#SM City North EDSA

[twatkcox]

[The Keihancarl Diaries: January 20, 2024]

Hi everyone, Keihancarl here. Today I'm heading to the North Avenue Malls for the second time since the pandemic, and my first mall-hopping trip for 2024.

xxxxxxxxxx

I decided to wear all-black right now since I feel like it. Anyway, traffic is mostly light along Commonwealth Avenue. I even get to see the old Citimall (near UP Diliman campus), ready for demolition.

Reaching SM North EDSA, I checked the hypermarket first at The Block. There's an escalator access to the second level, though there's no direct access to the supermarket area from there.

I checked Uniqlo at the second level where I bought an awesome Naruto shirt (UT). Quite pricey, but I loved the design so much that I didn't hesitate to buy it.

At the bridgeway to the North Towers, people are lining up for the exclusive artist-made collection by Korean boy band SEVENTEEN at the pop-up store right beside the Park Inn entrance. I also passed by MizuSawa (a milk tea/coffee/dessert place), but I only checked the menu at the counter.

At the North Towers, I passed by Decathlon first. I also checked Muji Cafe as well and had a cafe latte (unsweetened) and a shiopan (salted butter bread).

I also checked the shop adjacent to the cafe. I get to see the infamous tabo, which makes rounds on social media for being pricey.

Checking the rest of the North Towers, there's a sitting moose on the ground floor near the escalators.

Heading back to The Block, I visited a few shops, including Fully Booked and Bocu.

The Fully Booked branch there had a storefront renovation, though it's business as usual.

Timezone opened at the fifth level. The rest of former Fitness First's space would probably be the future location of SM Game Park (just a hunch, though).

The Block looked a lot better and more luxurious (sort of) than when it first opened back in 2008. The layout itself is also different from what it was during the pre-pandemic days.

There are interesting art murals on the bridgeway to the North Towers parking, as well as the LED tunnel on the bridgeway to the City Center.

Heading to the City Center, I only checked a couple of shops, which are the Mi store and Book Sale. I bought a couple of second-hand manga books at the latter.

The staircase at the former cinema wing had a biophilic design like most parts of the mall.

The other staircase at the cinema wing looked like something from a resort swimming pool due to the design that looks like DOST's (Department of Science and Technology) logo.

And I'm off to the Annex. The LED billboard is already gone.

Inside, I checked a few more shops, including those in the Cyberzone area. Passing by MN±LA, I saw an interesting robe jacket (a drape, as the tag says) but I didn't feel like buying it at the moment. I loved the design, though. Hoping to get my hands on it one of these days.

The glass staircase at the fourth level still fascinates me to this day. By the window, I can see the entire Sky Garden (including the Sky Dome), the upcoming Unified Grand Central Station, and the City Center + The Block. And of course, Trinoma and the buildings on top of the Vertis North Mall.

Going back to the City Center, I dropped by the National Book Store branch there and saw a light novel I previously bought. I didn't stay long, though.

I decided to check the Interior Zone first before heading to Trinoma. Nothing much to see, except for a showroom. I passed by The Block one more time and exited through the Sky Garden entrance.

The Chinese lanterns are on display. Chinese New Year is only a few weeks away.

Going to my next stop, the footbridge was already dismantled so we had to use the pedestrian crossing instead. Anyway, I did get to see the Unified Central Station from there. Before reaching my next stop, I also managed to see a tarp regarding a possible connection (from Trinoma) to the upcoming Unified Grand Central Station.

Reaching Trinoma, I decided to check Landmark Supermarket first. After that, I immediately headed to the two Fully Booked branches (I visited the old branch at the basement level first before the other, newer branch at the third level). Having visited both the old and the new branches, I think the newer branch on the third level is smaller than the old one below.

Anyway, at least it does carry the usual stuff, especially the novels and manga books. I couldn't find Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human, though (the one published by Tuttle, both novel and manga).

I also had an early dinner at Pepper Lunch at the mall's Food Choices. It's been a decade since I first had my beef pepper rice at the Power Plant Mall branch in Makati (which had closed, unfortunately). This is the second time I've ever had a beef pepper rice, and a jumbo size too.

