Been drinking coffee since I was four. Though it wasn't exactly drinking as my dad used to serve it to me with rice. Have you guys had "kanin kape"? haha, sounds weird. But it tasted really good to a four year old. And it seemed I preferred it to our "ulam". I tried it when i was older, it wasn't the same but still okay. Of course it evolved to taking coffee without the rice. =@ Hi! Been drinking coffee since I was four. Though it wasn’t exactly drinking as my dad used to serve it to me with rice.

Figaro's okay (the one at Emerald stinks, though, along with their dry pastries). Chowking's coffee is surprisingly good too, because it's -- surprise, surprise -- Nescafe instant coffee in sachets. In other cafes I almost always ask for Macchiato, nothing else. At the Dome it's middling, Mocha Blends is rather bitter and over-roasted, and McDonald's coffee has that mysterious power to transform my McBreakfast to McPoopers in 30-45 minutes, without fail.

Even if it's ROASTED RICE COFFEE (my Lola used to make when i was small, we don't have money and so she roasted rice pour hot water on it, sifted it and viola, looks like coffee, tastes like, burnt rice, it was ok we had coffee, o, di ba?)you're having as long as you're in a nice atmosphere it always tastes goood. My idea of a nice place to have your cuppa is some sort of small Italy, you have it outside and just enjoy the sun and the people passing by. Damn it won't work there in Pinas, you drink your kape outside it would get dusty. Hmmmm. you know what ,i think coffee tastes good depending in which place you’re having your cuppa.

Here in Belgium they have thousands of varities, what we have back there doesn't even come close. Next time you visit Europe, check out Antwerp, you have a free tour guide, assistance, you name it, we'll check out the best coffee.

Those Figaro baristas are lucky they don’t have to scream like jerks to have someone pickup their lousy coffee. A security guard once attempted to buy coffee from us for 20bucks and we just couldn’t resist the temptation to snicker. ‘Sa Dunkin Donuts nga 30 pesos ang kape noh.’ was all my manager could say.

I couldn't find it when I was in the Philippines. Also, I heard a BBC news item about the latest attempt to run ferries on the Pasig River. I remember that Jessica wrote about one of the previous ferry programs in one of the Twisted volumes. The BBC reporter sounded like he really didn't want to be on that boat. Also, since the Bee Gees were blaring on the ferry, he had to yell his report. Anyway, just found it funny... Jara Speaking of K-Lite and podcasts, is Jessica’s cd still available?

Thank you! Labo! Eherm, OK! Dunkin also serves the BEST hot chocolate! If you like your hot choco not too thick and sweet. Yummy. They also have the BEST donuts - walang sinabi yung Krispy Kreme, Mr. Donuts or GoNuts (buhay pa ba yun?). Tinalo pa ng Dunkin yung favorite sugar-coated donut na binibili ko nun sa Kalookan Biglang Awa bakery. Also, OVALTINE is the best Jessica!!!! I love it plain! Hehe I don’t drink coffee but I would still like to comment ok? Thank you!
