I say "conveniently" because you can head straight to the store when you think you want more of that kimchi. Or rice juice. (I love rice juice by the way. They have it in their fridge for Php 75 a bottle. It's a pretty rare find, since the first bottle I had was purchased in Hong Kong.) I love how this shop has an abundance of ramyeon (well duh!!) and snacks that cannot be easily found here. I even found some liquid soap brands that Korean idols claim to be using. That being said, you can't expect them to have everything because it's a pretty small shop. You can, however, expect them to help you with your daily ice cream fix, as they have so many K ice cream variants in stock.

But that's neither here nor there. The name works as far as the owners are concerned. And while there may be a number of supermarkets in the vicinity, starting with an SM Supermarket at the SM City at the Bicutan exit, to a smallish Tropical Hut in the middle of Dona Soledad Avenue, to a relatively new Puregold also along the main thoroughfare of Bicutan, Paranaque, but Big C has kept its clientele through the years. Incidentally, there are also a number of 7-Elevens and Mini Stops in the general area, but no problemo for the owners of Big C. The place just keeps rolling along with the times. There's no secret to the success of Big C. It may not look like much from the outside, but inside it is surprisingly air-conditioned. Best of all, their prices are still the lowest in the area. Because of this, a lot of restaurants in this part of town still get their supplies from this old supermart. It has everything that the big supermarkets have, there's sufficient parking, and once you've become a suki (regular customer), the cashiers will be friendly to you. For those who get hungry while shopping, there's a siomai stall at the entrance. There's also a small restaurant that's part of Big C, but I've never gotten around to trying it out yet.

Place is huge and spacious so you're sure to expect a wide array of product offerings. They even have their own hardware, drugstore and appliance store so it will definitely be your one-stop-shop. There's even a small play area and a set of food stalls where you can leave companions who are not involved in the shopping behind. If I had my own sari-sari store I'm sure I'll frequent this place more because items are sold on wholesale prices. I'm also amazed on how prices can get really low for highlighted items, products and packages. You just need a little patience when lining up in the cashiers as people tend to hoard stuff. They should also consider adding more basket lanes. Nevertheless, I still enjoy it in the neighborhood as it has everything under one roof, at an arm's reach.

Oh please. I know nothing about grocery shopping…read more Don't ask me how the prices are compared to other groceries. Or if their fish are fresh, chickens new and if their fruits just came off the tree. I wouldn't have any idea. My mom just drags me this supermarket when she's too lazy to go to Makati or Alabang. She calls this place a high end sari-sari store. Well, that's kind of true I guess. They have the basics: food, drinks, house stuff, soap, shampoo and stuff that you can find in your neighborhood sari-sari store. The difference? Robinson's Supermarket is clean, cold and it's pretty comfortable to shop here. They rarely have imported goods. When they do, I grab the chance and stock up on Cherry Coke and Vanilla Coke. In other supermarkets, they put certain items on sale every month. Robinson's does the same, but they don't put on sale items that are nearing their expiration date. This is great! The only time I've seen and experienced waiting in line to pay for what seemed like an eternity was last Christmas, New Year and Holy Week. On regular days and at all times, the lines are short, the cashiers work fast and all their workers are really helpful and friendly. Just in case you get hungry or bored while doing your groceries, there are little food stalls to fill you up.

They have the most spacious and airy grocery layout in the Alabang -- layout is straightforward and easy to navigate, aisles are spaced out and do not feel cramped and cluttered. Their meat and produce selection is excellent and priced fairly. Most common brands and products are available. They have a small alcoholic beverage selection and natural/organic section too. Compared to other groceries in the area, their cashiers and baggers are faster and more efficient when ringing up items and bagging them. Long lines are managed properly. Parking can be quite tricky especially during peak times but overall it isn't too bad and if you purchase a minimum of Php 300 (or is it 500? Suddenly I can't remember whoops), parking is free for a few hours.

The highlights, for me, are the great variety of greens, fruits and vegetables (including organic ones!) and the fact that they sell Santïs meats, so I don't have to do two shopping trips. They sell also a good variety of rice (if you're not used to the filipino one, then they have Basmati, Jasmine, Brown Rice and much more) and beans. Thanks to the beans from Landmark, I can keep the Brazilian "rice and beans" tradition at home. And believe me, that means a lot to me :) I also love Landmark's food court. There's a green juice in some stall there that's is just perfect. I also like Bread Talk and Kumori, the Japanese bakery. I mean, there's a lot to explore there before you start pushing your shop cart! TIP: Landmark is cheaper than Rustan's and has much more variety than the SM Supermarket. Choose it for the big once-a-month grocery.

When I'm too lazy to head to SM Supermarket, or if I need something that I know Tropical Hut Supermarket, an even smaller supermarket, doesn't have (they're all on the same street, by the way), I go to Puregold. This place is usually always busy, and the queues are long. Some sari-sari store owners even shop for their paninda here. But I do go here for specific things, such as herbs (they have a decent selection), frozen Indian aloo paratha/other frozen vegan Indian food, mantou, and chips. If we're talking about international/imported goods, they have an inconsistent selection, and it varies from time to time but it's only a small shelf. I did find Bragg stuff here (Apple Cider Vinegar), and a good brand of Thai coconut milk, which surprised me. Yes I find it surprising that this place will actually have the more unpopular imported products. If you're thinking of purchasing pet supplies, don't bother looking here as they only have very few selections, and no cat litter!

Since I spend P20K at S&R/Landers, I'm not concerned about the prices at Pioneer Center because they are reasonable and available.

Their promos keep changing every week which is why I'm almost always there to avail of sweet deals! Also, they accept ALL credit cards. They have free parking here too.

This Better Living branch is located at Dona Soledad Extension and when I went there last week, they were all complaining that the ongoing roadworks were killing their business. But I asked how they were doing before the road was closed for repairs. The lady behind the counter told me that business was pretty good up to that point. For now, they had to stay open for their clients who ordered and expected their hot pancit malabon delivered to their doorstep. They have a steady clientele so that the business continued to operate despite the absence of walk-in clients. The same cannot be said of the store beside them that specialized in pares and was previously open 24 hours a day. To be honest, I never liked pancit malabon, but it is clear that a lot of people do. Dolora's has been operating since 1990, so that's a good quarter century of providing the noodles with seafood-based sauce to countless Filipinos. I prefer pancit palabok myself, but most everyone I know like both palabok and malabon. Since they've been around for 25 years, I suppose bringing a bilao of their pancit would be most welcome when going to friends' homes to visit.
