First Stop: Food Trip at SM Mall of Asia

We kicked off our night at SM Mall of Asia, hunting for a quick bite before our Malate adventure. The sea breeze from the MOA Seaside set the mood perfectly. If you ever find yourself in this area, take a moment to walk along the bay—it’s refreshing, especially before diving into the vibrant city nightlife.

But the real feast was waiting for us in Malate!
