If you need new stuff for your home kitchen, small cafe business, or full-fledged restaurant, MK…read moreKitchen should be one of your first stops for supplies! This kitchen superstore sells all kinds of tools and equipment from the smallest, most specialized eating fork to big industrial kitchen appliances! It's a warehouse/surplus shop style place too so everything's very much affordable and not weighed down by brand names. But the items are still of good quality! They import their products from Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Italy, the US, among others. And like i said, they specialize in supplying for restaurants and even culinary schools, hotels, resorts... Basically any establishment with need for a kitchen. They offer after sales services too, as well as kitchen design consulting. It's really a one-stop shop for all your kitchen needs. They have several branches in the city already-- this one in Robinsons, one in the Farmers Market in Cubao, one in Pasig right across the URC offices, and one in Pioneer Street in Mandaluyong, which is their main warehouse. It's so cool to visit here because you always find interesting new things-- even small stuff you wanna have for your own house! Nice mixing bowls and chopping boards like those ones you saw on Food Network, that strainer thing you saw in some Japanese restaurant, those cool salt & pepper shakers you noticed at a cafe, that chafing dish you saw at an event's buffet... It's like StumbleUpon, kitchen world style! Haha. If you love cooking and baking at the very least, you're gonna have so much fun checking out this place!

I've already been here a few times with my mom and let me tell you what I think of this place. They…read morehave everything that your house needs be it doors, door knobs, lights, fixtures, a little furniture, and some building materials, just name it. With that being said, I had the opportunity to visit this place just a few days ago. I had a dilemma because I had to buy dog food and a door knob because I was out of dog food and our doorknob broke. I always buy dog food at a supermarket in the Fort S&R because it's cheap there. MC Home Depot helped my buying a door knob very convenient because it was just beside S&R. Not only that, It's in the Fort. It's basically a one stop shop for home needs and it's inside the Metro. How convenient. Apart from that, they also have a lot of brands that you can choose from. I found my doorknob and I was on my way, after paying of course. For people who are bringing cars, not to worry because they have parking spaces. They really thought of everything. So there I was on my way home: dog food in the back and a doorknob on the passenger seat.

My sister and her husband are in the final stages of building their house. It took years of saving,…read morelots of bickering and some headaches here and there before they got to this point. The 2 have very different tastes. My sisters wants the house to have a colonial look while her husband as my sister puts it, wants the house to look like an office. And because I was the 3rd adult in our tiny family, I had to intervene from time to time. They both agreed on one thing though: the bathrooms should be beautiful at all costs. So, one Sunday afternoon with my nieces in tow we went to the Dexterton Showroom in Quezon City. Here we found an impressive lineup of everything one needs to build a home. They have top brands and designers, fine designer, chandeliers, lighting fixtures and more. No need to go anywhere else when you're here. Tips: 1. Come here early and bring a camera! Take photos of the things that you like. 2. Try to bring a blueprint of your house just in case you need to give the attendant some specs.

Ever since I've lived on my own (for more than 2 years now), I've stepped foot in various branches…read moreof Ace Hardware. When you live alone and there's no one else who'll take care of all the house "issues" other than yourself, this place really comes in handy. My "dining table" and chairs are from here. My cat's litterboxes are all purchased here as well. Pet stuff? Yup. Lightbulbs, adapters for plugs when traveling, super glue, shoe racks, door mats, adhesive wall hooks, travel luggage locks, plastic storage boxes, curtain rods, shelves... Ace Hardware has you covered. There's always someone willing to help you locate that thing you need. As for the pet stuff -- I find it both funny and sad that a hardware store would actually stock up on pet food. I would never buy my own food at a hardware store... except once when I was in Baguio and this hardware store owner grew his own mushrooms and they were amazing --well that's another story. But yes, they do have pet food (mostly commercial kind found in supermarkets as well). They also have pet dishes, leashes, toys, and... clothes. Okay. You know what they also have? Playing card decks. For you know, when you get bored from all that housework I suppose?

There was once a time that I was hanging out with a friend of mine from Alabang Hills Village. We…read morewere smoking in his car just chilling when it suddenly hit him that he had yet to buy his girl a Christmas present. He was flustered. Panicking, the man dragged me along to Alabang Town Center to help him find a gift for his lady love. We went from one store to another. He had absolutely no clue about the kind of gift that he wanted to give his girl. I advised him that the least he should do is give her something that she could use. We ended up at Gourdo's of all places. Gourdo's just sells a lot of stuff that's related to cooking and baking. We ended up getting here a cookie cutter. I forget the pattern, but a year or so later I can distinctly recall here giving us a batch of cookies cut out in the shape of the cookie cutter that we bought that day.

