Blogger's Tablet: One Fine Day @ SM Aura

It was one of those Saturdays in June when I had to wake up earlier than usual to attend an event at DMCI Acacia in Taguig.  Hubby knows how much  I dislike driving around the city on a weekend, so for this appointment, he volunteered to be the chauffeur.  Sweet!  Hubby was also smiling at the thought that he only had to drive for about 10 minutes to SM Aura from Acacia. He wanted to visit Aura after reading about it in my blog. 

Car Park.  SM Aura has a bi-level basement parking.

Paul Boulangerie from France - franchised by Suyen Corp.  My craving for Pain Au Chocolat would soon be over.

I got 'acquainted' with Paul in Paris, then at Takashimaya in Singapore. 
I love Paul's Pain Au Chocolat.  It's one of my all-time favorites. 

Another treat!

Crème brulee!  Zesty + Rich Chocolate

Crème brulee or bunt cream:  rich custard base + layers of caramel + zesty flavor. 
Crème brulee is traditionally flavored with vanilla, but contemporary variants have emerged in the market - lemon or other citrus fruits, chocolate, cinnamon, and green tea are the more common variants. 

Shopping finds

It was a given that Hubby and I were to spend over 30 minutes in one of our favorite shops - Uniqlo! Occupying a bi-level boutique has given Uniqlo the luxury of space to showcase its staple collections and a spread of seasonal items. 

Next to Uniqlo is the first Suite Blanco boutique in Manila. Hubby and I were pleased with their collections for men and women at reasonable price points.  We also dropped by Stradivarius where I got myself a soft biker-like jacket for casual Fridays...and a matching pair of shoes from Aldo.  Love!

Hungry...again! 




BRASAS - a taste of Latin American street food @ Food on Four.  Budget: P200 - P499. 
Meowth's rating: 4/5

Restaurants (other than those offering fast food) were not yet operating at that time, so the only place for big appetite was Food on Four (4th Level). 
Food on Four presents SM's new concept in food court dining.

Sky Park, 5th Level:  One of the civic components of SM Aura.  This is open to the public. A dedicated access is provided so that the park remains accessible to the public even when the mall is closed.  The towers shown will become host to several offices, including the Taguig City Hall. 

Chillaxin' at the SM Prestige Lounge

The SM Store - A Premier Store

Hubby and I took a short break from walking at The SM Prestige Lounge. 
The Lounge is located inside The SM Store, Ground Floor Level near Cashier 3. 

We had little time left for some quick errands.  We dropped by SM Supermarket and Ace Hardware. These stores are at the Lower Ground Level.  It was not that difficult to bring the bulky items we bought from these stores to the basement parking.  Errands - check! Time to go home.
