1st Time Manila

Just had my 1st time in Manila and let me tell ya—this city is seriously poppin’! 🚀 I explored so many beautiful spots, but the Mall of Asia totally stole the show with its mega vibes and endless things to do. It’s one of the biggest malls in the world, located at J.W. Diokno Blvd, Bay City, Pasay, Metro Manila. Opening hours? Usually 10am–10pm, so there’s plenty of time to shop, eat, and just soak up the buzz. 🛍️ Of course, I couldn’t skip the food scene! Tried some local halal dishes at foodie hotspots around town (pro tip: ask locals for hidden gems!). The flavors were sooo good—totally woke up my taste buds! 💥🍲 Whether you’re into shopping, epic sunsets by Manila Bay, or tracking down delish street food, Manila’s got your back. My advice? Go with an open mind and an empty stomach—you’ll need it! 😋 Ready to book your Manila adventure? Check out trip.com to lock in the best spots to stay and explore!
