My top 5 favorite malls in Metro Manila

Sunday, May 15, 2011
On our way to a mall yesterday for yet another happy Saturday for our son, Heinel, my hubby ask me what is my favorite mall. Well, here it is, my top 5:

1. Alabang Town Center (ATC)



Born and raised in the South, I grew up together with ATC. From being a small mall called Alabang Twin Cinema (well because it has only 2 cinemas then), it grew to become one of South’s most sophisticated mall. I like it because it’s big but not huge enough to confuse me. Stores of similar products are aligned together making it easier to shop. It’s kid friendly because of indoor and outdoor playgrounds. And best of all parking is cheap!




2. Trinoma

Another one of Ayala Malls, Trinoma is located in the heart of Quezon City. Strolling around it is already a workout because it enormous! But just like the rest of Ayala Malls, its interiors are stylish and its outdoors are relaxing.




3. Greenbelt



For after office date with my husband, or catching up with friends over dinner and coffee, Greenbelt is where we go to. It has several restaurants to choose from depending on what you’re craving for. If one feels like watching a movie, Greenbelt also has a nice movie theatre. It’s pricey than the others though, but it’s definitely worth it.


4. SM Northedsa
Just across Trinoma, is SM Northedsa. And just like Trinoma, it’s huge! We usually hang out at The Block because there are fewer people there. But for quick shopping, we always go to SM Department store.

5. SM Makati
I like SM Makati because it is organized and uncomplicated. I usually do my Christmas shopping there because I accomplish my list in just one go. It has a wide variety of clothes and shoes, home appliances, toys, bags and just about anything I can think of!
