Sunrise Buckets

If you are searching for the best wings in the metro, you should not miss the different flavors of wings at Sunrise Buckets. I will try to come up with a story where the name came from. Sunrise, maybe because you can stay there until the sun rises. The resto looks like a cool hangout spot to drink beer, gobble chicken wings, and chill with friends. Buckets, possibly because the wings are served in metal buckets. But hey, remember this just came from me.. Ah, should have asked them.

Sunrise Buckets’ Bucket

Though I don’t frequent Greenhills area (because I am not a fan of large crowds of people so I frequent Eastwood City and BGC), Sunrise Buckets is not difficult to find. It is a few blocks away from Greenhills Shopping Center – a popular destination for cheap gadgets and apparels. While on the road, you can easily spot the large sign saying “Sunrise Buckets”, so you’ll definitely NOT get lost.

Inside Sunrise Buckets

Sunrise Buckets has a cozy atmosphere – providing a relaxing illusion that you are by the beach with ice cold beer in one hand and flavorful chicken wing on the other. It is decorated with lots of colorful surfboards and out front is an area where you can pose riding a wave and quickly snap a photo.

Sunrise Buckets is probably a beer haven to its patrons. It has local and some imported beers. It also has a mean rootbeer they use for their rootbeer float. In the following image, spot which doesn’t belong on the shelf.

Bummers : started a bit late, transferred rooms but overall experience was super!

In the Western part of the world, wine appreciation is considered an essential part of dining. This practice is gradually becoming more prevalent in our culinary culture. So, as a foodie, I decided to attend the first of the series of wine appreciation classes held at Enderun Colleges in Taguig City.

The wine appreciation night was led by Gerald Savigny, a very knowledgeable wine connoisseur, who has over 18 years of experience working in distinguished restaurants and hotels all over Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. He isn’t only an expert in wines but he was also able to impart knowledge about wines in the most interesting way possible.

In the Italian Wine Appreciation, we tasted 4 wines from different regions of Italy – 2 white and 2 red wines. As we went along the different regions, we were allowed to taste the wines. We didn’t have to wait until the end of the discussion to taste them.

We were also taught how to expertly swirl the wine glass, identify aromas or “nose the wine”, identify colors, body, and flavors of the wine.
