    A mate of mine gave me a bottle of Lambanog, tasted wonderful. Anyone know where to find this in Dumaguete? (Distilled)

    Within the last couple of months, I bought a bottle of 'Manila' Lambanog - 80% proof, in Dumaguete. Problem is, I do not remember where! I usually buy 'bottles' from Sophia's, Lee Plaza or Robinsons. It does not have a price label, so I suspect it must have been from Robinsons supermarket in the Mall, since other bottles I have from Lee Plaza and Sophia's do have price labels

    It says on the label "LOOKS LIKE WATER, TASTES LIKE FIRE", so I was curious to check if this had any similarities with 'Aguardiente', which is very popular in Colombia and goes great with green mango and salt. Actually Lambanog doesn't taste anything like Aguardiente.

    Yup, Robinsons is the best bet. I see them on the shelves, but I haven't recently tried anything. Aguardiente sounds interesting. How does it taste?