My version of heaven would probably have an area that's a mixture of Gourdo's, Kitchen Elf, and…read moreChocolate Lovers. Basically, it will be a baker's heaven, with every ingredient, equipment, and packaging I could ever dream of for my kitchen, there for my taking. Unlike Kitchen Elf and Chocolate Lovers where I regularly (read: OFTEN) buy stuff, Gourdo's is more of a special occasion kind of thing. Why? Well, let's just say I need to save up for most of the products they offer. They have, for example, my dream Kitchenaid mixer (in mint or fuschia, please) for Php 27,000. They also sell a wide variety of Wilton products that are proven and tested when it comes to baking, but come at hefty price tags, too! If you're on a tight budget like me, I recommend that you visit Gourdo's during the holiday season (starting November). They're generous with sales toward the end of the year. Last year, I was able to score some Wilton frosting tips and a jigger/shaker at discounted prices!

I never imagined that my youngest brother will become a pastry chef. When we were growing up, he…read morenever really liked to cook. He didn't even spend time in the kitchen. In fact, I thought that he, being a member of his college football varsity team, had a bigger chance of becoming a member of the Azkals than becoming a chef and a professional baker of pastries and cakes at that. To show my support for his chosen career, I like to give him gifts that he could use at work. He's most happy when baking or making French macarons, so I gave him measuring spoons, cookie cutters, colorful cupcake liners, and other cake decorating products. All these things I bought from Cooks' Exchange in Glorietta. The store is small but it sells many interesting kitchen stuff. I love their cake candles and toppers. They even have colorful glasses and pitchers that are Moroccan-inspired. Actually, there are some items in the store that I want to buy for myself one of these days. My wishlist includes the garlic press, meat thermometer, and colorful chopsticks.

My cousin and I would go here before to always take a look at kitchenware. Between the two of us,…read moreshe was super into cooking and baking and well she always to be up to date in whatever new cooking equipment there is. Although we were still students at that time, we were aware of what cooking equipment would cost. It's not cheap and most of the time, it would be expensive. But chefs know why these things are expensive. I always have a fun time in this store because my cousin would explain what a certain equipment would do. It's always a fun educational stop whenever we're here. I love also how this place doesn't only sell "serious" looking equipment, it also sells fun and colourful utensils for the kitchen! If I were more knowledgeable about the kitchen, I would definitely buy my kitchen stuff here. To chefs who are not aware of this place, do pass by this place and I'm pretty sure you will have loads of fun.

I first noticed that my interests had shifted from buying new clothes, makeup and other frivolous…read moreitems to picking up pieces that would beautify my home and personal space when I hit my mid-20s. Now that I'm pushing 30, the same applies. Hence, I love entering places like Gourdo's. Gourdo's is actually one of my go-to places for when I'm on the prowl for potential wedding gifts for friends who are soon to tie the knot. They present their customers with a vast variety of kitchenware selections to choose from -- from the most celebrated brands in the industry to some lesser-known ones that remain competitive with regard to quality. Gourdo's also has some very interesting trinkets and unique items that are season-based. Whether you need to spruce up your kitchen, pick up a last minute wedding gift, or simply need to kill time in the mall, come through.

Although Gourdo's may be a bit pricey the items are of really good quality and will certainly last you a long long time. Not to mention a great addition to your house aesthetically! The designs of items at Gourdo's are flexible for any taste or preference, you will certainly have difficultly choosing what to buy! I did not expect to like Gourdo's as much as I did but being a food lover and a feeling-chef I was so excited (for my mom) to buy all the great kitchen goodies. I think that the kitchen is definitely the most important room of the house and should be treated well enough and stocked with great equipment and decor and Gourdo's is the perfect place to get all that.

For kids, wandering around Wilcon while parents shop for bathroom fixtures and other household…read moreneeds is super fun! Haha. It's a huge store, so there's all sorts of stuff to look at and keep boredom at bay, like giant shiny jacuzzis and model kitchen units. Now that I'm older, recently my dad asked me to come with him to help shop for pipes and stuff for the extension we're building for our house. He's getting older too, and needs an assistant. So on my last visit, I was able to appreciate how completely stocked Wilcon is. Tiles, bathroom stuff, kitchen stuff, garden tools, locks, even pet supplies, it's all under one roof. It's the ultimate in convenience among hardware stores.

The thing about building a house is that saving time is as important as buying the right materials,…read morechoosing the right contractor and having the right design. The more time you lose, the more money you spend. This is why it's important that you choose a hardware store that has everything in it. You don't want to run around and drive to so many places just because one doesn't have a specific pipe and vice versa. You're better off at settling in 1 store where you can keep your sanity intact and your gas tank right above low. So where is this hardware that promises to give these things? It's the Wilcon Depot at Filinvest City in Alabang. My brother-in-law swears by it, and believe me he is the most anal person when it comes to these things. I came here yesterday to help him buy locks and other things for his almost finished house and it took us a few minutes to find everything we need. I would have loved to walk around more because of the nice tile selection inside but we didn't have a lot of time. So, if you're building a home or perpetually fixing an old house (like me) AND you live in the South, come to this branch and make it your home base.
