MOA Nights of Light 7th Floor, MOA Square, Marina Way, Seashell Lane, Coral Way, Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City, Philippines

If you have a single receipt worth P2000.00 from any establishments inside Mall of Asia, 2 persons can enter the nights of light until January 12, 2025. Since it is rainy today, not all the features are operating but still, the remaining attractions are breath taking and very eye pleasing.

SM By The Bay Amusement Park Seaside Boulevard SM MOA Complex, Central Business Park 1-A Barangay 76, Pasay, Luzon 1300 Philippines For only P259.00, we can ride all we can. The rides are Bumble Bee, Giant Carousel, Bumper Cars, Barn stormer, Pirate Ship, Dream Twister, Drop Tower and the Ferris Wheel.

It was raining when we got here so we didn't get to ride anything but we just played the darts and the scoop a duck(i don't know what the game is actually called but that is what we did to win ^^). Every game is quite pricey but it was worth it because we got to take home three stuffed toys.

Gala Food Park Gala Food Park, Hongji Garden, Macapagal, Pasay A very beautiful food park! I give a rating of 10/10 for the interior design. It is flooding with Ghibli character statues, the whole area is air conditioned, and it feels like I've been to Japan for a while. This food park offers Thai, Japanese, Taiwanese, Korean and Vietnamese dishes but i think they are not fully operational yet. There are a lot of shops that are empty.

We ordered Pad Kaphraw Chicken which means Stir fried basil with chicken because it was the only menu available at that time.

Space & Time Cube 📍Conrad Manila, S Maison, Pasay, Metro Manila A new interactive digital art museum. Just for P880.00, we can enjoy 20 themed attractions. Each attraction uses a small creative room with different lighting and holographic effects. Other than those mentioned above, there is also other rooms called • Space and Time Realm that uses the wall, and floors to look like we are under the sea. • Dance Cube - a gaming room where we should step only on blue and green tiles or else we will lose. • Underwater Pool - this room creates the illusion of being underwater • Tilted Room - being inside the tilted room feels like being pushed forward. We needed to crawl to go back outside 🤣 Although there is no time limit, I still wasn't able to take images of all the rooms due to the amount of people falling in line. We needed to wait for a long time to have a spot for ourselves to take pictures without photobombers. I enjoyed coming here today. My favorite room is the space and time tunnel because of the aesthetic lights that looks like petals falling.

Seoul Bap M.H. Del Pilar, Binangonan, Rizal A DIY ramyeon shop in near our residence which offers really good dishes for a cheap price. They have a lot of toppings to choose from and they also sell Korean drinks and ice cream. I haven’t tried dining in but have ordered food for takeout. I would definitely come back to make my own noodles.

Wokeria Crab and Pasta House D'mall Shopping Center Boracay Island Malay, Aklan We didn’t dine in here but based on it’s exterior, they can accommodate a lot of customers even during peak hours. Their menu is mostly Asian and has Chinese influence. The place isn’t airconditioned and I am not sure if it will be well ventilated during hot weather.

Based on the menu, the prices are affordable but I am not sure if their serving size is enough to fill you up. The staff are very welcoming and accommodating even when I told them that I would like to take some photos of the place only.

The restaurant is noticeable because of how big the crab signage is.

Cyma D'Mall, Station 2. Boracay. Malay, Aklan

Looking at the menu, this restaurant specializes in salads and different kinds of meat. If you are looking for something GREEK, this is the place to go. And because they serve Greek foods the prices are not that affordable. I would definitely try if given the chance since the foods they offer are not something that I can easily find at home. It is a small restaurant that gives a warm and cozy feeling. It has an alfresco area and you would have to ask around how to get there since it’s not on the seaside.

Surf Turf Steakhouse Surf & Turf Steakhouse Boracay, Units 7 & 8, Station 2, Boracay Island, D'Mall Palengke Block E, Malay, Aklan

This restaurant serves delicious and budget-friendly dining options. Seafood and sizzling dishes are on the menu. The exterior may appear modest but this place has ample space to welcome many customers. Their serving time isn’t bad either since they were able to serve us our food in a short period of time which they also cooked immediately after we ordered.

This place is located near seaside as well and can easily be seen. The staff here are accommodating and will recommend you their best sellers.

Red Coconut STATION 2, BEACHFRONT Brgy. Balabag, Boracay Island, Malay, Aklan, Philippines

A restaurant that we went to because of the fire dance and we didn’t regret it! We arrived just on time when we got here. There is a singer performing depending on the guests’ requests, few minutes before the fire dancing starts. I was able to walk around and has taken pics of the liquor bar, ice cream bar, pool, and the stage. If you want to eat here peacefully, you should come here at earlier times to enjoy the view of the sea side and to feel the cool breeze.

