Small mall but good variety of shops. I went to buy a watch from Watch Republic. Had lunch and a coffee. Good area to explore. Will go back for sure.
It’s basically a department store with a supermarket on the bottom floor. Lots of reasonably priced labels upstairs. I bought a nice sweater for $20 (₽800). It’s opposite the Outlet area where there’s many designer outlets willing to overcharge you on gear you’ll get back home for less… but still least there’s many places to eat in this area. I only went there because I had nothing else to do and I wanted a decent walk from Plumera.
We stayed nearby and made the 1km treak up the roads and footpath both nights - I'd advise taking a torch and high vis for the walk home - the traffic can be crazy as per usual, stay well out of the line of traffic.

The second night was a Saturday and the place really filled up with families and couples and had live music. The food is standard Filipino choices with a couple of burger/steak places. You get a beer or mango/fruit shakes etc also. Plenty of choices.

It was the Saturday night atmosphere that really makes this place, vibrant, relaxed, and we enjoyed the evening with music very much.
