Fisher Mall Swims Against Other Giant Malls in the Metro

One of the favorite pastimes of many Filipinos is malling - after school, after work, during weekends, and even when they are bored or  just want to cool off. Another reason why people go to a certain mall is out of curiosity - and that was the main reason we went to Fisher Mall. My mom has been ranting about this mall for weeks already so I finally gave in because I heard that the fish/seafood there are fresh. 
But before we started our mall tour (sounds like a concert eh?), we first had our late lunch at Jollibee where the cashier got everything mixed up which caused some delay, but the manager was able to fix it. It was nice seeing my kid making an effort to eat by himself knowing how lazy he was when it comes to that.
After meal, we decided to check out the mall and it was really cold...maybe because there wasn't much people there yet. The mall was spacious and they also have nice designs where people can have their photo ops. 
The design is like a crossover of Robinsons and SM Malls. Same goes inside the department store, which resembles more of Robinsons mall than SM because the latter mall is more crowded. 


Pardon me with the blurred pics 'cos i'm just using a crappy phone :). Another thing that people consider when going to a mall are the rest rooms. Personally, I prefer going to Trinoma more than SM North EDSA because there are more rest rooms in Trinoma and they are doing a good job in maintaining the cleanliness of their rest rooms. The rest rooms in Fisher Mall are spacious, modern, and also clean although they lack hand soap. I hope they maintain their rest rooms well.
And now for the fun part...the PlayLand. 
It is like a mini carnival, but with a modern touch since you use a tap card to access the rides and games unlike other amusement centers that uses a swipe card or tokens. Minimum load for a new card is P50, which is quite affordable.
My son rode the airplane which costs P40 so I told him to use his other load on games instead of another ride. 




So he hopped on one of the electric animals which costs only P20 and he had fun roaming around the Playland - passing by the game booths that will remind you of school fairs and a mini playground for toddlers.




The second floor was still a bit bare, but I saw two mini bowling lanes, a game console area for the older players, three KTV rooms, and a row of internet kiosks. The guard told me that you need to have at least P100 load in your card to spend 30 minutes in the KTV room because some kids just hang out there after school.



Fruit Ninja addicts should definitely try the wide screen version...it is only P15 per game. My kid also played the popcorn game and plinko where he won a small ball.


And of course, an amusement park won't be complete without the classic arcade games such as Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. 
Too bad, we got no more load and we have to buy food for dinner. So we took the elevator from the 4th floor to the lower ground floor. 
I wasn't able to take pics of the supermarket, but people were all piled up at the seafood section where you can even have them cooked right there and then. Haven't tried that though..maybe next time. 
Before we left, we bought ensaymada at their bakery. I was quite impressed with Fisher Mall because they are just new in this business, but they already have their own line of bread and pastries. There's even a Fisher cafe located across the bakery.


The cheesy ensaymada with chocolate shavings on top is worth less than P100. My mom got it cheaper because she used her senior citizen card. It was quite good for its price. I see a lot of potential with Fisher Mall and if managed well...they can definitely swim against other shark malls in the sea.

Eastwood New Year Staycation

Sorry that I have not been updating my blog post (as if someone reads it  LOL). It's been almost three years I think since I last wrote here that's why I made it my New Year's resolution to fix up my blog and write more often. Don't be surprised if you see stories about my adventures for the past few years since I will be doing a lot of catching up. Let me begin with my Eastwood New Year Staycation. Why Celebrate New Year in Eastwood?  I chose Eastwood City because it is closer to my place making it more accessible and there's a free New Year Countdown concert. I was considering Mall of Asia since they also have a free concert, but I already felt tired just thinking of my travel time and traffic. I originally booked a hotel near Ayala, Makati thinking that they still have a street party. After doing some research, I think they already stopped doing it for a few years now so Eastwood it is! Where to stay in Eastwood Eastwood Richmond Hotel is the most ideal p

Get A Taste of Hong Kong at Eat Fresh Restaurant

Holy Week is all about fasting, but it is really hard to do that when the food in front of you is tempting. Every Holy Thursday, it has been a family tradition to go on a Visita Iglesia. For those who don't know what that is, it is a religious practice of visiting at least seven churches and praying the Stations of the Cross. When we were younger, we used to visit like 14 churches and that's quite tiring. Today, it is faster with seven churches and more people are out of town taking advantage of the long weekend. After Visita Iglesia, with sadly a few family members getting sick because of heat and exhaustion, the rest decided to go to Eat Fresh Famous Hong Kong Street Food for late dinner. It was located along J.Abad Santos Street in San Juan near Xavier School and Wilson. From the outside, you wouldn't think that it is a restaurant because people choose the Hong Kong street food on stick displayed in front. I thought you would have to wait until they grill the f

All Iz Good at 7107 IMF: Day 2

After a night of EDM and hiphop music, the next day of the 7107 IMF was expected to have a different crowd. This is my chance to bump into people my age unlike Day 1 where I felt like a wannabe teeny-bopper. haha! I can't even keep up with all the non-stop dancing and drinking like I used to during my techno rave days in Malate and Makati. We got to the venue around 2:30 pm and the front area of the stage was already crammed with people. There goes my chance of getting up close with the Red Hot Chili Peppers . But I still got my hopes high...even if the chances of meeting them were really slim. So we settled in the middle part, which we called our home base cos that's were we meet when we get tired of roaming around.  Since the only bands that I was interested in watching at 7107 IMF that night were Empire of the Sun and RHCP, I ended up hanging out with some of my pals who I haven't seen for years.  Finally! Some people I can relate to...and they luckily got t
