Popped into Paseo Center Parking last Friday for a full day in Makati--arrived around 8 AM and left…read morepast 6 PM. Spot was easy to find even during peak hours, and the security guys were super attentive; one even helped direct me into a tight space. Car felt totally safe the whole time with guards constantly walking around. Yeah, the hourly rate after the first two hours adds up quick (ended up paying around ₱360), but honestly for the convenience of being right in Salcedo Village and not having to circle forever looking for a spot, it was worth every peso. Clean, organized, and open-air so no weird basement vibes. Will definitely park here again when I need to be in the area all day. 5 stars for reliability and peace of mind.

Believe it or not, there are plenty of parking spaces for Makati employees who want to bring their…read morecars to work. In Salcedo Village alone, I can think of four or five paid parking lots. Indeed, the problem is not on the availability of parking slots, but rather on finding one that's reasonably priced. Anyway, one popular parking lot in the area is Paseo Center Parking. This is an open-space lot but you can be assured that your vehicle will be safe because security is pretty strict. Roving guards are present all the time. The parking lot is also open every day. The only downside to this place is its rates. If you park here on a Sunday, you only pay a flat rate of PHP 50.00. But from Mondays to Saturdays, rate for the first two hours is PHP 40.00. This is fair if you just stay within the allotted time. But staying longer than two hours could cost you an arm and a leg because you'll be charged an additional PHP 40.00 for every succeeding hour and a fraction thereof. One Saturday, my brother parked there for around nine hours and he had to pay more than PHP 300.00!

Glitzy Shopping Mall in Pasay [MANILA Philippines]…read more Across the NAIA Terminal 3 is the Newport World Resorts and this very nice mall with high-end shops for the high rollers and the jet-setters. Maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit but the stores do look fancy: Longines, Pandora, LaCoste, Tissot, Bocu, Marks & Spencer. Honestly I wasn't paying much attention to the shops but more of the restaurants like Wolfgang's Steakhouse. There is also a casino and a movie theater inside the mall. I like this mall also because not only is it pleasing to the eyes but it's less crowded. If you have a lot of money to blow by all means shop till you drop, otherwise, I prefer dropping my money at the Mall of Asia (or even Divisoria) LoL Instagram: @newportmall_ Review #3304

There are arcades, boba spots, cafes, archery, bakery class, digital art museum, nail salon, hair salon etc and even a sports arena that holds concerts too. We came across a couple of artists promoting music and there was a stage and sound set-up in one of the big spaces. I got to say though, the most recent time I came here I was very grossed out by the strong smell of the ice skating rink!!! It feels as if there isn't enough cleaning done on those ice skate rentals and it totally put off me and the rest of our group from entering in to see the prices. I don't remember the spot stinking so much pre-COVID so that's very unfortunate. It's across from one of the food courts in the mall too. You can eat food of various types!!! Food court options or literal restaurants. I definitely think coming here for two days is best but you can still explore a majority of the mall in one day. I like the security for checking bags upon entry when going into the different buildings. Expect a ton of banks, restaurants and stores. A BIG PLUS. If you are struggling to find a store, ask one of the security personnel inside. They immediately know the directions on where to go and were super impressive in their knowledge!!! The staff here in the Philippines are very courteous and professional. Always a good visit to come here especially to enjoy the AC also.

The space is so large I stumbled on a basketball tournament happening in the mall to public spectacle!

Seriously, where else can you get authentic Thai food for less than a hundred pesos? Sen Lek Thai in the foodcourt is one of the best Thai places I've tried. If you're more into Korean food, Arisoo is a restaurant towards the back that I was also able. My favorite though is the cold taho at one of the Japanese groceries here, I forget the name. It's basically cold taho with toppings of your choice, for around fifty pesos for a big bowl. It's my secret pick me up. Don't tell anyone, okay?

It's not a market in the usual sense. I haven't seen any wet produce like meat or fish, though I'm sure there's an area in there somewhere. What I have seen are stores selling clothing - mostly overruns or surpluses of major brands, stores selling shoes, stores selling appliances, and stores selling miscellaneous items like mason jars and the like. You also have, of course, the pet center, and the SM supermarket. The best part, I think, are the foreign groceries where you can get Japanese or Korean ingredients dirt-cheap.

As my pictures show there are several choices of food in this area. But none really jumped out at me. I chose to have the grilled marlin in spicy sauce with vegetables and rice. The fish is pregrilled and sitting out there. When ordered, they reheat the fish and pour the sauce over it. Their vegetables is from a frozen mixed vegetable bag. The dish was non appetizing and had a bland taste. Problem here is that the food here lacks freshness, flavor and taste.

It's as if they couldn't care less about their customers, especially the younger ones. I'm 16, and apparently, that means I'm not allowed in the mall without a guardian--on a weekend! How many times do people have to complain about the unprofessional behavior of the guards before something changes? The security staff act like they're on a power trip, treating teenagers like criminals just for showing up. News flash: we're not asking for much--just basic respect and fair treatment. It's 2024, and this mall still hasn't figured out how to treat its customers properly. If management can't be bothered to fix their security issues despite countless complaints, maybe they should rethink if they even deserve their customers at all

No amount of going round and round the parking lot will make a slot suddenly free up for you.

It's entrance is actually quite hidden. It's at the back, right beside Starbucks 6750, across the Rizal Exit of Shangri-la Hotel.

It's also a great meet up point, like how my friends and I hangout here before the road trip to Tagaytay or Batangas. I also drop off some of my friends who carpool with me when going home.
