Trinoma Mall
Trinoma Mall is one of Ayala Land, Inc.'s shopping malls. It is located on EDSA cor. North Avenue in Quezon City.
[an error occurred while processing this directive]It opened to the public in May 2007 and it was only till a few weeks ago that we were able to visit.
It was pretty easy to get to on a Sunday morning although since it was our first visit, we got a bit confused with the parking area which is not that well-lit. In terms of the mix of stores and establishments, it was not as unique as I expected. It reminded me very much of Glorietta and/or Greenbelt but on a smaller, not as expensive or glitzy, scale.
I did like the open spaces -- as well as the fountains and water thingies, the greens, and the mist.
When I was still going to UP during my college and MBA days, we used to joke that we take our 3 units each semester at SM North EDSA. I wonder how many units the UP students take now in Trinoma? At least now they have the power of choice.
Yesterday, a relative of mine called to ask me where she can take a visitor from abroad as they were going to the Manila area. I suggested Mall of Asia. My relative replied by saying that her guest didn't want to go to the mall as her guest was not a "mall person."
I then countered by answering: "Well, this is the Philippines. Everyone goes to the mall."
At least, with the newer developments coming up, there are now more malls to visit. Is that good or bad?
