Venice Grand Canal, the famous romantic spot in Italy, now is thriving in Taguig, Philippines. However, this only a recreation or a miniature of the original one. Actually, this is mall but at the lower ground, center area is where the blue lagoon forming a river - like channel with bridges spanning over it. Here you can enjoy the clear blue water, blue open skies overlooking above and of course, you can enjoy riding the famous Gondola. You can enjoy a sip of coffee since cafe and restaurants are within the vicinity of the lagoon. #voyagevibes #traveldudes

Spent my weekend at Manila. It has been quite some time since I visited Manila. This round with my baby together. 😍 Tasted some real authentic Filipino food and did some cafe hopping. We also went to the Bonitacio High Street city walk. The buildings design are fabulous. Some said that Philippines is dangerous, I should say it really depends. Anyway I enjoyed and really in love with this kind of spontaneous short trip. #couplestrip #weekendvibe

#春夏好去处2024 #文青书店 The well-known fully booked, hundreds of books are piled up in the center of the building to form a beautiful painting. Not many people buy books, but many take photos 😅 According to the price of about 1,000 pesos per book, this book wall painting is worth about 1 million Taiwan dollars. It turns out that knowledge is money! 🌟The statue of the Philippine goddess is really made of books, and it is still shocking when you look at it up close! The style is that of a living space. The 1st floor displays all kinds of bestsellers, the 2nd floor is children's books and lifestyle books, the 3rd floor is business books, and the 4th floor is CDs, DVDs, comics, design books, various stationery and art supplies. 🌟English books are mostly imported and not cheap, with an average price of 1-2000 pesos (multiplied by 0.6 when converted to NT dollars), but it is still a very cozy space. Don't go wrong. There are two stores in BGC, one on High Street and the other in SM aura mall. That store is more life-like💕 📍Ground Floor, B6, Bonifacio High Street, Taguig, Metro Manila

#springsummerdestinations2024 #foodguide #Spanishfood The Philippines, which was once colonized by Spain, has churches and historical sites to admire, but it would not be complete without trying some Spanish food! La Picara has a unique location advantage for me as a tourist. It is located in the bustling BGC area. After a tiring day of shopping, there is a delicious restaurant where you can have a full meal. 🌟It's not easy to order for two people, but today I just want to eat Spanish risotto. Since I have to wait for 40 minutes, I have to order as soon as I sit down. I chose squid ink seafood risotto. As soon as it comes up, the waiter stirs it in a hot iron pan for you. Although it is a bit salty, it goes well with my Sangria fruit wine. I heard that the risotto without squid ink will taste lighter~ 🌟There is free bread to dip in western salsa at every table. I heard that their tapas are not bad. I chose the fried baby octopus Pulpo-Cebollitas. The soft and tender beef cheek Carrillera de Temera was delicious with a layer of pickled vegetables at the bottom, which enriched the taste. Some people recommend Croquette and garlic pickled shrimp Gambas AI Ajllo, which are good choices for sharing with a large group of people😋 💯The overall environment is very good. If it is dinner, I would recommend sitting outdoors, the view is great; the service attitude is also friendly. I casually said that I was here for my birthday vacation, and they immediately sent a chocolate churrasco dessert government, which touched me and brought me good memories🥰 📍2F, One Bonifacio High Street Mall corner, 5th Ave, Taguig, Metro Manila (Behind the BGC 3D big screen, taking the escalator upstairs to ZARA)

#Spring and Summer Destinations 2024 #Café Recommendations I really fell in love with BGC, the new rezoning area in Manila. It is full of western urban style. I must check in at the Internet celebrity coffee shop ☕️Harlan+Holden and Because Coffee are the same. I couldn’t tell them apart when I was doing my homework. I like the design style of this store. The light cement gray and white tones have a strong Instagram style. There are two floors in total. Any photo you take is very good. The coffee is also delicious💕 🌟The sea salt latte is a bit too sweet, so people who are used to drinking brewed coffee or black coffee should not order the special edition; for the iced butterscotch latte, you can drink coffee while eating the caramel cookie crumbs on the edge of the cup. When you are almost done drinking it, you will find that the layer of maple syrup at the bottom is the secret to the delicious aroma! 120-200 pesos per person is really cheap! 🌟Next to it is the Philippine Stock Exchange😂I have bought stocks there 💯The high street will be closed off on weekends to form a very chill pedestrian zone. Next to it is the famous store "gentle monster" giant portrait photo taking spot. If you have more time to stay, you can look out the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor to see the street view and the realism of the 3D screen; there is continuous greenery outside the window. If you can go there from dusk to nightfall, it will be another scenery😍 📍Xoisaya Mnl, 28th St, Taguig, 1630 Metro Manila

