Playtime at SM Cherry Antipolo
The day at SM Cherry Antipolo kicks off with exciting badminton action on the courts situated at the second-level parking area. Notably, SM Cherry Antipolo stands out as the first mall among all SM branches to feature a dedicated badminton court.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a casual enthusiast, these courts provide the perfect setting for a dynamic game of badminton. Operating daily, they welcome players from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. In the off-peak hours (from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.), you have the opportunity to engage in an hour of play for a budget-friendly rate of only Php 175 per person, which is especially advantageous for those who like to start their day early. Transitioning into peak hours (5 p.m. – 10 p.m.), the fee increases to Php 375 per person.
Fortunately, you won’t experience long waiting times, as there are ample courts available to accommodate all players. Additionally, the facility offers easy access to restrooms and showers, ensuring your comfort and convenience.
Craving for Milk Tea at Macao Imperial Tea
After an energetic session on the courts, we headed to Macao Imperial to satisfy our thirst and indulge our cravings. Macao Imperial is a must-visit for aficionados of beverages, thanks to their delectable milk teas. We sampled several of their milk tea varieties, each bursting with unique flavors and adorned with delightful chewy pearls. It proved to be the perfect way to rejuvenate before embarking on our next culinary adventure.
Indulge at Giligan’s Restaurant
During lunch, we made our way to Giligan’s Restaurant, a renowned dining venue situated in SM Cherry Antipolo. Here, we relished a wide variety of rice-based dishes that delighted our taste buds. From mouthwatering soups to delicious kare-kare, barbecue, sizzling sisig, and an array of other Filipino favorites, Giligans Restaurant offers a diverse menu capable of pleasing every palate. The portions were generous, and the flavors were expertly crafted, ensuring a dining experience that left an indelible impression on us.
Savor the PCM Promo at Shakeys
As the day rolled on, we couldn’t resist the temptation of Shakeys’ PCM (Pizza, Chicken, and Mojos) Promo. We indulged in a delicious combination of piping hot pizza, crispy fried chicken, and addictive mojos. The crispy, golden mojos were a personal favorite, and the pizza was loaded with our favorite toppings. It was a meal to remember, and the promo made it all the more satisfying.
End on a Sweet Note at KOOMI
To conclude our gastronomic adventure at SM Cherry Antipolo, we made our way to KOOMI for a delightful dessert experience. KOOMI is renowned for its frozen yogurt, which is not only scrumptious but also guilt-free. We opted for their FROYO, which comes with a variety of delightful toppings and starts at just Php 129. It served as the perfect ending to our day of indulgence. Additionally, we couldn’t resist trying their best-selling yogurt drinks, the Stick-on-me Purple Rice and Avoe-Nice Day, which provided a sweet and refreshing contrast to the day’s activities.
