Chocolate with Bingo & Mila

Today, Friday is a holiday. End of Ramadan. And last night, Chief and I met up with our couple friend from Vietnam. Bingo and Mila Pantaleon. We had first met them in Saigon, through a referral from Maribel Regino, who used to live and work in Saigon before she moved to Jakarta (and now based in Bangkok).

Bingo who was then Marketing Director of United Pharmaceuticals had entrusted his brands to McCann Erickson, which was led by Chief. Today, they are based in Jakarta. We had visited them nearly four years ago (2004). And whenever they are in Manila, meeting them for coffee would be part of their itinerary.

Caught with them around 9pm at Larry’s Bar at Serendra. They had ordered lechon. Wow. Cholesterol. I ordered from Cherry one ice-cold San Mig Light Beer Cherry. Chief and I had eaten dinner at home earlier, as we watched the 1st episode of Kelsey Grammer presents The Sketch Show.

Chief, Mila and Bingo had the “Original Sin” chocolate cake while I tried the Breakfast Blondie cake. Photo shows the 7,500 peso coffee maker and 45 peso per slice cakes. Back in Vietnam, the old fashioned coffee strainer cost only around $5.00. hehehe
