Local culture<\/a> (term) – everything we create and share as a part of our lives in the place where we live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays, with the ever-changing times and the desire for something that strays away from the traditional and towards into the new and exciting, dipping one’s in local culture can turn banal and unappealing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, the term “go local” gets taken for granted and even eschewed for something “better”. But what many people fail to realize is that choosing local needn’t have to be boring, ordinary or nakakasawa. In fact, when handled the right way, it can be an eye-opener<\/strong> to all the possibilities of what local culture can be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still doubtful? Allow us, rather, allow The Minokaua – a deceivingly hip resto-bar in Manila – to give you a taste of local culture in a new light<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located along Adriatico Street, what makes The Minokaua stand out from the rest of the bars in the area is that it’s not only a drinking place and restaurant<\/strong> but it’s also a melting pot for all local creatives<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fun fact:<\/strong> The name of the restaurant is actually a bird-dragon in Philippine folklore that's believed to swallow the moon causing the lunar eclipse. In order for the Monkaua to spit out the moon, local would make loud tribal sounds to scare the creature. <\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Fun fact<\/strong>: The digital artworks adorning the walls are made by local artists. <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