I checked the garden area as well. Too bad, the water features near the cinema area (including the fountains, I think) are gone (I never checked the rest of the garden area). Some even had potted flowering plants in their place. I wonder if it's just a temporary setup or a permanent one.

I then head on to my final stop, Vertis North. I only checked a few shops there, including The Craft Central and Uniqlo. Oh, and there's an electric vehicle charging station outside the mall area.

I passed by Japan Town, though the large LED display appears to have been removed. Or so I thought. Still loved the wooden elements, as well as the square lamps and the tatami-inspired tiled flooring.

And it's time for me to go home. I decided to take the UV Express at the Trinoma terminal near the MRT-3 North Avenue Station. Travel time took a lot faster than expected too considering that the traffic situation along Commonwealth Avenue is mostly light with moderate traffic in some parts.

xxxxxxxxxx

And so, I get to visit the North Avenue malls for the second time since the pandemic. I was really taking my sweet time visiting the shops in these malls, just like my last visit. Also, I was feeling a little disoriented during some parts of that mall-hopping trip. Later on, I was getting stressed over the Instagram app's greatest defects (I'll cover this in another post very soon).

By the way, did I mention Chinese New Year? Yup, since my next mall-hopping trip will take me to Binondo, but I'll visit the malls at the Ayala Center first, especially the newly-opened One Ayala Mall. It won't be long.

For now, it's back to reality for me. Until next time!

My Wangan Maxi Tune Career Returns 2024 Edition [Timezone Trinoma, SM City North Edsa, and Quantum Arcade, SM City San Lazaro] - Part 8 (Recorded: Jun 23rd & Jul 4th, 2024)

Hey, hey! It’s me! 😁 And welcome back for another installment of "My Wangan Maxi Tune Career"! I returned in 2022, and now I'm continue it, this 2024. Yes, it's been a while. I haven't shared my WMMT's play progress in this current year, with the last record I posted was on May 31st, 2023 (Pls, go check it out in the "previous" section) before it went into troubles. And by that, I'm talking about my PC desktop problem. *sigh* 😫😔 Nevertheless, I have now SO MANY photos and screenshots that need to be uploaded on my current social media sites right away before I move on to my current update.

Once again, If you haven't seen my "first & second half" of "Part 7", then please check out my "previous" down below (w/ highlights).

IMPORTANT NOTE(S): Once again, no #OnThisDay throwback post for this date. Only for exclusive to the super secret blog(s).

So, without further ado, let's continue with my "Part 8":

[Jun 23rd, 2024; Timezone Trinoma] 📷📲 - 1st & 2nd Image(s) ↑:

• Okay so, I was supposed not to played Wangan Maxi Tune because I have some things to done, but I thought to myself "the heck with that"! 🙂🤷‍♀️ Let's play it for at least once! 😄 And what better way than picking the current winning streak, Riya Speedster and her trusty "TRUE IMPREZA" car! 😁🐰🇯🇵🚘

Riya 🐰🏎️ [wearing Teenager Hoppy and Teenager Catnap's clothes combined]: Awww yeah! Spot, you take a passenger seat beside ME! Because its TIME FOR ME to shine the SPOTLIGHT! See how I did there?! 😁

Spot 🐶🏎️ [wearing Teenager Dogday's attire w/ Teenager Dogpressed's jacket]: *Sigh* Oooo joy, yeah... 🙄

Riya 🐰🏎️ [wearing Teenager Hoppy and Teenager Catnap's clothes combined]: Hmph... (Sour-pup 🙄😒). Nonetheless, before I go to racing I picked up a new window sticker, an interesting design am I as his. 🙂

Spot 🐶🏎️ [wearing Teenager Dogday's attire w/ Teenager Dogpressed's jacket]: Mine's the 'Circle', while you have the 'Tribal'. Though, that doesn't make YOU ✌ 'The Tribal Chief' ✌, Ri.

