THAT CHILLED MUG

I and my friends in pre-med used to frequent this fast food chain back in the 90s because of their double spaghetti promo for the price of less than PhP 25 and of course their famous rootbeer float.  Those were the happy days until it died down in Manila for unknown reason. :(

Some 17 years after, I was like a kid again when I and my 2 other colleagues went grocery shopping and enjoyed lunch at A&W in Jusco Mall in Seberang Prai City,  Burkit Mertajam…It’s so nostalgic! LOL!

I bet loyal Pinoy patrons of A&W before in Manila also miss that chilled mug of rootbeer float…

For someone like me whose daily lunch last month was mostly spicy and curried from the university canteen,  a bun of  cheeseburger, curly fries, and a large chilled mug of rootbeer float with 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream were indeed pure happiness on a tray. :)

Although our kid is known partial to McDonald’s, I know Gabby and even Tina will like it too…

And you?

    I miss A&W rootbear floats. When I was in High School, my friends and I would have merienda at A&W at Fiesta Carnival in Cubao, (where KFC is now located) before riding the jeepney home. We would stare at the crew when getting the mug at the chiller and the ginormous scoop of vanilla ice cream :)
