Thanks for the info. The last time I had been in Alabang Town Center was probably 2weeks ago. I was waiting for the opening of Metro Gaisano. I probably hadnt noticed it. My sister passes Madrigal daily. It is just once in a while that she pass the main Zapote Alabang Road.

We went there last weekend. Had a great first impression. I like the selection of international brands at the grocery. Deli looks good and its more accessible than the Santis at Molito.

Thanks for the heads up, MM! Got to go around a bit in the department store area (which uncannily looks so much like Globus in Geneva), but didn’t get to really browse through a lot of stuff. Was happy to find a number of Cebu furniture makers being showcased. Hopefully, they bring more Cebu suppliers (Maybe Zubuchon, too? Hehehe.).

Thanks MM for the tip on the cherries. We managed to buy a couple of kilos and they were such a treat and a rarity.

Last Christmas, my director here at work gave me the tasked of buying and giving special christmas gifts awards to some employees. And lo and behold – he said $125 worth of items from Williams and Sonoma. I made the phone call and the store chosed the gifts and wrapped them in nice basket. I got my own treat and I couldn’t believe how much each item cost, most are candies and beverages. I decided to return some of the items and trade them for a “Staub” cookware which I have not used since. Its sitting on my cabinet… like a trophy.

Cherries here in Houston is $1.99/lb the red ones, and the Rainier is $3.99/lb

MM, if you are ever in Austin, William Sonoma has their outlet in their premium outlet mall..it is incredible. Staub at prices I have never seen since. I am sitting here in total envy of your cherry purchase. The cherries in Miami this summer were superb but not cheap at all. I am back in Cebu missing the berries, the peaches, the cherries of the summer!

that crowd photo makes it appear uncomfortably overcrowded in the store. and seeing security guards and other security staff type just reminded me of one of the things we observed in our manila visit last year … so many armed security at plaza malls, markets, public and private places, etc. it was a little disconcerting … we couldn’t decide if we should be alarmed or … is this true only for manila or is it the same in cebu and other major cities in the country ???

bettyq and zaN, these cherries were from Vacnouver-ish area. Sneaky… They bought at 50cents a kilo probably and shipped them over airfreight and sold at $5 a pound and still made lots of money! :)

Yup, MM..here in BC. , I bought a few weeks ago….99 cents a pound! We had a thunderstorm/lightning a few weeks ago and a lot of the cherry trees in the Okanagan got knocked down so they had to pick the cherries really fast and flood the market…cherries were so dirt cheap!