Riya 🐰🏎️ [wearing Teenager Hoppy and Teenager Catnap's clothes combined]: You made your point, twin bro. But let's moved on to my single 'Online Ghost Battle' match! 👻🚗😁

Mixed Image(s) [Timezone SM City North Edsa] (1st & 2nd Wangan Navi Screenshots, w/ 3rd to 6th Images)📷/🖼️📲:

Spot 🐶🏎️ [wearing Teenager Dogday's attire w/ Teenager Dogpressed's jacket]: Just one? 🤨

Riya 🐰🏎️ [wearing Teenager Hoppy and Teenager Catnap's clothes combined]: Yeah ONE! C'mon, we can't stay longer you know. Our parents wants us to go home after our race tournament, remember? 😮

Spot 🐶🏎️ [wearing Teenager Dogday's attire w/ Teenager Dogpressed's jacket]: Yeah, yeah sure! I'm getting tired, anyway. So, let's get over it before we go home. 🥱

Riya 🐰🏎️ [wearing Teenager Hoppy and Teenager Catnap's clothes combined]: You bet, twin bro! Here are my three random ghost opponents at the Hanshin Expressway loop Line (Osaka Area); three 760HPs 🇯🇵🚘 🇯🇵🚘 🇯🇵🚘, and one 740HP 🇯🇵🚘. 😃

Spot 🐶🏎️ [wearing Teenager Dogday's attire w/ Teenager Dogpressed's jacket]: Huh, you put a one bar margin I see. 🤔

Riya 🐰🏎️ [wearing Teenager Hoppy and Teenager Catnap's clothes combined]: Yeah, and so does the two opponents! Anyway, I put it a lot of fight, for what otherwise a good normal race. Although, I was gonna lose one opponent, until I pushed a little bit closer to get the BIG W! 😁🥇 So, I won and I got a new rim! 😄

Spot 🐶🏎️ [wearing Teenager Dogday's attire w/ Teenager Dogpressed's jacket]: Well, I'm impressed... 👏

Riya 🐰🏎️ [wearing Teenager Hoppy and Teenager Catnap's clothes combined]: Try not to be sarcastic, twin bro. Don't worry, you might want a chance to get YOUR SPOLIGHT, soon. Eh, Spot? 😊

Spot 🐶🏎️ [wearing Teenager Dogday's attire w/ Teenager Dogpressed's jacket]: Mmmm... I guess... *rubbing his right bicep with his left arm* (He's feeling exhausted 😩)

Riya 🐰🏎️ [wearing Teenager Hoppy and Teenager Catnap's clothes combined]: *soft pat* That's the spirit! 🙂 So yeah, it was fun so that's all I could say! 😁

[Jul 4th, 2024; Quantum Arcade, SM City San Lazaro] 📷📲 - 1st to 3rd Image(s) ↑:

Me 🇵🇭: Thanks so much for your recent Maxi Tune share, Ri. As for me... Um, I'm only here for a quick Wangan Terminal Scratch-off, and that's it. There's nothing new about this 'Neon' marker, and this said marker will be added to my unused IMPREZA GRB car instead of my current 350Z car; by any chance, of course. 😊🟦🇯🇵🚗 By the way, you'll see it down the road, very soon for my said IMPREZA car. (pun intended) However, I have some of my recorded footage that I've saved, in the near future once my custom PC was back in function, that is. 🖥️🔧 So, overall, this is a short one but I'm still working on another topic to tackle next. ⌨️💻

Well, that’s all for now. More Wangan Maxi experience, coming up soon.

Teppanya Launches Super Premium Unlimited Madness Menu at Its Newest Branch in Mall of Asia

Our favorite Teppanyaki restaurant has just opened a bigger and better branch at the SM Mall of Asia and it promises to deliver a spectacular dining experience for all its guests. Teppanya has been an enjoyable indulgence for us ever since we first discovered its unlimited teppanyaki promotion at SM North EDSA a couple of years ago (Read: Teppanya Launches 5th Anniversary Unlimited Madness Promo). We kept going back to Teppanya even during the pandemic years so we were happy to find out that they recently opened a new branch with a new premium VIP menu that will beat even five-star hotels in the city.

