Maybe. I've never heard of any. Seems like a waste of money to me since women in the Philippines cost about the same as a sandwich.

There’s “KTV room” bars in the Philippines which kinda fit the description except sexual relations are definitely on the table lol. These are usually pretty seedy looking nothing classy/legit like hostess bars exist there as far as I know.

As a filipino, I don't think you're missing much
There's sinigang, there's nilaga, lumpiang shanghai, kare kare, and desserts that I don't know the name of. The rest of it is ehhhh
Sorry filipinos don't kill me

It's a 3rd world country with lots of poverty. Prices of everything is pretty cheap compared to what we're used to. My friend would get buckets and buckets of beer at nightclubs for $15-20. Good food is cheap too but servings so small that I was wanting 2 or 3 orders.

Everyone else.
Japan not all Anime & Sushi.
Of course this goes other way in other Asian countries too, but they are really blatant.
Tackling signs in Japan that you're not welcome
Some Japanese businesses post signs barring foreign people from entering. What can you do about it?
Why is racism so big in Japan?
It’s not just some Japanese shops that try to bar foreigners – schools and landlords can be equally unwelcoming. So maybe it’s not surprising a government adviser has called for apartheid, South Africa style.

the classic/quintessential Filipino dessert is halo-halo
shaved ice, condensed milk, ice cream, and miscellaneous toppings. talagang sarap on a hot day

The no- non japanese policy at these hostess bar is not much about racism.
1. They are probably operating illegally. These girls are usually on student visas so not premitted to work.
2. The girls mostly speak Japanese so why even bother
3. Foreginers tend to not understand where they at, and get touchy feeling, or start fights.

Similar but a bit classier I guess. I’ve never been to a Japanese one but I’ve gone to a Korean hostess bar in Koreatown before. It was aight but I was the only person there who wasn’t fully Korean (I’m half) and even I had trouble getting in at first. I doubt anybody non Korean could get into this one.
Honestly though, I rather just take the drive to the OC and hit up a Vietnamese coffee shop then do the hostess bar again.

The gap between the Philippines and the USA is so crazy.
My cousins from my dad's side who live in what's considered a wealthy neighborhood in the Philippines were
at my parents' home when they visited one time like ten years ago. They were blown away by everything.
They'd probably get a heart attack if they saw the kinds of houses my cousins from my mom's side live in. My mom's side are wealthy even by American standards.

First time breaking bread with some Filipinos when moved for work in Bay Area back in the day was good. Just general basic stuff like lumpia, pancit, etc. But the thing that got me was the red chili sauce was Sweet. That through me off cause I like Spicy.

yes ube ice cream. also jello, red beans, a slice of leche flan, and it looks like jackfruit up in that one.
I'd say Goldilocks or Chow King, can't really mess up/variate from the recipe too much, its very basic

cafe di vang...?
Although the last 2 times I went to a Vietnamese coffee shop were at Cafe 168.
Last time I went to Cafe Lu, one of the girls was trying to get 2 of my homies to subscribe to her only fans page lol.
