Quezon City Things to Do

Center for dining and shopping. This city boasts for its numerous malls within it. Coming from South, you will be welcomed by series of malls and dining places at Cubao, here you will find budget-friendly malls such as Farmers' Plaza and Ali Mall, or even high-rated malls such as Gateway, and Rustan's. Watch see a movie at Gateway cinema offering you both 3D and 2D movies at very affordable price. Around the biggest dome of the country, you can choose among hundreds of great restaurants to dine. Or if you want fresh picks of seafoods and vegetables, Farmers Market is just across the big dome.

Traveling further you will reach North EDSA malls starting from TriNoma and right across it is one of the top 5 biggest malls in the country (and still expanding), the SM North EDSA.

If you are only into dining and some wine and beer, head on to Timog. Getting within the Tomas Morato area, you'd be welcomed by hundreds, if not thousands, of fine dining restaurants, bars, grills and fast foods. It's all up to you where to go, whether you want go Asian, European or American, Timog can cater whatever your tongue craves for the day.

Great finds, great price, and good food all in one place.

When some Manila vters decided to go for a weekend escapade just within the city, I took the chance to suggest La Mesa Eco PArk. I know this park is a destination for all of us who just wanted a day of getting away from it all. This 33-hectare park has amenities for all the visitors to enjoy their green escapade.

Some of the amenities are: swimming pool, biking trail, fishing lagoon, boating lagoon, fitness and nature trail, flower terraces, orchidarium, butterfly hatchery, amphitheater, picnic ground under the shade of tall trees, etc.

Visitors can bring their own food for them to enjoy a whole day of a worry-free and green day experience.

Entrance fee for QC residents is P40; P50 for non-QC residents.

4.5 hours of relaxing in Ace Water Hydrotherapy Spa is worth the price of entry (P550/pax). They have different features like the heated pools, jacuzzi, jet massage and the hot herbal pools. The most relaxing feature is the lavender and mint scented hot herbal pools. The place is clean and well-lit and there are enough staff to assist you and guide you through the process.

My niece enjoyed playing among the bubbles generated by the water jets!

It is required that every patron wear spandex bathing suits so that one's modesty maybe preserved despite the strong jets of water! :D If you don't own a suit you can hire a pair at the Spa! But it is more practical to buy one because you'll be using it again and again! The place is truly relaxing. Just what the doctor ordered for stressed out professionals!

Oh, yes. Intestines or Isaw.

Yes, Isaw. I've actually started eating isaws when I started college. Yes, it sounds really yucky but it's one of the greats about the city. It's available on almost everywhere around the country but a good place to have them is right in QC. Many travel shows did feature isaw as from QC. It's a good try but not for the weak stomach.

Yes, it takes some time before you'll enjoy eating it...