The newest branch of Teppanya is located at Seaside By The Bay in SM Mall of Asia, just in front of the MOA concert grounds. This is actually a more accessible location since you can just park your car in front of the restaurant or at the open parking lot right across. It is also their first branch that is not directly inside a mall so you can expect to find a bigger and grander venue when you visit.

Similar to their other branches, the MOA outlet features all teppanyaki tables so each guest can get the full Teppanya experience up close. This location is much more spacious as it comes with 14 teppanyaki tables all custom-made for your dining pleasure. Teppanya MOA can accommodate over 200 diners but they still get long lines especially during weekends and holidays.

They also have several private dining rooms which can accommodate up to 12 guests, each with its own dedicated teppanyaki table and chef. These can be booked with a minimum consumable amount of P20,000.

Teppanya has an a la carte menu serving premium Japanese dishes including sushi, tempura, tonkatsu and more, but what really made them famous is their Unlimited Madness promotion. Starting at P1988+ per person, you can eat all the teppanyaki and Japanese items that you want. This is available daily for lunch from 11:00am to 3:00pm and for dinner from 4:00pm to 12:00mn.

But for today, The Hungry Kat was invited for a special preview of their new Super Premium Unlimited Madness menu which will come with all their usual teppanyaki dishes plus unlimited servings of A5 Wagyu, Alaskan Snow Crabs, Foie Gras aburi sushi, premium Iberico Pork, and more!

We were seated at one of their private dining rooms with a magnificent view of the bay. This is also a connecting private room so you can combine it with the other room for those big parties and gatherings.

Dining at Teppanya always starts with a fiery exhibition from the talented teppanyaki chefs. The interactive dining experience is what makes this unique from other eat-all-you-can buffets.

While the chef was busy setting up the table, we were given a few starters which included this magnificent Otoro Sashimi. The otoro comes from inside the tuna's belly and is the most desirable and most expensive part of the fish. The sashimi is so fatty that it almost melts in your mouth.

The chef then prepared his first dish, the Wagyu Usuyaki Roll which is an upgraded version of the Usuyaki Beef Roll served on the regular menu.

The Wagyu Usuyaki Roll is cooked and assembled right on the grill. This meaty roll comes with mushroom and veggies that is placed inside a savory wagyu beef. It is then topped with garlic chips and doused in their secret sauce. This is a very delicious and filling appetizer.

Next is the Wagyu Aburi and Wagyu Aburi with Ikura or salmon caviar. This bite-sized wagyu sushi comes with tender slices of wagyu lightly torched to bring out more of its umami flavors.

The Hokkaido Giant Scallop is a huge piece of scallop which came all the way from the waters of Hokkaido island in Japan. These plump and juicy scallops are cooked on the teppanyaki grill then served back on their half shells.

Another premium seafood item is the Wild Alaskan Snow Crab. Its sweet and tender crab meat is really good which also makes it quite expensive. That's why it's very seldom to find these exquisite items at an all-you-can eat menu.

Here's a very luxurious sushi trio called the Emperor Aburi Set. It comes with Wagyu with Black Truffle, Foie Gras, and Unagi sushi. The foie gras is topped with gold flakes while the wagyu itself comes with a slice of truffle. You really can't get a more premium sushi lineup than this.

The chef continues to demostrate his acrobatic skills using the egg while preparing our Chahan Mixed Fried Rice. Expect to see these entertaining performances from the teppanyaki chefs throughout your meal which the kids and adults alike will surely love.

The chahan is a mixed fried rice cooked with beef, chicken, and shrimps. You can also opt for the Seafood Chahan which has scallops and shrimp instead.

The highlight of the new super premium Unlimited Madness menu are the wagyu steaks. Let's start with the Australian Darling Downs Wagyu MB5 Picanha which really looks good even before it is cooked. The picanha is a tender and juicy cut of beef taken from the top of the rump.

The teppanyaki chef works his magic and grills the wagyu steak delicately. You can really taste the difference of the texture and flavor with each bite.

Another premium meat served to us was the Iberico Secreto Steak which is often called the wagyu of pork. This very tender and flavorful pork comes from a thin cut of meat hidden behind the shoulder blade of an Iberico pig. It tastes just as heavenly as the wagyu beef!

