Sunsets, Smiles & Savoury Bites at SM Mall of Asia

Welcome to the biggest mall in the Philippines—SM Mall of Asia! After a satisfying meal at Jollibee (because what’s a Manila trip without Chickenjoy?), I strolled through the scenic park just outside the mall. As the sun dipped beyond Manila Bay, painting the sky in golden hues, the beachside breeze made everything feel just right. Pure magic. #manilatrips

Just wrapped up a 3D2N getaway at Manila Bay and honestly? It was part chill, part chaos, all charm. Whether you’re a history buff, a sunset chaser, or just hungry all the time (me), this one’s for you! 🌴✨ ⸻ 🛬 Day 1: History, Parks & Golden Hours 🕘 9:00 AM – Landed and headed straight to Rizal Park 🌳. It’s peaceful, patriotic, and smells like morning grass and food carts. 🕛 12:00 PM – Popped over to Intramuros 🏰 – Manila’s walled city! Explored cobblestone streets and felt like a character in a colonial novel. 🕒 3:00 PM – Stepped into San Agustin Church ⛪ – jaw-dropping interiors, soft light filtering in, and the air thick with history. 🕕 6:00 PM – Sunset along Manila Baywalk was a fiery masterpiece 🔥🌅. Locals were jamming, kids roller-skating, lovers vibing – pure Manila. 🕗 8:00 PM – Dinner near Malate Church (Our Lady of Remedies) 💒 – classic Filipino soul in architecture. Ended the night with halo-halo by the street. Cold. Sweet. Epic. ⸻ 🐠 Day 2: Culture, Ocean Creatures & Mega Malls 🕘 9:00 AM – Started with a splash at Manila Ocean Park 🐠 – stingrays, sharks, and even penguins. Kid me was living. 🕛 12:30 PM – Lunch nearby: veggie pancit + fresh buko juice 🥥. Light, refreshing, so Filipino. 🕒 3:00 PM – Explored the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) 🎭 – modern art meets heritage. Caught a local dance rehearsal by chance! 🕕 6:00 PM – Back to the bay for another golden hour, this time with grilled corn and fish balls in hand 🌽🐟. 🕗 8:00 PM – Night stroll past Malate. Smell of street BBQ everywhere. Tip: say yes to banana cue 🍌🔥. ⸻ 🛍️ Day 3: Shop & Soak It In 🕘 10:00 AM – Mall of Asia time! 🛍️ Huge, shiny, and air-conditioned (thank goodness). Coffee, souvenirs, and a giant Ferris wheel ride for the views 🎡. 🕛 12:00 PM – Last lunch: tofu sisig and garlic rice. Simple but chef’s kiss 👌 🕑 2:00 PM – Quick visit to San Agustin again – had to say goodbye properly. Then… Grab to the airport. ⸻ ✨ Tips & Tales 👟 Walk lots – wear comfy shoes. 💡 Be curious – Manila rewards wanderers. 🍴 Try local snacks. Even balut. Once. 😅 ⸻ Verdict? Manila Bay is a mix of soul, salt air, and stories. Already planning round two 🌊🇵🇭💙

SM Mall of Asia

SM Mall of Asia is one of the largest malls in the Philippines, and even makes the list of the world's largest malls, too. It's certainly not your run-of-the-mill mall but is more of a tourist destination with lots to offer in terms of shopping, leisure, and entertainment. Situated right by the scenic Manila Bay, the mall is a sprawling complex boasting top-tier facilities and a good mix of local and global brands. You can easily spend a day or 2 here shopping or enjoying a drink by the bay in the evening. #nyedestinations#decembertravel#instagramworthydestinations#holidayvacation#wintergetaway#merryxmas#awesomepic
