SM Mall of Asia is no doubt the most popular mall in the huge commercial area traversed by Diosdado Macapagal Avenue. But it's not the only one. Another big establishment in that area of Pasay City is HK Sun Plaza. It's not getting much attention but it's a big establishment nonetheless.
Here are the reasons why I think this mall deserves a visit even if it looks old and not well-maintained:
1. It's a good place to shop for furniture. There are three big names in the furniture business that have large outlets here. If you are into high-end wooden Filipino furnishing, you should visit Balikbayan Handicrafts. A store that offers mid-range but masterfully crafted home furniture is Furniture Republic. Lastly, there's Blims and I think this is their biggest outlet. It offers both home and office furnishing.
2. It's a good place to find Asian food. Aside from a big grocery store selling all things Korean, HK Sun Plaza is also home to two popular Korean restaurants - Maru and Song Wong Do. If you feel like eating Chinese or seafood, the Hong Kong Chef Restaurant will not disappoint. For Filipino fares, you might want to try Grenada, Ilocos, and Kaka restaurants.
3. Believe it or not, there are a lot of fun things to do at HK Sun Plaza. If singing is your thing, Music Bank and Grenada are good places to dine in and sing your heart out. You can also relax in Spa La Mer, which is open from 11am to 11pm daily. If you like action, there's even Manila Target Shooting Range frequented by many gun aficionados.
4. The parking space is sprawling and free. read more