The Australian Duck Breast Fillet was another standout dish. I do love eating roasted duck but this is another outstanding way of presenting this meat.

We all like to eat sandwiches but the A5 Wagyu Sando is truly a cut above the rest. This beef sandwich comes with A5 grade wagyu and is topped with gold flakes.

They saved the best wagyu for last with the Japan Miyazaki Wagyu A5 Chuck-Eye Steak and the Japan Miyazaki Wagyu A5 Chuck Strip Steak.

We were truly in wagyu heaven with these two high-grade items with a Beef Marbling Score of 8-9 signifying wagyu of the highest quality. We were already quite full but we couldn't resist having more of these luxurious wagyu.

To end our special tasting menu, we had a cold ice cream dessert that was cooked on the teppanyaki grill! The Banana Flambé comes with caramelized banana strips grilled on the teppan table and then topped with vanilla ice cream. This was then flambéed and drizzled with chocolate syrup and tempura bits for the most indulgent teppanyaki dessert ever.

The new Super Premium Unlimited Madness Menu will be available soon for P4988+ per person at Teppanya Mall of Asia and its other branches. We would like to thank the owners of Teppanya especially Mr. and Mrs. Pineda for hosting our small media group. Teppanya Mall of Asia is an exciting new dining destination that will definitely impress families, kids, esteemed guests, and everyone else that will experience its fiery offerings. I'm already eagerly waiting for the opening of their next branch at the Shangri-La Plaza Mall later this year.

Hey, hey! It’s me! 😁 And welcome back for another installment of "My Wangan Maxi Tune Career"! I returned in 2022, and now I'm continue it, this 2024. Yes, it's been a while. I haven't shared my WMMT's play progress in this current year, with the last record I posted was on May 31st, 2023 (Pls, go check it out in the "previous" section) before it went into troubles. And by that, I'm talking about my PC desktop problem. *sigh* 😫😔 Nevertheless, I have now SO MANY photos and screenshots that need to be uploaded on my current social media sites right away before I move on to my current update.

Once again, If you want to see my last 2023 recorded (Part 5 [third/final half] (Recorded: May 21st, 2023)), then please check out my "previous" down below.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Once again, no #OnThisDay throwback post for this date.

So, without further ado, time to continue with "Second Half".

[May 29th, 2024] 📷📲: ↑↓

• So, as I said, it is time to bring out "The Speedster Twins" (Spot & Riya), their Impreza cars 🐶🇯🇵🚘🟥🔵🌸🐰🇯🇵🚘, and also their experiences. 🙂 With that, take it away, "Speedster Twins"! 😊

Spot 🐶🏎️ & Riya 🐰🏎️ [wearing Teenager Dogday's attire w/ Teenager Dogpressed's jacket & Teenager Hoppy and Teenager Catnap's clothes combined respectively]: Thanks, creator! 😄

Spot 🐶🏎️ [wearing Teenager Dogday's attire w/ Teenager Dogpressed's jacket]: Ladies first, Ri? Because you have many wins on your "Story Mode". 🙂

Riya 🐰🏎️ [wearing Teenager Hoppy and Teenager Catnap's clothes combined]: Awww, you're such as gentleman you are, Spot! Thank you, sir! 😊 Before we continue our "Story Mode", me and my twin bro decided to set our transmission from "Manual" to "Automatic". The reason we do that is because we want a focus on holding our steering wheel. We've been there when it comes to using manual shifts for years. But, don't fret, it is only for "Story Mode", so unless if we want it go battling "online ghost" then we have to change our shifts. Right, Spot?

