When the
mall closes but the shopping urge is still unsatisfied, troop to the Tutuban Center
Night Market. It is the Philippines’ answer to the world-renowned night markets
of Hong Kong, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. This unique bargain shopping
destination allows you to experience open-air shopping at its best, with the
widest array of goods and supplies at the most reasonable prices.
The Tutuban Center Night Market is a clean,
organized and secured market area that brings together a collection of stalls
that sells personal items, kitchen wares, garden accessories, handicrafts,
sports gear and novelty knick-knacks—and just about anything you can think of.
It is the exciting place where, at the close
of regular mall hours, street vendors take over the vehicular road network of
the main cluster of the Tutuban complex to set up their stores and sell their
goodies. From the early evening to midnight, the perimeter area of Tutuban
Center metamorphoses into a dynamic market, with pockets of brightly-lit stalls
with equally bright-eyed shoppers angling for the most awesome bargains.
Haggling and negotiating over prices is definitely
the standard practice, and goods all come at cheaper and more affordable costs.
And now that Christmas is around the corner, you can browse more than a
thousand imaginative gift ideas. This is the market where “there’s something
for everyone” rings true and real.
Gift suggestions are yours for the giving:
for your office secret Santa to your special someone; for the sister who is
into arts and the niece into crafts; for the brother who is a gadget geek and
the nephew who’s a technophile; for the boss who is a cook and his wife’s who’s
a foodie; for your Mom who’s a home buff and Dad who’s a garden aficionado.
While Christmas carols are on full blast,
enjoy dining al fresco at the Food
Street. Freshly cooked seafood and hot-off-the-grill offerings are yours for
the partaking to drive away your hunger pangs. Hong Kong-style or homemade noodles
will surely chase the cold Christmas chill away while street staples such as
hotdogs, kikiam and fish balls are
sure to satisfy your cravings.
It is now more exciting and more leisurely
to stroll around the Tutuban Center Night Market, but the experience is still
the same for shoppers who have loved the nightly bazaar for, such as the great
bargains, amazing discounts, joyous atmosphere, and food and fun for the entire
family and barkada.
With this kind of shopping experience, going
to Tutuban Center Night Market is surely the way to go, where shopping is
always the best—any time, any day.
