SM Mall of Asia

SM's slogan "no mall comes close " is indeed true when you speak of SM Mall of Asia, or MOA as it's commonly called. MOA is the largest mall in the Philippines and ranked 3rd largest mall in the world. It is situated at the southern most end of EDSA in Pasay City, Manila. In front of it is a notable giant globe, which during at night, has a light dispaly that changes color every 45 seconds.

There's a rumor about MOA before it opened last May 21, 2006 that it's so huge, one can't walk the entire mall in one day. Of course that is not true, unless you're planning to visit all 600 stores and 150 dining establishments including the grocery and department store. Aside from its usual mall features, MOA also boast some first of it's kind here in the Philippines attractions. The most famous of which is the San Miguel-Coca Cola IMAX Theater which houses the only IMAX 3D screen in the country and be ready to she P450.00 if you're planning to watch a movie here. MOA also houses the only olympic size skating rink in the country and the P300 Million plus Science Discovery Center.

At the back is where you can find the San Miguel by the Bay. It's a dining strip lining the shoreline of Manila Bay. It has a couple of small fish market (locally known as Dampa) where one can buy fresh fish and sea foods and have one of the resturants cook it for you. I strongly recomment visiting SM Mall of Asia, just make sure to wear something comfortable on your feet.