Spot 🐶🏎️ [wearing Teenager Dogday's attire w/ Teenager Dogpressed's jacket]: Uhuh, uhuh! Been there done that, Ri! 😁 Nonetheless, we continue our story journey with "Garage ACE first half" from chapter 62 to 65. And while we're not discuss the story detail based on the Anime/Manga, we rather discuss our driving experience. So, our mind are "Spoiler Alert Proof"! 🚫📖😉 All spoiler aside (no pun intended), we've managed to finish the first half of the "Garage ACE", with me has "5 Wins", and Ri got "41 Wins" streak! DAMN, GIRL! What are those?! *Riya punches Spot's side shoulder 🐰👊🐶* Ow! That hurt! Hehe... 😅

Riya 🐰🏎️ [wearing Teenager Hoppy and Teenager Catnap's clothes combined]: Easy for you to say! 😏 At least you're in good spirit. 😊 *pat on his back* And what's our reward for finishing the first half of "Garage ACE"? I've got this awesome "Helmet" theme for my name plate from the Wangan Navi App Scratch! 🪖⚔️😁 I claimed and equipped right away from the terminal, and it is gorgeous! 😄 What about yours, twin bro!?

Spot 🐶🏎️ [wearing Teenager Dogday's attire w/ Teenager Dogpressed's jacket]: Mine? I got the title called "Silk is better"! Neat, right? 🙂 Although, my thread (gifted by my fan favorite, DogDay. 🥰🐶☀️🤗) is fabric material, so I could change it into silk shirt for a shiny bling wear! ✨🧵👕😁

Riya 🐰🏎️ [wearing Teenager Hoppy and Teenager Catnap's clothes combined]: You bet, twin bro! But wait, you have a single PVP battle match, right (Me 🇵🇭: Happening at the TZ SM North Edsa)? And the forgotten item you claimed (Me 🇵🇭: Happening at the Quantum SM North Edsa after browsing a cheap GPU Card, on Jan 10th, 2024)? 🤔

Spot 🐶🏎️ [wearing Teenager Dogday's attire w/ Teenager Dogpressed's jacket]: Ah yeah, that PVP battle match was easy peasy. Actually, I forgot to switched to "Refuse VS" while I was finishing the "Story Mode". So, I got three stars! ⭐⭐⭐😅 Also, it is quite sweet to claim that new circle sticker, but I'm not a fan of putting stickers onto our car windows except putting letters. 🙂

Riya 🐰🏎️ [wearing Teenager Hoppy and Teenager Catnap's clothes combined]: Ah, I see. Nonetheless, so far the first half was done, and we're proceed to the second half of "Garage ACE". We're only have 15 chapters left before our Impreza cars were finally fully tuned, once again! 🐶🇯🇵🚘🟥🔵🌸🐰 It takes time, so we're not holding our breaths. 😁 Well, that includes our WMMT diaries, back to you creator! 😊

Me 🇵🇭: Thank you, twins! And here are what the cars look like, so far. However, nothing is changed from equipping auto body parts after playing it. Plus, I updated my license photo in all blue glory, including Riya's new name plate! 🥰💙🚘 And uh... I almost forgot, on that same date of May 29th, 2024 the mall's power went out while I was playing 🕯️😱, and we had to remain sitting without leaving the premises. And I did so because I was playing the aforementioned Maxi Tune arcade. Then, a fellow Maxi Tune player chatted with me about our experience, while he/she was checking the stats on the Wangan Navi app. The reason why there was a blackout was because of an early monsoon season in May. Usually, June to July hits the rainy season, and I love rainy days for staying at home and taking a nap for long hours without worrying ⛈️🏠😴😪. All rain aside, the mall's power suddenly came back, so the only thing we waited for now was the entire arcade machines. 💡😃 Before that, the aforementioned Wangan Maxi Player gifted me a free coupon for TZ Power Load worth ₱200. Damn! That's something I need to play more Maxi Tune! 🎫💳🕹️😃 However, I can't redeem this coupon, as I need to go to a specific branch to claim my free ₱200 TZ Power Load. And you know what, that's fine. I could make another plan for another day, as long as this coupon did not pass the expiration date. 😊 So overall, we're satisfied with our comeback experience, once again. And I have plenty of photos and moments to discuss before I proceed to my recent Wangan Maxi Tune update. 😁🚘🌃

Well, that’s all for now. More Wangan Maxi experience, coming up soon.

