The highlights, for me, are the great variety of greens, fruits and vegetables (including organic ones!) and the fact that they sell Santïs meats, so I don't have to do two shopping trips. They sell also a good variety of rice (if you're not used to the filipino one, then they have Basmati, Jasmine, Brown Rice and much more) and beans. Thanks to the beans from Landmark, I can keep the Brazilian "rice and beans" tradition at home. And believe me, that means a lot to me :) I also love Landmark's food court. There's a green juice in some stall there that's is just perfect. I also like Bread Talk and Kumori, the Japanese bakery. I mean, there's a lot to explore there before you start pushing your shop cart! TIP: Landmark is cheaper than Rustan's and has much more variety than the SM Supermarket. Choose it for the big once-a-month grocery.

I have good memories of grocery shopping in Rustan's Supermarket…read more When my grandma was still alive, I would take her to Rustan's Supermarket and she could spend hours going up and down the aisles searching for new things this supermarket had to offer. She would drag me here a day or two before our family reunions to buy cheese, meats and cold cuts. They do have plenty of options for cheese and cold cuts. A bit pricey, but the quality is really good. My mom and I frequent this supermarket because the lines for the cashier aren't that long, there are less people roaming around and shopping, and the place is pretty quiet. We like doing our grocery shopping in peace. If you get hungry in the middle of shopping, don't worry. You can sit down, take a break and eat. They've got cooked meals, a sushi bar, salads and sandwiches. Today, I found out that if you park your car at the 6750 Steel Carpark and shop at Rustan's Supermarket, you can have your car park ticket validated and you get free parking. Also, they put all your groceries in boxes. You can ask the baggage boys to help you bring the boxes to your car. They are so helpful.

Great selection of groceries in BGC!…read more Honestly I've shopped in almost every grocery store here they all have something different to offer SM supermarket provides a wide array of imported goods from Nutella, fruit loops, Swiss chocolate, and other delights. I would call this the poor mans wal mart. Not as big and not as much to offer but good enough for the Philippines. What I like is their imported sauces for the pasta and the chocolate fix prices are reasonable to an extent but when you're craving Nutella and cookie butter this is the closest place to get it. Lines can get pretty long on weekends and week nights so I suggest going on off peak business hours. They also have a western union here

Being in SM Aura every other day, this is my go to supermarket. Here a few things I like:…read more1. Fresh orange juice at the opening which is cheaper than when you buy oranges and squeeze them yourself. 2. Some fresh plants at the opening which are affordable. 3. A very large offering of fruits and vegetables 4. The home sections is good where they sell kitchen items and glasses and pet food 5. The hard liqors and wines are cheaper than in rustan's or robinsons for the same brands 6. After check out, they will help you carry your bags to the taxi stand for you all the way at the other side of the mall. If you have other items to pick up, they don't mind waiting. Good service. Some things I don't like: 1. The fruits & vegetables are not organized logically 2. They lack a number of frozen items such as frozen strawberries

Pioneer Center is the best supermarket in Metro Manila. I'll give you time to let that sink it…read more Don't let the rather spartan vibe fool you, Pioneer Center has the best stock of any supermarket I have ever been to, and the price range is at an acceptable rate. PC is, in my book, a throwback supermarket along the lines of the old Unimart, Makati Supermart, and Cash and Carry, when Supermarkets stocked everything and were central destinations in themselves. But while those three have lost their luster over time, PC has stood strong. Outside of S&R, PC has one of the best (if not the best) assortment of foreign products on their shelves. We're talking about stuff you can't find anywhere else, or at least have difficulty finding. PC stocked foreign beers before it became a thing. PC has the best collection of cereal, snacks, coffee, and drinks as compared to any other supermarket. And the best part is, PC's prices are slightly lower than Landmark's and practically comparable to SM Supermarket. You just can't beat this.

I especially love the houseware section and the kitchen ware which have well curated items. However I recently discovered that they only have 4 cashiers for senior citizens and 2 are not properly labeled. So the other 2 lines have super long lines of huge carts. It was a bit disappointing. I talked to the supervisor about this and I hope they will improve on this.

Place is huge and spacious so you're sure to expect a wide array of product offerings. They even have their own hardware, drugstore and appliance store so it will definitely be your one-stop-shop. There's even a small play area and a set of food stalls where you can leave companions who are not involved in the shopping behind. If I had my own sari-sari store I'm sure I'll frequent this place more because items are sold on wholesale prices. I'm also amazed on how prices can get really low for highlighted items, products and packages. You just need a little patience when lining up in the cashiers as people tend to hoard stuff. They should also consider adding more basket lanes. Nevertheless, I still enjoy it in the neighborhood as it has everything under one roof, at an arm's reach.

