with.

Send me a pm or I send you my email here if you are interested.

So are you saying for your fun at bottoms it cost you around 5500 php. I'm will be looking there for the first time next month. Just wondering what to expect.

Will be in Manilla in 2 weeks. But after wading to numerous pages I still can not find the answer to two questions:

- What is MBC? A shopping centre, fish bowl, nigntclub? Where is it located?

- Here will be several Robinson malls I assume in a big city like Manilla, so on which street is the one we are talking about here for picking up girls?

The Robinson Mall that you want is also in Malate. 5 min walk from MBC

Mackin:

Yeah, about right. But this was 3 rounds of drinks for 2 girls plus self. Plus the whatever you pay the girl. Have fun.

Cheers.
