Things to do in Tutuban

Tis the season of love and the most awaited event of the year, but it also makes everyone rattle around malls and tiange for last moment Christmas shopping.

I remember my mom once brought me to Divisoria in Manila, to buy some Christmas gifts for her granddaughters/grandsons. Its kinda difficult to choose the right gift when you are with the large wave of crowd, although its worth it because you will save a lot compared when you buy things in branded stores.

Speaking of saving, last week I went to Tutuban Center to buy some stuffs for my family worth Php 500 which really test my haggle skills. Lol!

I listed things you can do in Tutuban.

Have a Street Food Trip first so you have the strength before you enter the battle field, feed your appetite with local favorites like Kwek-Kwek, Balut, Dynamite, Fishball, Kikiam etc. Once you think you can win the war start searching your ideal gifts at Tutuban's Night Market, you can find very affordable things like this:

Haggle as much as you can!

If ever you still have extra penny you can try Tutuban's Carnival exciting rides and reminisce your childhood doings.

After all of this we all know that its difficult to go home because of the traffic in the metro. So if you want to escape the traffic and rest your aching feet from shopping, you can stay at Orion Hotel & Cafe it is a modern day, city center oasis that radiates style and attitude with urban vibe.

Their accommodation and room rates really suits the urban life like, affordable room rate as low as Php 2, 100.00 for standard room, complementary breakfast for two and WiFi connection so you can stay connected.

You don't have to waste your energy and effort going home with Orion. Check out their rates & promo on their Facebook page.

They also have cafe just beside the hotel that serves variety of pasta, breakfast and frappe too!

Happy Holidays! :)
