How could I forget that old, dirty, and cramped house along Asturias Street? Anyone who's spent time in the UST area surely is familiar with this "institution." Cheap beer, cheap rice meals, cheap everything. It's not uncommon to find students cutting classes to have a bottle of two of Red Horse beer here in the afternoon (not that I'm advocating for such exploits).
I especially miss the legendary karaoke machine on the second floor. I hope it's still there. I actually detest karaoke, but for some reason, it was all good times for me up there. I even vividly remember the old machine having Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth. I still can't quite understand or comprehend why I enjoyed my times at Tapsi. Maybe it was the company or affordable booze. Looking back, I'm just glad I got out of Asturias street at night safely without getting stabbed or robbed. read more
