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.

This place is always packed and parking is horrible . They have a speed ramp for exiting vehicles…read morebut sometimes not all exiting booths are open so you have to drive down to one that is which creates unnecessary traffic to get out of the parking... I don't get it... I also don't understand why they don't open all mall entrances from parking on the weekdays... I get it's not as busy... but it's really inconvenient when we park in the higher levels... If I didn't need to get a certain grocery item here - I'd avoid this mall all together - but it's the only place that sells grass fed bones and grocery shopping here on the weekends is horrible....... it's best to go when the store opens early in the morning on weekends... and sometimes weekdays too... but if you come at lunch time... good luck finding parking.

Looking for cool and functional items you didn't even know existed? Then head on to Saizen, an…read more88-Peso store that sells items from Japan. Every time we pass by Trinoma, it's a must to visit Saizen, since they update the store every month and goodies are available every now and then. Although it is a surplus store, their items are still efficient and safe to use and eat (for the snacks). They sell from cute, colorful notebooks to yummy chocolate wafers, kitchen and dining items, bathroom items, and even beauty items! They sell all kinds of things, and some even make great ideas for gifts! Don't worry, 88 Pesos may be expensive for a three-piece candy, they offer half prices or one price for two items as well, so you can be assured you're getting enough for what you pay for. Tip: it's inside True Value hardware shop, so don't back away when you don't see it as a standalone shop.

Who doesn't love Saizen? It's such an amazing store and I really spend hours just looking through…read morethe P88 finds. Whether it's items for the kitchen, for the office or for personal use, you will definitely find something to your liking at Saizen. Funny though, I always go here not intending to buy anything but I always end up with several items costing me about P500 or P600. No worries though, I always end up using what I buy anyway. The best finds so far, the vacuum / compression bags. When you're packing for a trip, they really save a ton of space in your luggage. I also found some wool gloves for those quick trips to winter countries. I don't mind buying the cheap kind since I don't use them that often and they actual work for protecting your hands from the cold. If you like being creative with your kid's baon or your own packed lunch for the office, Saizen is an amazing place to buy bento stuff. They have rice shapers, sandwich cutters and different types of lunch boxes that would drive any bento momma crazy.

S&R is probably my favourite place for grocery shopping. They offer only the best products from…read moreimported goods, fresh fruits, quality meat, bulk chocolates, yummy pastries and huge household products. Membership Shopping usually means buying in bulk, so if you're not careful, you'd find yourself spending way more than usual. While my family usually spends triple our usual shopping budget, we still find ourselves back nearly every month. The place is just addictive like that. But aside from grocery shopping, their food selection is just as good! There was really never a time when I left an S&R branch and did not get a slice of pizza, a piece of chicken or even a scoop of ice cream for myself. My favourites would have to be their New York Style Pizza, Roasted Chicken, Clam Chowder and Blue Bunny Ice Cream. Although pricey, paying the Annual Membership fee is worth it, not only for the savings in bulk but also for the varied imported items you can only get at S&R. Shopping and eating at S&R go hand in hand so make sure to stop by for these mentioned goodies.

I.Candy is a clothing line which has always been one of my favorite stores. Not only do they sell…read morecolorful, updated and retro style clothes, they also offer dresses that suit for almost any occasion. You can work their dresses up as a semi-formal outfit with high heels or wedges, but you can also style it casually, with sneakers of your favorite Keds. With these, you know that one dress can rule almost any outfit, you just have to style it right! Regarding quality, I like the fact that some of their dresses can be easily altered without major cuts and re-linings. They're manageable, especially if you know how to sew. Thankfully, I do! So I.Candy is one of my dress shop bffs. Btw, they also have cropped tops and other blouses, if you're not big in dresses.

When I hear the word "surplus", I have mixed feelings about it. Surplus...the good, because of the…read moremarkdown prices of almost all items? Or the bad, because of below standard quality and just 'excess' of factories? We cannot deny the fact that most of the clothes and shoes they sell in Surplus are indeed surplus. However, when you try to scavenge the shop with good eyes and patience, you'll see that they actually offer some good quality clothes that are good for one-time/temporary use. Surplus offers clothing items for both men and women, from sleepwear to swimwear, inner wear, undergarments, sweaters, shorts, pants, crop tops, jackets, and even some shoes. Upon entering, just remember that this is a surplus shop. Don't expect the best quality or the greatest design. But who knows? You might find great items and save them from going to complete waste. By going to thrift stores and surplus shops, you may be a good money manager, knowing that one-time use or substitutions do not need for hundreds or thousands to be spent.

To my pleasant…read moresurprise, as I was cutting through on my way to look for some athletic shoes at a small specific vendor, I began to notice the absolute gigantic section of shoes that exists in this store among other things... Also noticed the tidiness and the efficiency with which its employees moved throughout, not hesitating to help other customers... I went down to the first floor thinking I was going to find an exit out in the direction I needed to go but instead, I found a sprawling athletic shoe section... Found exactly what I needed... The price wasn't spectacular but it was about what I expected...

SM Prestige Lounge is a special lounge for SM Prestige Card holders (think of it as a higher version of the SM Advantage Card), wherein the holder can bring two companions in their very relaxing lounge. The lounges are in ALMOST all SM Supermalls (some branches have none, like SM San Lazaro or Centerpoint), but SM North EDSA, SM MOA, SM Aura, SM Megamall are the only ones I've visited. All of them are of great quality, quiet (when not jampacked with people), has great service, good ambiance. You can request for coffee or iced tea! The lounges make a great place for sitting down, arranging your shopping bags, or basically just to answer important messages or e-mails. And oh, they have fast wi-fi (especially when the customers are not crowding in)! Just ask for the password from their professional staff.

The service is excellent…read more Please check the temperature of the lounge. I find it very cold. The ideal for an office should be 21-22 degrees centigrade (must be applicable also in a lounge), if not I would suggest a blanket be provided to those in need specially the seniors. Thank you.

Some of their books may be outdated, but still full of information which you could use in whatever you need.
