Introduction to Malls: The Podium @ Ortigas
This mall was just across the Discovery Suites that I was staying in. I had forgetten about it (despite going there a few times for Starbuck's coffee) until a fellow VTer reminded me. The reason that I had forgotten about it, is simply because this mall resembled the malls I can find back home. (In fact, it is a joint venture between Singaporean and Philippino firms - it figures)
The mall is very clearly targeted at the higher income earners in Manila with its posh and branded boutiques and swanky open-space and cool light architectural design that gave the mall an instant snooty air. You will find top notch designer brands here selling a range of items from lingeries, leather belts to the latest hand bags.
Me? I took a quick spin and settled for Starbucks. If you are into branded stuff, hey, this is your place. No idea. I did not bother. I can tell you the price of a Starbucks coffee if you want...ha ha.
