We went to Dapitan Arcade last holiday season to look for Christmas decors and some items we could use for our home makeover and we did find some interesting stuffs that aren't usually available at department stores.
Dapitan Arcade is located at the corner of Kanlaon St and Dapitan St in Quezon City. It's a small building but outside and around the vicinity are several stalls who also sell some of the items you'll find inside but at better prices (well, that depends on your bargaining skills).

It's more ideal to bring your car when going at Dapitan Arcade because I'm pretty sure you'll buy things that are more than a handful.

And while you're there, a few steps away from Dapitan Arcade, you can drop by at Suki Market for some fresh market finds. You'll also be surprise to see plenty of sushi shops inside and shabu shabu ingredients offered at more reasonable prices.Suki Market |

So, if you're doing a house makeover on a budget, Dapitan Arcade is your best source for affordable house decors.
Hi Shie,
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across your blog while I was researching about my trip to Manila. I read all your Divisoria blogs and love love love how much detail you are sharing !! It def. help me plan my trip better and save some energy haha!
Anyways, I have a question about shopping for Philippine snacks and some Japanese / Korean Snacks, and spices/ condiments to bring back home to share! Which supermarkets / stores would you recommend (in terms for prices & quality)? Really appreciate your help. Keep up with the good work! Have fun traveling!!
Thanks,
Amy
Hi Amy, thank you for your nice words. I'm glad I can be of help. Philippine snacks are easy to find. They are available in all supermarkets like SM, Puregold. The cheapest could be in Divisoria if you're buying in bulk and you have the patience to brave the crowd. Some SM supermarkets also carry Japanese and Korean snacks but I suggest you check Metro Gaisano Supermarket coz I saw more varieties of Asian goodies there. There's a branch in Lucky Chinatown Mall and a bigger branch in Fort Bonifacio.
DeleteHope you enjoy your trip to Manila.