Discovering Bliss at More Coffee PH: A Lavender Matcha Delight

After attending mass at the Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Chapel at SM City North EDSA, my family and I headed to the Food Hall for a delicious lunch. While waiting for our orders, I couldn’t resist the temptation of a cozy cup of coffee, especially when I spotted More Coffee PH. Their Instagram bio claims they serve “coffee & matcha for everyone,” and I was intrigued! What caught my eye was…

[The Keihancarl Diaries: September 14, 2024]

Keihancarl here. The weather feels kind of unpredictable, as there’s the possibility of rainfall during the weekend. Well then, I’m heading to the SMX Convention Center for this year’s Manila International Book Fair, the sixth MIBF event I’ve attended since 2017. And of course, if the weather cooperates, there’s a chance I’ll get to visit Ayala Malls Manila Bay for the second time, as well as the Parqal Mall, both located in the nearby Aseana City.

xxxxxxxxxx

I’m going all-black for this weekend. Not that unusual, right? Well, I have to make sure to make the most out of this day so I really have to leave the house early. I'll probably have to deal with traffic along the way, but I guess it's pretty normal nowadays. Anyway, it was still sunny when I left, and (luckily) traffic was light along Commonwealth Avenue, well, except for North Fairview. I managed to reach North Avenue about an hour later.

On the way to North Avenue, I was having a hard time deciding between riding the MRT-3 to Taft (with a short jeepney/bus ride to SM Mall Of Asia) or taking the EDSA Bus Carousel all the way there (and save me the trouble of switching transport later). I ended up taking the MRT anyway.

I load up my Beep card and head inside the train. Looks like there's rain in the Ortigas area, but only for a bit. Well, the weather report says that there’ll be a chance of scattered rainfall throughout the day. I was hoping it wouldn’t rain in the Pasay and Parañaque areas, since I’m planning to visit a couple of malls at the Aseana City after the MIBF.

Reaching MRT Taft Station, I took a short bus ride (EDSA Carousel) to the Mall Of Asia Complex. Oh, and I happened to see the LRT-1 Gen 4 trains while passing by the overpass to the EDSA Bus Carousel. Would love to ride these new trains soon, well, probably on my 34th birthday.

I reached SMX about 10 minutes past twelve. As soon as I got inside, I decided to have a hotdog (on a stick) at one of the stands. Although I’m starting to get hungry, I don’t feel like having lunch just yet… well maybe later. 

I decided to check some of the booths on the first floor, including Fully Booked, National Book Store, and the Precious Pages Group (including Black Ink Comics). I bought a copy of The Restaurant Of Many Orders (at 20 percent off) at the Fully Booked booth, and three bargain-priced manga books at the NBS booth.

Heading to the second level, I passed by a couple of booths, Komiket and Tankobonbon. I bought a couple of books at the Komiket booth.

This is the first time since 2019 that the MIBF occupied two floors of the SMX Convention Center, excluding Function Rooms 4 and 5 (which are closed). And yes, this is the first time that I actually had a large haul of books from the event.

National Book Store finally made a comeback to the MIBF for the first time since 2019. Tuttle Publishing, however, was not among the list of exhibitors. The latter is one of the exhibitors I always visited at most of the previous MIBF events. But at least I bought one of the publisher’s books (the manga version of The Restaurant Of Many Orders) at the Fully Booked booth.

It was already 2:00 in the afternoon, but there was a lot of time left so I decided to leave the event (and the Mall Of Asia Complex) to visit Ayala Malls Manila Bay. It’s been more than 4 years since I last visited that mall (exactly a month before the COVID lockdown), but I knew that it was doing well since then. Might as well visit Parqal Mall while I’m there.

It only took me 10 minutes to walk to Parqal Mall, which is actually a strip mall with a large roof above it. The area was breezy when I got there, not to mention that it is close to the bay. Since I didn't have anything to drink since leaving the house, I stopped by The Marketplace Supermarket to buy something to drink (it's just a bottle of C2) and consumed it along the way.

From the Parqal Mall, it took me less than 5 minutes to reach Ayala Malls Manila Bay. I visited several shops inside the mall, including Flying Tiger Copenhagen (probably the Danish version of the Japanese brand Daiso) and Biblio. There was an event by Foot Locker at the mall’s atrium.

