Weng- Wengs!
I’ve moved into Mark’s old room (Basak, my shiny new housemate has taken over my old one) and I’m STILL in the process of getting everything back into order. While ripping through my room, I discovered a scrap piece of paper with the following:
½ J* – Tanduay Rum
½ J – Gin
½ J – Vodka
½ J – Triple Sec
½ J – Whisky
Top up with juice.
The recipe for a ‘Weng-Weng 2000’. Perhaps the best cocktail in the world. The best I’ve found anyway.
For the Aussies (and most of the other delegates) the Weng-Weng became our staple; I swear, it’s the Philippines in liquid form. I will never forget on our first night out during pre-conference, JM asking me ‘Have you tried a Weng- weng yet? After being shown (by pointing at the menu) that the cocktail actually did exist, and I wasn’t being had we all became hooked.
Here’s to Weng-Wengs!
(*Apparently ‘J’ is a Filipino measure… I promise you… whatever ‘J’ is; its substantial…)