The food is nice but they served it an hour after we ordered. If we didn’t follow up, we are not sure if it will be even served. Maybe the delay is because there’s a lot of customers.

You will never get bored here because there’s a live acoustic session and you can request a song and they will perform it if they know the song. By 7pm and 9pm, there are fire dance performers.

This one is accessible too since it’s on the seaside.

Pink Moon Boracay Pink Moon Cheeze Moon, Boracay Highway Central, Malay, Aklan

This shop is an ice cream dessert shop that also serves DIY Ramyeon and has an added photobooth option for those who wanted their experience to be extra memorable. So Random! Their best seller is the pink coconut ice cream which costs around 3-4 dollars per cup which is kind of expensive for me. There are numerous noodle options available, however, the choices for toppings are limited. The toppings available are eggs, seaweeds, boiled egg, kimchi, and cheese.

The second floor serves as the photobooth area and is full of costumes and hats for everyone to try. They have vanity mirrors with hair blower, hair curler and other hair essentials.

Pink Moon is located near the main road and is easily accessible.

IMAX SM Cinema Megamall 316 Epifanio de los Santos Ave, Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong, 1555 Metro Manila

We watched Avatar and Haikyuu here! You should definitely try seeing a movie in an IMAX if you want to feel more at ease and involved in the experience. The experience will well outweigh the somewhat higher ticket prices compared to traditional movie theaters.

Snacks are complimentary for all ticket holders. In certain movies, the staff will provide you 3D glasses. The chairs can be reclined, the screen is curved and much larger, and it doesn't feel overly crowded. The lobby is not that spacious. When we got inside, there were like 20 people and it already seems crowded.

SM Megamall Cinema 316 Epifanio de los Santos Ave, Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong, 1555 Metro Manila

This is the largest movie theater I've ever visited. There are six movie screens, with roughly 500 seats in each theater. Although the lobby is quite large, there aren't enough chairs for the waiting patrons. Since sis is with me during this time, she asked the guard if she can let us in just so we can take pictures. The guard was so accommodating and told us that we can while smiling but of course, we didn't get inside the theater ^^.I've taken the images of cardboard standees of movies that are now showing.

SM Center Angono, SM Cinema Manila East Road, cor M.L. Quezon St, Angono, 1930 Rizal

The nearest movie theater to our home. Since I didn't purchase tickets, I can only shoot exterior photos. This is where sis and I always go when there's a movie we really wanted to watch.

There are four cinema screens. A movie ticket costs PHP300-450. There is a snack bar which sells hotdog and popcorn but we can always bring outside food as long as it is not smelly and messy to eat.

📌Thriftmart Inc. Binangonan J.P Rizal, Paterno, Binangonan, 1940 Rizal This grocery store is probably the smallest store I have encountered. The parking lot accommodates like two motorcycles only. The customers can only be on single file between the aisles. There are tons of people here, I can't even see where the line starts and ends. The prices are insanely budget friendly that's why the shop is always full of patrons and almost all of them are buying items in bulks. The target customers of this grocery store are the owners of retail stores for the items that are sold here are mostly sari sari store items. There are fridge items but no meat products. I bought snacks that are usually sold for one peso per pack.

If you want to start your own mini store, I suggest buying your supplies here.

📌Super8 Grocery Warehouse Binangonan 52 J.P. Rizal Ave, Layunan, Binangonan, 1940 Metro Manila This grocery store is the closest to our residence so this is our go to grocery store! The products are cheaper compared to other shops. A lot of products are yet to be opened. Everything is nice here but every time I come here, there are only 1-2 cashiers available, making the line 4 buses long.

There are not much variety of items but they almost have all the basic food and items that one might need. They also added a lot of frozen food and fresh vegetables so I think it is a great upgrade.

The staff here are really nice and always willing to assist buyers from reaching items from high shelves, carrying your bought items until you are properly situated to your vehicle and even asking if you want your items to be boxed or the use of multiple plastic bags is ok.

📌Puregold Binangonan EM Commercial Complex, Manila E Rd, Binangonan, Rizal This grocery store is just like the others. Spacious, offers a lot of products from necessities to appliances. They offer point system wherein the points can be converted to cash. I like that there is a mini food court right outside this store.

📌Savemore Market Binangonan Central Mall Brgy, Pantok, Binangonan, 1800 Rizal This grocery is similar to the grocery stores attached to SM malls but this one is different in a way that it is a stand alone grocery store. In addition, there is a pharmacy located inside the vicinity. I bought a slipper and kimchi here as sis requested. It is not as spacious as the others but they still have a lot of items to offer such as big furniture, dining table, frozen goods, basic daily necessities, etc. This store mostly caters to the subdivisions located near the area.
