I come by The Ramp all the time because even though I rarely ever buy anything, I think their…read moreclothes are always plenty eye-catching and intriguing without having to be so on trend all the time. I'm especially a big fan of their Yhansy line of accessories, which used to have its own stall in Shangri-La I've had to say goodbye to. Their stuff can be a little odd sometimes, which I like, and they're not all that expensive either. Their men's clothes can also be quite interesting, especially the Mundo line, which is always out there, with the prices to match. The shoes can be good though, and are much more affordable. There are a lot more stores in the place for sure, but I guess the problem is the whole area can get a little muddled and confusing, with their home line being hidden in the corner, covered by children's clothing, and all the women's clothes overlapping each other. It's honestly a bit cluttered, which is why they don't get as much traffic as they'd want from what I can tell.

Like I could really like this dress, but I wouldn't know that it's not uso anymore or that it's drab or boring. It's like fashion-blindness. Everything looks good on a hanger or a mannequin. So imagine me in a place with lots of good clothes like The Ramp Crossings in Trinoma. PROS: The place is just so classy and beautiful, like a #ladyboss type of store with crisp shirts and stylish dresses. There is a huge variety of styles - from the trendy and edgy, to the girly florals and flowy fabrics, to the classic LBDs and killer heels. The Ramp has it all. I can't help but get lost in the beauty of all these clothes I think I'd never get to pull off; They have shoes, accessories, even some pieces of furniture and décor at their Crossings Home brand. CONS: When you buy clothes from Crossings, you're dressed to kill. And it kills the budget too because their apparels are fairly expensive. It's on the mid- to high-range pricing, which I think is justifiable given the good clothes that they sell. TL;DR: The Ramp Crossings offers stylish pieces and classy accessories for the Manila fashionista.

If it wasn't for all the Filipinos inside the mall, it'd remind me of the malls in California. It's…read morea pretty mall with fountains outside and architecture that makes you ooh and ahh inside your head. It gets crowded due to being one of the nicer, fancier malls. Like amusement park crowded. Grab a buddy and you'll be fine. They seem to have everything here too. Even a chapel that has masses. No joke. I was walking through the mall when I saw crowds of people standing. For mass. The masses get so much traffic that people have to stand outside the chapel. People don't stare at you here like at most other public places. I would think it's because most of the people here are middle and upper middle classes and a lot of tourists probably come here so it's nothing new to them. I liked this mall.

My mom would always instruct me to go to Farmers' Market early in the morning of every Sunday to buy the freshest and rare fish. It was dreadful for me because waking up at around 3:30 am, going to the market by 4 and bargaining with the vendors kinda stress me out. Actually, waking up early stresses me. When Fisher Mall opened, it was heaven for me. I don't need to wake up early plus, the many variants of fish and sea creatures this supermarket offers makes me feel I'm in an interactive museum. You see live fish and shrimps, clams spit out water and sand. You learn new things here in the supermarket. I just feel sad for those lapu-lapu, shrimps, and hito being killed. What's best for me is that they deliver the freshest fish from the port of Navotas straight here by 7 am AND 4pm. So, no need to wake up early! In the fish section, too, is very organised, clean, and has the most courteous staff. So, enjoy your fi

I had the opportunity to visit this mall recently as my cousin took me here to get my hair done at her hair and makeup studio, Introspect which is located on one of the upper levels near the Fisher Department Store. I came here on a Thursday around lunch time and the mall wasn't as crowded as it was on the weekend, specifically on a Sunday. There are so many eateries here to choose from which also includes my cousin's restaurant, Hen Lin. I learned this mall went through a lot of reconstruction in order to have major food tenants occupy the area in addition to an updated galley food court. A mini park was also built beside the mall on Quezon Avenue, known as Fisher Parkway, which houses one of my favorite stores, Uniqlo. Fisher Mall has 5 floors + 3 levels for basement parking. We usually avoided parking in the basement and would park on the street, as this was the most convenient for us. This mall has a fresh seafood market in addition to tons of stores and venue stalls to shop from. Your options are endless here when it comes to food, shopping, activities and entertainment. They've got live entertainment, a cinema that offers online reservations and comfortable seating and even a place to gather and play Bingo! Their mall is also pet friendly with an elevator that actually says "Pet Friendly Elevator", lol. Overall, Fisher Mall is fairly clean with many affordable options to please your family's cravings and personal needs.

StrEat Maginhawa Food Park has, among other outlets, a coffee joint, a milkshake place, an italian outlet, an Ice Cream food truck, and a couple of outlets that serve comfort food (Read: Rice, rice, and more rice).

