best milkshakes in Manila near Great Shakes Corporation
honestly Great Shakes Corp is more of a supplier/commissary than a walk-in shake bar, so don't plan your whole trip around it. if ur near the area, try the stalls inside the malls along Ortigas instead, they do thick shakes with real ice cream. ask for less syrup if u want it less sweet, that's the usual complaint.
yeah the commissary thing tracks, i'd add that the small shake counters inside Greenhills San Juan side are worth the short ride too
fair point, also the shake places around Rockwell tend to be thicker and less syrupy if ur willing to go that far
the stall at estancia mall does a proper thick one if ur ok with the mall markup, around 180 pesos last time i checked
180 sounds about right for Estancia, though the same shake runs closer to 130 at the weekend market stalls in Salcedo
good call on the syrup thing, that's the real issue. if ur in the area around lunch, the karinderya-style shake stalls near the Pasig public market do a thicker one for way less, just no aircon. i'd skip weekday afternoons there though, the queue gets long
less syrup is key, try the stall by the Magallanes interchange
agreed on the commissary bit. one detail: the ortigas mall stalls vary a lot branch to branch, the one in podium is thicker than megamall in my experience. ask for extra scoop of vanilla instead of more syrup, holds up better
Best place to see a doctor in Manila 2026?
Makati Med, derm clinic 3rd floor, cash first.
Second this, bring pesos cash, insurance claim later.
cash upfront is right but get an itemized receipt & a doctor's letter with the diagnosis, insurers ask for both. some clinics take card now tho, ask before u queue
true, though the atms around ayala can be hit or miss on weekends so withdraw the day before. also ask for the receipt in ur passport name, not a nickname, or the claim gets bounced
yep 3rd floor derm is right, just book the earliest slot since walk-ins queue past an hour by 9am
philhealth accredited too if u want the cheaper rate
