Hello, Hivers! Here I am again for another blog. We are almost in the mid of January, I guess some of you have already been starting to do the resolutions you set for the year. I am here to say keep going and do not let anyone put out that fire within you. Anyway, the blog that I am going to share today is about my weekend experience at one of the best malls in Cebu City, Philippines.
We rode a modern jeepney to get to the mall since it's kilometers away from our place. Yes, we were caught by traffic and rain but we always see the good things in every bad situation. What truly matters is that we arrived at our destination.
For context, Ayala Malls Center Bloc is a large shopping mall located at I. Villa Street, Cebu IT Park, Cebu City. With that being said, it has become one of the top destinations among Cebuanos.
We're an early bird. The mall was still closed when we arrived. We waited outside for a couple of minutes and then thought of why not have our early lunch first. By then on, we would be fully charged to stroll in the mall. And so we did!
We spotted this ramen restaurant called Mendokoro Ramenba. Aside from the fact that they have the best tasting ramen, they also have the best staff and interior. A 10/10 for me. We did not order a lot, a bowl of ramen and an iced tea was already enough for our appetite.
You guys can also try their amazing offerings. They are located at F & B 12 Garden Row, Ayala Malls Central Block IT Park Lahug, Cebu City.
But if you are somewhere in the Philippines they also have other branches particularly in Metro Manila. You can look for it more on their websites.
It's time to rock the mall.
Our first stop was at Fully Booked. They have the most amazing books. Ranging from fiction, self help, psychology and many more. I actually got one—Speak your truth by Fearne Cotton. I'll surely post my review on this once I'm done reading.
Next up was at Surplus.
Surplus offers a variety of authentic and affordable products particularly from some renowned fashionable brands. We were browsing a lot of items. But in the end, we didn't check out any. I'll just be back very soon.
And then we stopped at Penshoppe. My Mom and Sister took a little while to choose what they had to buy because of the plenty of options. On my end, I did not buy anything. Window shopping was always at my core. Anyway, I love all of their products. For now, saving up will be my priority so I can surely purchase my favorite clothing pieces when I shop at this store the next time around.
These are some of the sightings you can find inside Ayala Malls Center Bloc that you don't wanna miss.
The view was amazing. Buildings and high-rise apartments are visible in the surrounding area. And yes, as I have said earlier it was raining when we arrived. Raindrops are present; it even wants to block my view.
We're about to go home but my sister had stopped at Starbucks to order some Coffee. The influx of customers are very visible plus a relaxing interior. Indeed, Starbucks never fails.
And then, we head home.
It was a nice experience to be able to spend our Saturday at Ayala Malls Central Bloc. I had so much fun and it really made me realize how a certain place could be someone's fountain of special moments and memories. This place already holds a space in my heart. I'll surely be back soon.
That's all for today, my dear Hivers! I hope you enjoy this little virtual tour at Ayala Malls Central Bloc through reading my blog. A big thank you to all and see you again on my next blog!

Hi @maryjolly !
I missed my life in Cebu. 🥺
Been there in Ayala few times and I'm curious about Mendokoro Ramenba. Will try to visit there if I go back. 😊
Hello @ohlnwwlknat ! Good to know that you once lived in Cebu. I hope my blog helps ease your homesickness.
Yes, I lived there for three years (I think 😁).
Will read more stuff from you! 😇
I've been there at Ayala mall and it was a nice place although I don't have the chance to explore the Ayala but all in all it was a great place to go shopping
I couldn't agree more, @melcakes !
I really love to stroll in Ayala Mall here in our city too. It's been my happy place since when I'm in college. 🥰
Hi, @teacherlynlyn ! It's good to know that you also love strolling in the mall. Nothing beats the happiness it gives.🤗
The pictures are amazing
You really did have a good time
Thank you, @smariam !
I wonder how long you waited when you got to the mall before it was opened.
It really looks like a fun experience even though I wouldn’t attempt this ,I might end up using all my money.
Hi, @abenad ! Just an hour waiting time but once you get inside the mall it's all worth the wait. When it comes to the spending aspect, yessss it's so tempting to buy impulsively but I really resist so hard not to be tempted. I did window shopping, instead😬.