I was getting hungry, considering that I didn’t have anything but a hotdog for lunch. I suppose it’s time for Pepper Lunch (after noticing it from the other side of the balcony). Besides, it’s already 3:00 PM and I’m only at the mall’s second level.

I decided on beef pepper rice, which is so far the only item I ordered at Pepper Lunch (I initially thought of trying their salmon pepper rice). I took a moment to write this post while waiting for the food to cool down a bit. The weight of the books I bought at the book fair adds up to the slight feeling of exhaustion, along with the crowd of people at the venue. It was also quite stuffy inside since the air conditioning unit was under maintenance, hence the portable air coolers.

I then continued checking the rest of the upper floors, as well as some of the shops. The Sun Garden on the fifth floor is already open, the last time I was there it was still closed. So far, I believe only Zus Coffee is open.

After checking the rest of the mall, I headed back to the Mall Of Asia Complex and passed by the Neo Chinatown area. It only took me less than fifteen minutes before I reached the SMX Convention Center, though I didn't bother checking the MIBF again. Anyway, it's time to visit the two malls in the complex, starting with the S’Maison Mall. I got inside the mall via the bridgeway from SMX.

I only checked the Fully Booked branch there, which had already relocated to the ground floor from the second floor. Nothing much, considering that I’ve already bought what I wanted at the MIBF. And yes, all of the books are 20 percent off. Also, I didn't bother checking the rest of the shops inside the mall.

I made my way to SM Mall Of Asia using the other bridgeway at the other end of S'Maison. Once I got there, I checked Decathlon first. After that, I immediately head to the esplanade.

Looks like a reclamation project has commenced near the MOA Eye. Some parts of the esplanade were cordoned off as well. Also, I’m not sure when these lamp posts were installed, but they sure brightened up the area.

From the esplanade, I made my way to the other side of the mall, the part near The Galeon. I then checked some of the shops inside.

Feeling parched, I decided to have a drink from ChaTraMue, at the MOA Food Hall. I ordered a plum red tea, with konjac jelly. The drink was kind of sour and salty at the same time, like kiamoy (dried sour plums/prunes covered by some orange powder). Is that how the drink is supposed to taste like?

I took a moment to check some of the shops. Nitori is opening soon, as well as a gashapon shop.

I then checked the Sky Park for a while, and Aperitif (cafe/restaurant) is now open. I decided to skip the Fully Booked x Kinokuniya branch at the mall due to time constraints.

Later on, I dropped by IKEA at the MOA Square. I was taking pics of some amazing displays, but the gamer’s room was the most awesome. And the kitchen.

And it’s time to go home. Unfortunately, there were no more UV Express vans to SM Fairview so I’ll have to find another way to get home. I could’ve probably taken the MRT-3 or the EDSA Bus Carousel to North Avenue, but getting a UV Express ride from Trinoma or SM North is quite a hassle, especially if I’ll have to line up for about 15 to 30 minutes. Instead, I took a jeep to the Taft Avenue-Buendia intersection and took the UV Express van from there. Traffic is mostly light, with slight traffic in North Fairview.

I got home before 11:00 PM. That was the first time I’d been out on a mall-hopping trip for more than 13 hours, and my hips and my left shoulder hurt so much from walking too much and my bag’s weight respectively. Despite this, I had a lot of fun at the event, and I’m quite pleased with this trip, even with some minor problems.

xxxxxxxxxx

It sure was a fun weekend, even though I ended up feeling worn out. My all-black outfit sure was kind of ordinary, but it was complimented well with my usual accessories (particularly the black fingerless gloves).

I’m planning another trip for my 34th birthday (it’s less than a month away). When or where it will happen will depend on the situation, but I’m really pushing for it to happen. Manila might be the obvious choice, but I’m considering Ortigas/Greenhills or Alabang as well (the latter two I’ve yet to revisit). Of course, I’m gonna wear all-black on that trip as well.

I suppose this is where I’ll end this post. Until next time! Ciao!
