Most of us are wanting to travel abroad so bad but we still have to wait a little longer. Korea is in my vacation list and to satisfy my craving for anything Korean, the best I can do for now is to visit SM Megamall. Here's how you can enjoy a K-Day at SM.
Visit the BTS Pop Up: Map of the Soul store at the 3L of Mega Fashion Hall. The pop-up store is available only in one location and it's for a limited time. Although they allow walk-in (5 people per time slot), it is best that you reserve a slot in advance.
New merchandise are scheduled for release every two weeks since most products sell out immediately. There are also installations perfect for selfie and photo ops with your friends. To know how to reserve a slot, read HERE.
Have a sumptuous lunch at Soban K-Town Grill. Their Favorite BBQ Fest is good for 2 persons and includes medium fFresh Woo Samgyup, large fresh Samgyupsal, and medium Honey Spiced Samgyupsal. It also comes with maximum refill of 2 white rice, soup, side dishes, 2 single served iced tea, and 2 milk tea jelly dessert.
Stock up on your skincare essentials from The Face Shop and innisfree. Since we can't go to the skincare clinic as often as we used to, we should continue our beauty regimen at home even if we don't go out.
The Face Shop has 1-1 deals on foaming facial cleansers and 5+5 deals on their face masks.
A "must-never-run-out" in my beauty essentials is the Green Tea Seed Serum from innisfree. And if you are looking for a new skincare line, they now have the Volcanic Calming Pore Clay Mask Special Set.
Shopping is an energy-draining activity. Head over to Ho Bing Korean Dessert Cafe for a bowl of bingsu to sweeten up your day. There are 19 varieties to choose from. My favorite is strawberry bingsu and choco brownie. They also offer ramen, toast, korean hotdog, ice blended beverages, and other Korean food favorites.
Take your sweet time shopping, relaxing, and eating (again!) at the K-Day Bazaar located on the GL of the Mega Fashion Hall. Restock your kitchen pantry with ramyun, the Korean style instant noodles. There are also merchandise from BT21.
The famous Korean cheesy garlic bread Chee-Su has a Buy 3 Get 1 Free. Don't worry! You can store them in the refrigerator up to 3 days and for 3-5 minutes in the oven toaster. They are now open 5F Mega Fashion Hall in SM Megamall.
Before you go home, make sure your family will also experience a delicious Korean adventure at home by having a take out of your
Bonchon Chicken Philippines favorites with the 2+1
#StayKChon meal deals. Buy 2 Bibimbowl boxed meals and get a free 1-pc Klassic Fried Chicken ala carte.
The SM K-fest will run from July 1 to 18. Don't forget to join the K-dance Tiktok challenge!
