Great Shakes Corp is more of a supplier/commissary than a shop, so dont plan a sit-down visit there. For actual shakes nearby, the stalls inside the malls along Aurora Blvd are your best bet, cheap and cold.

Fair, though the shake stalls at Robinsons Magnolia a few blocks over beat most mall kiosks on texture.

Agree, but check hours, most close by 9pm.

I'm moving to Manila in a few months for work and honestly have no clue how dating works there. Do people mostly meet through friends, apps, or at places like cafes?

tbh apps do most of the heavy lifting in metro Manila, but it's a numbers game and you'll wade through a lot of matches that never turn into a meetup. Bumble and Tinder are the big two; Coffee Meets Bagel has a smaller, slightly more serious crowd. First dates usually happen in malls, specifically around BGC or Makati, since everyone's already there for work. Group-of-friends setups still exist but are slower to develop when you're new.

BGC's High Street, Sunday afternoons.

fwiw the "date" label carries weight early on, so people often hang out in groups first before calling it anything. Grab rides home after a night out are basically teh norm, and splitting the bill is common unless someone insists.
