Angeles City

[QUOTE=Matius]Some suggestions:

Zappata's Mexican is good, and a recent addition for takeout or delivery is Crazy Burrito.

Cottage Kitchen (or is it Country Kitchen), serves an outstanding meal, particularly their ribs.

Kashmir Restaurant in Eruptions Bar is serving an excellent authentic Curry.

Swiss Chalete has often been reported as having one of the best steaks in Angeles.

Not that I agree, but many swear by the Bunny Burger Hamburger.

Many like C Italian, I've had both good and bad meals there, but overall positive.

123 Pizza is very good for a delivered pizza.[/QUOTE]I've tried all of the above except cottage kitchen.

Frankly I can't stay more than a few days in AC only because the food is so depressing. AC is good for girls but without any doubt I'd rank it as the place in the world with the worst cuisine! (and that comes from someone who is half french and half suisse, erm swiss).

Like you I find C Italian was overrated.

When I think of the buffet for 1500 PHP at Shangri La Makati and I pay almost same for a crappy meal in AC I just feel like crying.

I used to be a big hater of the food there in AC, but I think it's gotten better overall. I recommend you take the time to go out to Cottage Kitchen. It's not cheap, but it's good.

I'll be in AC next week, and was wondering which bars have a decent selection of bi-girls. I'll likely try for a 3-some once or twice, and want to find some girls who are...shall we say, not shy with each other :-).

[QUOTE=Matius]Of late a number of people have been complaining about all sorts of sickness related to digestion. I don't eat at the Amsterdam (if you are speaking of the Black Angus Restaurant) anymore, they have been serving some truly lousy meals of late, and the guy that runs the kitchen also runs the kitchen at the Paradise Beer Garden and the recently opened Philly's Steak.

123 Pizza is very good for a delivered pizza.

Fortuna Restaurant is known for good Chinese, of late many people are also going to the Shanghai Restaurant (can't speak from personal experience).

It gets mixed reviews, but never heard of anyone getting sick, but some like the Clarkton Buffet.

Azzura (spelling??) above Lancelot does a good Italian meal if the owner is cooking.

Then for the budget minded, both Brass Knob and Wobbly Boot serve basic meals, never heard of anyone getting sick (although Wobbly Boot is not much to look at).

I don't know of true five star dining in Angeles, but then when an average course is costing between $4 to $15, how could it. I do think one can eat at more than a number of places without worry of getting sick, to a degree it depends on whether the owner is western (foreigner) and whether he is actively engaged in the food preparation. If the owner is just delegating it out to his Filipino workers to prepare, then quality and safety can be hit and miss.

Also one suggestion, pay attention to how the food may be prepared. Drinking tap water can cause all kinds of problems, so if you are eating a salad (fresh vegetables or fruit) that has been cleaned in Tap Water it could cause you problems.[/QUOTE]
If you stay away from the Field area the hotels are better and serve better western food.I normally stay at places such as Holiday Inn,Oxford or better still Fontana.These are at Clarke.Taxi fare is only P300 each way.You can befriend the taxi drivers and they do have 24 hour service with each taxi operated by 2 drivers working on shift.These hotels offer better security service and the places are too far for runners,thus your BF will have to stay till next day,when you decide to call for transport.

I've only been in AC a couple of times and I ate at my hotel LGH most of the time other than a few other low budget places. Im sure LGH prices would be on the high side but the food was very good and I enjoyed eating at the outdoor bar/cafe over looking the pool. I tried just about everything on the menu and it was good.

I have tried everything to start a new tread but for some reason I can't. I wrote to Jackson so hopefully he can organize something. By the looks of it and the PVT responses I got it seems that we need one. I for one think that Manila should have enough good restaurants and if we share the info then we can probably work out a top 10-20... As of AC, thanks for everyone that replayed... I have reshuffled my calender and it seems I will have time for one more Thailand/Philippines holiday this year so I am looking froward to trying some of the places you have listed here... I will be on the Philippine Airlines flight on the 9th from Bangkok so I am looking forward to few days in Manila and AC. I was hoping to hit Davao this time but I will have to leave that for next time.

Almost all the bars have girls that will do that. Not to say all the girls will do it. Three some, four some, many some is hardly a problem, lesbian generally requires help from the mamasan to know which girls are game for it. Recommend you avoid getting a dyke for the party, while she may be up for the girl, she may not want you. Finally, a general rule its hard for the customer to arrange girls independent of the mamasan, girls will say yes in the bar, then no in the room.

I know the cuisine in both of your countries and Angeles City can in no way compete with those experiences. Come on, some of the best chefs in the world work there, the best cooking schools in the world are there.

The gentleman was concerned about getting sick and most restaurants, including the hotel restaurants are what might be considered just "ok" in most Western countries. C Italian gets mixed reviews on being over-rated, but don't think anyone will get sick eating there, and the food is ok. 1500 p is a fairly pricey meal for Angeles city, you must be dining with others or ordering wine. Most meals here won't cost you more than 500 p, and many much less.

I think there are enough restaurants here to provide an acceptable meal, but world class cuisine forget it. I just don't know or heard of a true 5 star restaurant. Again, would caution all to watch out for food preparation, you must avoid the tap water here, particularly if not use to it, also the restaurants mentioned in my previous post.

Thanks Matius. I guess my first LD will be for the mamasan.

Angeles is not a premier destination. C Italian is at most a 3 star (out of 5) but Angeles is jsut a sex destination.

If it is all spruced up; now there is a thought!

Good advice there, I would look at smaller bars rather then the big ones. If on fields look at Dirty Duck. In smaller bars girls interact with each other a lot more and you can pick the friends quickly then talk to mamasan... Also I would suggest picking one girl and then let her pick a friend or two...

Has anyone done any of the ABC hotel girls? The pool bar always has few working ladies and they do a "massage" for 3000 peso. From what I gather mainly local girls (AC girls). Millage on them would be a lot less then the rest of AC considering that only few guests tend to hang around the bar...

Yes, a very very good point, thanks for the save. Forget the big show bars or even the smaller bars owned by the big groups, they run so many girls and mamasans it would be frustrating (the girls exist there, its just getting to someone that knows the girls). In my mind I was thinking of Perimeter Road bars as being the easiest to speak with a mamasan and find the girls desired. I don't know about Dirty Duck anymore, they've lost so many girls, running scared from the recent raid, not hearing good things about the bar since it re-opened. Right now, if I were looking on Fields, would recommend Body Shop. They currently have a great line up of girls who have very liberal thinking.

ABC does not have working girls, they have a straight massage parlor... They only cater to their guests. Just walking in unknown off the street would not be accepted.

ABC pool bar and sky bar are owned by the same person who runs Golden Garter and Love and Music. The ABC girls (if you want to call them that) rotate into those two bars. You are right they do have low mileage, more so there are some very unique looking girls, my opinion some of the best in Angeles. BF run from 1,500 to 3,000 in those two bars and you can access the talent without having to be a guest at ABC.

That is kind of high for 3000 pesos just for a massage without FS, I am sure they will do FS on the side if the price is right.
