Enjoy the food stay for the AirCon, there is a cinema on the second floor so take in a movie while your here. It is one of the noisiest malls I have ever been in. Despite a moderate crowd.

So, I came through twice during my recent PI visit…read more THE FIRST TIME: We should have checked first. The crowd was annoyingly (and unusually) huge, especially in the middle of the afternoon in the middle of the week. It got to the point we couldn't walk a few stops without bumping onto complete strangers every second or so. Big Bro and I along with a couple other family members checked out a couple of stores, and we would have wanted to check out more, but with this crazy crowd, we decided to just bounce to the hypermarket (for groceries) and SM store (for basic necessities.) Then we learned some famous artist named Coco Martin made an appearance and was clearly the reason for all that chaos. I really wish they found a better way to control the flow of the crowd. I did not enjoy that visit AT ALL. THE SECOND TIME: Much MUCH better. Still crowded, but nothing like the madness we experienced the first time. I finally got the opportunity to see the mall for what it really is. They had good selections in the food court. They also had good selections of eateries. Same with shops. They maintain cleanliness overall. Except for the horrendous traffic you'd have to go through just to get inside, it hasn't changed much since my last visit a couple of years ago.

This review is based on their supermarket…read more A smaller scale in comparison to, let's say, SM stores, and that kinda came in handy during my time of need. I needed some toiletries and I really didn't have the time to go through some kind of maze to find them. Everything in their supermarket was clean and organized. I found everything I needed and was in line for payment in no time. I was almost surprised at how easy it was to maneuver myself around the store. Service with a smile. Unlike some stores they compete with, the cashiers here came with a "HI" and "HOW ARE YOU." They look like they actually liked working here. I don't live anywhere near here, but it's good to know I have options.

Prices are cheaper especially at the kiosks; you can find separates for P100 and shoes for P200. My favorite discount stores are American Bazaar and Japan Home Centre. You can find THE BEST money exchange here: no id required nor paperwork to fill out. It's located on the second floor at the back of the mall. They have a Little Free Library near the concierge desk, just look for the red phone booth (like the kind you find in the UK). There's paid parking and a transportation terminal that's across the street which is accessible by a foot bridge. Don't forget to check out all the restaurants outside at the back of the mall.

Killing time inside the mall is one of the common hobby of my fellow Filipinos. Parking is free and theres wifi in everycorner so this attracts young crowd to stay inside for longertimes.Countless coffeeshops,snack bars and enless shopping stalls inside. This mall is located on a busy highway accessible by transit,jeepneys ,tricycle,pedicabs and by foot. I love this place actually all shoemart in the Philippines is part of being me.

Thank goodness for Savemore! I swear I found myself here every few days during my vacation in the…read morePhilippines. We don't have grocery stores in my hometown and have to drive out to Candon to get a decent selection of goods. Savemore is pretty much your one-stop shop for mostly everything you need. You've got the grocery store downstairs stocked with fresh produce, meat, dairy products, snacks, alcohol, etc. They've got a little bit of everything, but if you want more selection, it's best to hit up the bigger grocery stores in the area. They also have a Western Union located within the store if you need to exchange money or do money transfers, etc. There's also 2 ATM's by the checkout counters if you want to use an ATM card to withdraw from your account. Upstairs you'll first come upon a "wholesale" type of section on the right. It's pretty much geared towards the restaurant types of businesses with various tableware, disposable utensils, bulk ingredients, & even barstools and chairs. Take a left at the escalator and you'll find clothes, furniture, electronics, imported Asian Items, & your basic home goods to meet any household needs. Parking is pretty ridiculous here (hence not quite 5*). There's a tiny parking lot off of Liquete street, right in front of the entrance. There's maybe 10 stalls, but you'll have to fight delivery trucks, motorcycles, tricycles, etc. We were pretty lucky almost every dang time we came though and found one empty stall. Thank goodness! My favorite part about this shop is that there's a Kookee House bake shop in the same building :)

Weekends are the most horrible days to shop here, and even more worse when they have weekend events. AVOID THAT AT ALL COSTS (unless it's an event you wanna attend) especially when the event is indoors. The acoustics inside are HORRIBLE. Otherwise, typical mall. There's a decent amount of eateries and shops, but nothing too high end or the like. The CSI area is alright. They have a pretty good selection of groceries, housewares, clothing, etc... Plenty of parking, but usually packed. I usually make a stop here whenever I get to visit the homeland. I must say it hasn't really gone through any significant change in the past decade or so. They might wanna look into that since it's slowly becoming more and more mundane.

Can someone please tell me why Manila has so many nice shopping areas to go to?…read more U.P. Town Center is one of those shopping areas that have shops and restaurants inside the mall and outside the mall. I personally enjoyed my trip over here to this shopping center. I remember it having H/M; H/M Home (we do not have this in Los Angeles), The Body Shop and many filipino brands. They do have my favorite Filipino Brand, Apartment 8, located on the second floor I believe. My cousin and I so happened to stumble by this store and I was so excited when I saw it. They have a grocery store as well, inside the mall. Restaurant- 1 restaurant i did try but I don't think i found on Yelp is a restaurant called RECIPE. I thought this restaurant deserved to be mentioned. I heard it is a chain. This place serves traditional filipino food and it was do delicious. We ordered 1) Crispy Tilapia- Surprisingly super delish. Nice and crispy with a nice dipping sauce. I don't really like tilapia but this was pretty good. Has a clean flavor and again an awesome dipping sauce. 2) General Tsao Chicken- This was the first time i actually enjoyed this dish. I've ordered it several time here in Los Angeles in different Chinese restaurants, however it is to my surprise that this establishment in Manila got it right. Nice and crispy in the outside and moist in the inside. Not too sweet and not to spicy. 3) Chicken soup with Sotanghon noodles- This simple dish was done so right by Recipe. Its simple flavors of chicken soup with the combination of sotanghon noodles (mung bean noodles) was spot on. Just like how my grandma's makes it. 4) the last dish we ordered was the Bistek. This was super yummy as well. The beef was prepared thinly sliced and was really tender. The sauce as well was really good not too salty. 5) Green Mango Shake- When in the Philippines, I always order mango shakes because they are made with fresh mangos.... and you can tell... They ran out of ripe mangos so i decided to try the green mango... Boy was it sour... but what do you expect, non the less it was refreshing on a hot evening... I did see a lot of students walking around the area, and my cousin said because there are colleges and schools around the area. When I go back to the Philippines I will surely be back! Enjoy!!
