Crocs Mega Sale and Amici gelato

I went to the Crocs Mega Sale on Friday. I wanted to buy a Men's Santa Cruz and probably the Men's Athens or Hydro. Got there at around 2:30 PM but to my dismay, the queue was just too long! It was ridiculous!

I didn't want to stand in line in the middle of the sun. Apparently, they were only letting around 50 people in at a time. It took shoppers a total of 2 or more hours just to get their beloved Crocs.

So I just walked away and grabbed a dirty ice cream before going to SM Megamall. I kinda regret not staying in line though, as the prices were down to around Php 500 to Php 1000! I guess I have to buy the Santa Cruz at a regular price, or try checking out the outlet in Paseo de Roxas.

To console myself, I had a hazelnut gelato at Amici.

I still can't believe it only costs Php 40! I'd say best value for money gelato in the metro ever.

I just wish they open one in the South, preferably Alabang Town Center. Even better if they do in SM Southmall!

Amici

It's a shame that I have only tried Amici (and the newly-opened SM Megamall Atrium branch at that) just last week, thanks to an evening interview in Ortigas. Although I've known about the original eatery since 2005, I never really had enough time to go all the way to Pasay Road to try it out. Too bad regulars said the quality has really gone down since those glory days a few years back.

But I enjoyed my meal nonetheless. I ordered the le polpetti con parmigiano panini, which is a generous serving of panini with meatballs and melted cheese as fillings. I love meatballs, and I loved the panini as well.

I had to order the gelato. I've been reading and hearing that they serve one of the best in the metro and one of the cheapest too! Blueberry gelato it was and for its price, I can't wait to have more. It was heaven.

The view of Ortigas is amazing.

I can't wait to go back. Now if only I have a date to share the food...
