La Picara Manila

The ambiance and vibes were unlike any other place in the Philippines. The variety of shops and dining options was fantastic, providing something for everyone. The mall's design was modern and spacious, making it a pleasant experience. Although I haven't had the time to explore all the shops yet, I am eagerly looking forward to doing so on my next visit.

A mall right across Shang-ri la BGC and the Mind-Museum, where you can start your gastronomique journey along the Bonifacio High Street. It is quite posh but not so much that one would feel alienated here. The spaces for lifestyle and fashion have not been completely filled -- there are sports shops, furniture shops, optical shop, National Bookstore and lots of reataurants. Wellness and beauty shops are also available, like Belo's. SInce this was just a quick stop for us post-dinner at home, we decided to cap our stroll at BGC at their food court in the basement: FOOD DISTRICT SIGNATURES, Happy to note that there are just so many eateries here and some are new to me. The clean-up crew were quick and efficient and thus support a speedy turnover. Easy to see that so many people are spending their mealtimes here, both locals and expats. The prices are just right for the budget. There is a portal straight to the food hall from the street. This certainly is meant to cater to quick meal breaks of business people and employees in the area. And it has llao llao! What a blockbuster.

A shopping center in small size but with some famous Asian brands. On the occasion of my visit, the interior design was Christmas-like. Very clean and nice.

One Bonifacio High Street at night is a bustling hub of activity. The vibrant lights illuminate the cityscape, creating a mesmerizing display. People from all walks of life can be seen strolling along the street, enjoying the nightlife. The energy is palpable, as restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues come alive. It's a place where one can truly experience the vibrant spirit of the city.

This is a great strip mall at BGC and definitely a must visit destination when you visit Manila. Love the architecture and planning reminds me of NYC.