I like this Robinsons because it's cozy and because it's near my home. The staff is always friendly…read moreand ready to help you out, plus they have great operating hours for when you need that one last ingredient to perfect your recipe. They have a deli section, a cooked food section (for when you want to take out your food for lunch) and they even have whole cakes for sale (for that last minute office birthday celebration). Staying true to its name, Robinsons Selections can't be counted on for variety of brands, but they do have a pretty decent selection (hehe) available in the store. I just wish they spaced their aisles a little farther apart, since it can only fit the width of one and a half carts, therefore making it difficult sometimes to move around.

Their bright red logo's are beaming bright at 8 forbestown road. It's very convenient to have a Robinsons supermarket. A few good things about this outlet is the super friendly staff, the deli with cheap mongolian rice and the pharmacy on the ground floor (this is where I always check out because there is never any line btw). I really can't stand the smell in this supermarket though, I can't pin point it down but I think it has something to do with the smoke that comes from the deli section. They often run out of items and don't have it for days (e.g. almond milk, sugar beets, coriander, mint, etc.)

Wait. The selection…read moreis pretty good. Everything you need at a fairly affordable price considering you're in BGC. This is where my family did our grocery shopping. The biggest issue here is the check out. There are a long row of registers, but for some reason, only a few are usually open. Then a long line forms. THEN THE CHECKOUT TAKES SO LONG. The checkout are totally not incentivized to go quickly. It looks like they are purposefully moving slow as molasses

The best time to shop at Metro Supermarket in Market! Market! in Taguig is on weekdays, preferably…read morefrom the opening hours of the mall to about 5:00pm. This supermarket is usually jampacked with customers in the evenings and on weekends. One reason why many people prefer this supermarket is its location. There are bus and jeep terminals near Market! Market! so it's very convenient for those who live in Taguig and nearby Makati barangays to pass by the supermarket before going home. The supermarket also boasts of a wide variety of imported items that are hard to find in other stores. Here, you have a better chance of finding the Asian condiment or ingredient that you need to make exotic dishes such as Chicken Curry Masala, Bah Kuh Teh, and Dashimaki Tamago. This establishment also has an impressive selection of frozen meat products. When I'm cooking my signature kalderetang kambing, Metro Supermarket is my source for goat meat. They carry choice cuts by Billy Goat's Goat Meat.

I used to really, really love Japanese food, but when I stopped eating meat and seafood I realised…read morehow difficult it is to get Japanese food that's suitable for vegans here in Manila, as even vegetable ramen has stock made of pork bones, and sashimi and most sushi are all out of the question. So, most of the time I have to make my own Japanese food at home. Fuji Mart is just 3 minutes away from my apartment, and I do stop by here to buy some nori whenever I want to make veggie sushi, and Kikkoman soy sauce for when I want to make vegan yakimeshi. I mean, of course they have nori. But there are other things I like about Fuji Mart, such as they sell good Japanese tofu, instant miso soup, wasabi, Japanese breadcrumbs, kombu seaweed (great for making veggie stock!), Japanese spices, sesame seeds and edamame! I've never come across edamame being sold in supermarkets. I have yet to veganize my other Japanese food favourites, such as tonkatsu, ramen, and gyoza. But once I do take on those challenges, naturally this is where I'll be stopping by for ingredients.

It is so sad to witness the missed opportunity that is Fuji Mart Japanese Grocery. I mean there are…read moreso many Japanese products that can and should be sold here in the country. Whoever owns this grocery already put up the money to rent this slot, so it's odd that there are not enough products sold to justify it's existence. This place has the usual alcoholic beverages from the Land of the Rising Sun, including sake which I really like. They also have an assortment of tofu products, as well as some spices. But outside of this, they don't have too much else to offer consumers. I would, for example, like to see them carry the widest possible array of instant noodles, if only because the local ones and the made-in-China ones aren't all that tasty. Japan also has some of the best chocolates and assorted sweets that can grow on you. Even their ice creams with their odd flavors can be winners. Here's hoping that in the months and years to come, they can expand their product line. I'm sure they will have ready buyers for all things Japanese, not only because there is a small Japanese community in Better Living, but because us Pinoys have also developed a taste for all things Japanese.

He said I would have to call the service number, which said that I need my receipt, which was printed on a disappearing paper. When I got it reprinted, they told me that they only have 1 year on it. It has a 10 year warranty sticker still on the ref. This was a double door fridge. Should not break within a year for 37,000 pesos. For a customer that spends a significant amount when I go, and have them tell me that they will do nothing about it? Shame. It's not a cheap item. And to receive no help. Well, you lost my business, as well as my sisters. Sad. I went again to talk with 3 different managers. He told me they have a protocol they have to go through ( basically tell me they will email my boss with the details, takes your phone number, and address. ) he said if he were to take the refrigerator back, it would come out of his pocket. (No it doesn't) if it were true you can file a claim for it because he was just following the law. The law says you must honor the warranty. There is nobody from American homes helping, willing to fix the refrigerator. It is a scam. Selling broken and defected products.
