Heads up, this is my first time here in the Phillippines since I was 10. I am now conscious of…read morethese things/places. Any who here is my experience as a visiting Filipino-American. Ambiance: Live Entertainment - I was hoping for a center stage with a line up of performers but moreover it's pretty random, some vendors bump up their music to some good jams, but not a lot of entertainers (musicians, dancers, magicians) Food * There are a few good finger food vendors (fishball, bbq, empanada) and some refreshing drinks (coconut, mango juice, etc) Vendors * A lot of clothes for people of all ages, they also have general everyday use stuff from cooking utensils or school supplies. Overall: I give this place a 4 Stars. Not the place to be but a good place for some cheap items, good eats, and experiencing the Laoag life. It's proximal to other spots (town hall, sinking tower) so it is a great place to walk and wander. I wouldn't mind coming back here, even to simply see what's the buzz of the night. Advice: * We parked near a church, it was about a 5-minute walking distance * If you're a visitor, make sure you have your shots so you don't get food poisoning.

I swear, when I was a kid, we didn't have malls or cinemas to go spend our summers in Laoag. We…read morespent our afternoons fishing or swimming by the beach. So, imagine my SHOCK that there is now a mall in my city! Since this mall is still very new, I went around and explored it. I didn't expect that there would be an H&M here! All the way up North! This H&M is surprisingly on the big side. There is a men's section like most other H&M stores but, it is quite small. Luckily, this H&M location carries mostly women's clothes. If you're looking for your basic professional work clothes, this is the place to hit, ladies. Also, I think this is their "surplus" store. There were BIG discounts when I visited and it was mostly my size (big girl size! haha). I was able to buy dresses for Php300-500! Sweet! Aside from that, the service here is like any other H&M location I've been to. The BIG difference? Zero lines and all the fitting rooms you can choose from! :P

It's a great addition to the mall…read more Men's selections are not the best, no, actually it's horrible. Came here to get clothes for a wedding. They cater more to female customers unlike in the US where there's more options for men. I did find something to wear even with limited selections. They accept cash and credit/debit. Cashiers need to smile more, at least try and fake it. Overall, it's okay.

They often run out of water. O.o I dunno why but it's a minus point for them. They couldn't make…read moreslurpee and hot drinks, juices sometimes which pisses me off.

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 :)
