Z Bar and Tinder Box

5/21/2012

over the weekend, saturday, may 19, 2012, burnz and i met with her other set of friends which became my new set of friends as well. it was wine night for all of us. best place to go which has the best wine selections, The Tinder Box. Its a two storey building which has a bar at the second floor called, "Z". commonly known as the "Z Bar" here in Cebu. Here's our ganap at Z.
the Z Bar is designed by world famous furniture designer, Kenneth Cobonpue, a Cebuano. when you enter this bar, its like a cave, a very sosyal cave! :) here's how it looks at a better angle. Dan shared to me that the stairs we stepped on before we reach the bar's entrance is made of Onyx! it reminded me of an article on KC Concepcion's condo unit in Makati which has a statement wall which divides her kitchen from the living room area and its made from Onyx. Yes, there are tiles that is made from Onyx, and according to that article, Onyx is very brittle so it breaks easily, and its very expensive, and we were just literally stepping on it! hahaha... how sosyal can that be? lol :)
i also took pics of their loo. hahaha! burnz told me that its nice din daw. ok naman... see my comments sa mga pics below. :)
everyone will agree that what's best paired with wine is cheese. so, burnz and dan ordered their favorite cheese, the age old cheese. as to how old the cheese is, we don't know! hahahaha... basta, bet nila ang lasa ng cheese na ito. ok naman siya for me kasi wala naman akong macompare with that cheese that night. had we ordered another type of cheese, i would know which one is better. there's always a next time though. :)

age old cheese paired with wine and burnz had greens with sesame vinaigrette. the vinaigrette was really good, as in!
here's another thing i enjoyed, we had our own butler who refills our wine glass whenever it runs out of wine. so sosyal! kaya lang, when we got our bill, we were wondering why each wine bottle has a service charge. naloka kami lahat! hahahaha... iba ang service charge for the greens of burnz, hindi pinalampas! hahaha :) ... here's the major ganap while we're in Z, a foreigner complained and said to the waiter to minimize our voices, which the waiter relayed to us! hahaha... naloka kami lahat kasi its the second time na pala that their group's attention was called. the last time that they were there, at the Tinder Box, sa ground floor, a supplier of Hannah (Interior Designer) really approached her and said to the group to minimize their voices. hahahaha... ngayon, kasali ako sa grupo, our attention was called na naman! hahahaha... but we said, HELLO, its a bar nga diba? so, pwede mag-ingay! hahaha... but we decided to bring our noise somewhere else! hahaha :) here's the ganap of our change location peg! lol :)

we then went to Maya Mexican Resto (I blogged about Maya) and brought our noise there! hahaha... Maya and Tinder Box is located on the same street so may i tawid lang kami sa kabilang building. lol :) ... At Maya, we had mojitos and quezo fundido. we had a  very good laugh and convo at Maya.
after Maya, burnz, dan and hannah felt hungry so we proceeded to Ramen 168 Noodle House, located beside Maya Resto. There, they satisfied their hunger. hahaha... here's our ganap there.
after Ramen 168, we decided to have more wine since dan brought wine with him. this time, we proceeded to hannah's residence! walang humpay na inuman, kaloka! :) ... at hannah's place, we played pinoy henyo while drinking wine. sobrang lakas ng tawanan namin, sobra! i really had a good time playing the pinoy henyo game, as in! by the way, hannah is the interior designer of some of the fine establishments here in Cebu. the likes of "The Pantry" (link: click here), and Red Mango in Ayala. here's the ganap at hannah's crib. :)
that saturday night was a totally hilarious unwinding experience with these guys, super! the stories, experience and games shared were fun and i cant help but recall. i hope everybody still remembers what we've been through that night! hahaha! oh well, cheers to another loud gathering and story telling! :)

i don't know, but i think God just gave me a sign. Ciara Co is the owner of Cebu Home Builders, Dan Climaco is the owner of Curtains Unlimited, Hannah Lim is a known Interior Designer, and i was with my ever supportive friend, Burnz. I was surrounded with people that has something to do with designs that night. I guess this is a sign that I really need to finish my house! hahaha... Ciara, Dan and Hannah, wag nyo ako tipirin sa discounts! hahahaha :)

by the way guys, are we banned at Tinder Box? hahahaa :)

tight hugs,
AC