#springsummergoodplaces2024 #skybar #skybar This is a derivative bar of Peak, a rooftop restaurant in BGC. It has outdoor and indoor areas. In addition to the usual bar counter and live performances, The Peak Grill’s main selling point is the stunning view of Manila’s night view. 🌟It is very popular and you must make a reservation at Grand Hyatt There is someone on the first floor of the store who will take you to the elevator directly to the 60th floor The Peak Grill. The 62nd floor is the rooftop bar. The indoor atmosphere is romantic, and the outdoor terrace overlooks the entire BGC night view, which is very beautiful, but reservations are required in advance! 🌟In addition to bar drinks, steaks/oysters/grilled sausages/truffle fries are also available; listen to music and watch the band performance, it is very relaxing ~ Being outdoors in the sky in a romantic atmosphere, under the influence of alcohol, it is a restaurant that is very suitable for couples to date😍 💯The restaurant is open until 11 o'clock. If you need to come later, you can communicate in advance. The overtime charge seems to be 18K per hour. You can ask for details. The private room on the 62nd floor can accommodate about 10 people. The room is equipped with a long table, a sofa area and a small kitchen. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer a night view of most of Manila. I heard it is also very popular! 📍 60/62th Floor, Grand Hyatt Manila, 8th Avenue corner, 35th St, Taguig, 1634 Metro Manila

Simply put, they want to be full! "Chicken Thigh Treasure" is famous for its crispy skin, juicy texture and unique blend of spices. It comes with the soul secret sauce gravy sauce. Although this unique flavor dipping sauce has become a favorite among Filipinos, it is not suitable for For foreigners, there are two extreme preferences 😂 I personally feel that I am more accustomed to not sticking it...

#springsummergoodplace2024 #citywalk #philippinesgoodplace Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Taguig City, this special area has been very popular recently and is currently the most "trendy" area in Manila. New lively bars or restaurants open almost every week, serving locals, tourists and people with mushrooms springing up after rain. Luxurious apartments and restaurants built like this are stationed in the area, and you feel like you are in a small Manhattan surrounded by young people and urban style 😂 🌟The most modern and fashionable, it is definitely the face of Manila. It seems that in rezoned areas of Asian cities, high-rise buildings will be built in rows. On one side, there are empty squares and lawns, coupled with a few white people running and residents walking their dogs. Very western style💕 🌟 There are two main parts to visit in BGC. One is the high street. For this part, it is recommended to take a taxi directly to the Fully Booked bookstore at the top of the north, and then walk all the way down the trail to One Bonifacio. This section is the high street. The main part and the essence of the street; there are various shops and restaurants on both sides, and because coffee in the south is a local internet celebrity store💕 ✔️Gentle monster’s giant device is very semen-sucking 🌟The other part is slightly uptown and Mitsukoshi Department Store.

#timetotravel The Venice Grand Canal Mall has become a tourist attraction due to it being a complete replica of the original one in Italy. An upscale mall that offers you a lot of cafes, restaurants, and gondola rides. I believe this is what sets them apart, having this as a main attraction rather than shopping. The Gondola ride costs 500. It is a cool place to hang out with friends and family for half a day! Enjoy your visit! Address: McKinley Hill Dr, Taguig, 1630 Metro Manila. #mytripvlog #tripblazers #attraction #philippines

#TravelMoon I found an ice cream restaurant after brunch ✨️farmacyicecream & Soda Fountain BGC✨️. I don't like sweets, but it was nice to eat something sweet after a long time of eating greasy and oily food. You can choose between a cone and a cup to eat ice cream, and there are about 10 flavors of ice cream and some additional toppings. The cone ice cream flows down quickly, making it difficult to eat, but the crunchy cone is so good. It makes me put off my diet until tomorrow. 🎯Ground Floor, Six/Neo 4th Avenue, corner 26th St, Taguig, 1634 Metro Manila, Philippines #Philippines #PhilippineTravel #PhilippineRestaurants #Manila #ManilaRestaurants #IceCream

#TravelMoon A wonderful bakery representing Manila, Philippines ✨️wildflourcafeandbakery✨️ is a brunch restaurant opened by a Michelin 3-star chef from New York who welcomed his Filipino wife. The overall interior design is reminiscent of New York (it feels cleaner than New York) and is always crowded with customers. The homemade bacon I ordered as a brunch special option was already sold out at 11 o'clock, but the server came back 10 minutes later and said, "There's one more piece left. Would you like that?" So I said, "Okay!!!" It was not as salty as it looked and was great. It's a place I want to visit for dinner later when I have time. 🎯Ground Floor Six/NEO 4th Avenue, Corner 26th St, Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines. #wildflourcafeandbakery #ManilaBakery #PhilippineRestaurant
