How is the Power Plant Mall nowadays? (August 2017)

[oj88]

Haven't been there in over a decade.

If I had my way, I'd be staying at home during weekends and holidays, but I have kids... kids that clamour to get out of the house everytime I'm around.

Of course, I have to be the good daddy to them and bring them someplace to stroll and do family stuff. But I've grown tired of going to the usual SM/Ayala malls... basically because of the crowd, parking, and whatnots.

Is all the hype about the Power Plant Mall being less crowded still true?

if youre tired of malls, try something different...like hiking taal volcano or going to a camp site, our recent activity was doing yoga as a family

It gets crowded on weekends na rin. I stopped going to Powerplant except for dry cleaning and taho. The seniors in our family (and their friends) still go to Powerplant on weekdays so not much crowd.

But I think you have to visit pag Christmas. Their decorations in 2016 was so impressive!

Anyway, I like BGC (Central Square and the whole stretch of high street) better than Powerplant.

Favorite mall especially during Christmas. Plenty of parking and excellent array of restaurants. The crowd isnt hectic like Megamall. Shang has less crowding.

I think Uptown has less people since a lot of the stores are still closed? There's nothing to do there except eat and movies. Parking there is horrible too (magulo). I wouldn't recommend [emoji14]

Gauge ko of how crowded a mall is e trying to park 12 pm on a weekend. If the TS hasn't been to powerplant in a decade, he will definitely think it's crowded now.

Yep, a bit crowded on weekends. But if you ask me, the Rockwell "set" is more genteel as compared to the flocks that go to SM, Robinsons, or Ayala malls.

Still there's a quartet or a piano playing on the food-strip level on weekends.

It may be a bit old, but the place is still well maintained, toilets are clean, and the general surroundings, mabango palagi.

Rockwell, then Shangrila Plaza.

Like most malls, there are more people during the weekends. The crowd is mostly seniors. Right now a section of the mall is closed. They are integrating the mall to a new building under construction.

ako pag nasa ortigas sa Ayala Malls the 30th nako tumatambay why? coz it's free parking first 3 hours, sobrang luwag and sobra sosy the place without the PUV crowd, lahat di kotse kaya sobra linis pa. and the crowd, all I can say is upscale. before, I alway hangout sa Snangrila Mall eh pero dito na ako ngaun sa Ayala malls the 30th coz of free parking.

ayala is marketing the place and is willing to let go of parking income. computerized din sya, pero paglabas mo kocompute ng computer if you are under 3 hours then FREE!


last time, nagpunta ako dyan sa Rockwell, nag desert and coffee lang ako sa Dean and DeLuca. Id like to go back sana to dean and deluca and sit there outside on a weekday office hour.

may mga bagong malls na for a change.. you can go to Estancia Mall (Capitol Commons) and Ayala 30th mall in Pasig..

Bakit kaya ang pangit ng crowd sa Nuvali? Parang market market crowd?

I'm curious about Ayala 30th too pero hindi pa ata open lahat ng stores?

Nuvali is very near to us promdis. So sorry ka na lang kaming mga pangit andun.
Hanap ka ng lugar kung asan yung mga kapwa mong dyosa.

What I like about Powerplant Mall is that I noticed that the car drivers there are more courteous. When 2 lanes are exiting the toll booth, alternate zipper lane talaga, pag sa SM, unahan.

Just to add, there's a new high end Ayala mall in the north - Vertis North. It's right before Trinoma. Soft opening pa so only a few shops & restaurants are open though.

I'm just stating my observation. No need to get personal. And what I meant by pangit ang crowd was it's too dense kaya pangit ang crowd. I didn't mean the looks of the crowd. I'm also near the area so I guess pareho tayong promdi?


I go to divisoria all the time. I don't get all riled up when people criticize the divisoria crowd.

yup, wala pang laman. wala din tao. yung entrance road na papasok sa mall and hotel maswerte na kung may 2 cars na pumasok every 5 minutes. kulang na lang may promo girls sa labas para pumasok mga kotse hehehe. but, maganda ito pag bukas na lahat ng stores. kasi yung "pa-aircon" crowd andun na sa sm north and trinoma, malayo na ito for them to go across pa.

saang banda tong vertis North?

We were there about three weeks ago but there were only a handful of stores open... maybe 5-10%. For food, only one resto was open and brave enough to feed the whole mall... Shakey's. :D

Kamusta na kaya ngayon?