What matters is you know that not all stores carry the same items, and that their stock is refreshed fairly quickly. From the main entrance, the males clothing is on the left, the women's on the right, and the children's in the middle. Go back every two weeks or so, so you can spot new items or markdowns on current ones. Old inventory items go into transparent packs at even lower prices, so happy hunting! Also: all retail stores in SM North close at 10pm, but interestingly, Uniqlo stays open till 11 on weekends. If you're waiting for a movie or shopping late (or for an emergency!), Uniqlo might save the day.

I have this attitude of wearing whatever feels comfy, then just have the attitude to make it work. Whenever I do shop, I take hours because I'm very meticulous. If the cloth quality isn't good enough, I itch like crazy. Luckily, shops like Uniqlo are here in Metro Manila to provide good quality shirts and other clothes that you can wear for your everyday casual whatever. PROS: I love buying their blazers and cardigans because they can make my Minnie Mouse shirt and jeans look sharp and meeting-with-the-boss ready. They're not that stuffy too, with this soft stretchy fabric that I don't even have to iron; Their designs are modern and trendy, but can also cater to a huge market - from the titas to the toddlers. Family friendly; I love how attentive and friendly the staff are; Their location is bright and huge. It makes the hours I spend inside, while walking slowly and reading all the labels, easy and calming. CONS: Polo shirts can cost up too P990.00, so Uniqlo's wares are not cheap at all. They make it up for quality though, and they hold sales occasionally. TL;DR: Uniqlo is not exactly cheap, but you definitely get value for your money for quality products and cute designs.

Something I'm not use to but it is what is done routinely in this country. We bought a few things and enjoyed the food court and cafe. I have to say their choices of eats are amazing. My children kept talking about how they want to go back when we go to Manila. We ordered a little of everything on the menu to try it out. We did come here as a large group At the food court we ordered: Pasta. Two choices both are amazing. Yet my nephew was not use to savory Italian style pasta. My children did enjoy every bite.

We had already eaten all of it when we saw the sauce. Very tasty. Pizza. Whole wheat crust. I have to say this was very good. My husband ordered a supreme pizza. The cafe is a sweet treat.

Landers is a price club shopping outlet just like S&R. This is the second of two outlets that have…read moreopened in Metro Manila. The other one is in the Otis area of Paco. It is subdivided similarly. On the right side from the entrance, there are electronics, home and office furniture and accessories, toys, clothes, some white goods, some small appliances. On the left side are their specialty foods, grocery items, and a supermarket area with fresh vegetables, fresh meat and seafood, and frozen imported items. Prices are premium for their furniture and appliances but you might spot a good deal; they're a little scant on electronics (no audio, no tablets, phones, which is a bit surprising). On the imported items side, there are some food ingredients I've kept in mind to buy - specialty cooking oils, some baking ingredients, premium jams, some dried nuts and fruits, frozen berries and peaches. Some of these are not found in S&R. Even better, I think their meat selection is superior to... (well). There are good cuts of local meat, and they aren't already chopped up into tiny bits, which doesn't just limit their application, but is also much more sanitary. For the first time in I don't know how long, I saw big cuts of beef that can be roasted instead of stewed or panfried, long racks of pork ribs, lamb shanks. On the imported meat side, all the more: there's bone-in lamb, a deboned lamb cut on the upper thigh part, and long rib-eye and beef loin cuts that lend themselves to commercial as well as home use - or big party cooking! I can't comment on the fruits and vegetables, since i didn't look. It has been open since early-mid June, so they are still are offering 20% discounts on membership: P640/320 on full and extension cards; their membership fees will go up to P800/400 after August 16. One of the nicest perks of their card is the discount on gas at the Caltex station on their huge lot. There are "discounts of the day" on gasoline and diesel. As new members, we got P1.50 off diesel gas per liter and saved P70 on refilling a half-empty tank. Not bad, not bad. The other nice thing about this place is they have pizza and chicken too (again similar prices) - and a coffee shop with cakes and pastries. Landmarks: on EDSA, in the Balintawak area, heading northbound - drive past Munoz, past Home Depot, and stop right before the Wilcon Depot. You'll see signs and their co-located Caltex station. It is way before the NLEX cloverleaf; if you're there, you should continue on toward Monumento and find a U-turn slot.

Yes, the prices here are a bit on the high side, but that is a paltry price to pay for being the most well-dressed man in Manila. Man up, man. While you're here, you might as well go up the mezzanine and check out Felipe and Sons, the parent company of The Cut, where you can get a proper shave and cut, and probably get a suit tailored for you as well. Because that's how real men roll.
