Hello everyone. Today is an introduction to Makati Central Square, which is a favorite place for Manila. Previously it was called Makati Cinema Square, but I was surprised that it was renamed Central Square before long, but for the time being I think it will continue to be called nickname Makati Cinema Square. Because Pasay Road was so. However, the abbreviation is MCS, so it has not changed.

If you’ve been there, you’ll know, but the interior of Central Square is quite complex. You will get lost every time you go, so you can feel fresh, but if you have a shop you want, it won’t accumulate. So, today I will try to visualize the details of each floor with a floor map.

Overview of Makati Central Square
For those of you who don’t know about the newly renovated Makati Central Square (MCS), MCS is one of the oldest malls in Makati (other Manila’s long-established malls are reminiscent of Harrison Plaza). . MCS was mainly owned by the Philippine conglomerate Rufino family. The mall was first opened as a Makati Cinema Square in April 1982 and celebrated its 37th anniversary this year. Since its opening, MCS has been loved by people in Manila as a place where they can shop, eat, and reunite with loved ones.

The main facilities in the building include unique products such as gun shooting ranges, archery grounds, judo dojos, restaurants and food kiosks, supermarkets, hobby shops, apparel, gadgets, printing presses, banks, salons, bookstores, lotteries, etc. It attracts shoppers at the stores they handle. There is also a boxing ring / event space on the top floor and a retro record shop for audio enthusiasts.
Makati Central Square is currently undergoing renovation work, and after refurbishment, it will surely attract shoppers of all ages as it is old and unique. You can expect MCS after renovation. As for this year, the interior, layout, and design have been reworked to create an 80s atmosphere, and various shops, restaurants, movie theaters, and bowling centers are now open. A new underground gallery has also opened.
MCS currently houses a number of Ukay Ukay shops that acquire used clothing from around the world and sell them for a fraction of the price. In addition to this, there are plans to increase the number of stores and restaurants that offer Korean, Japanese, and local dishes such as JT’s Manukan, Akitaya, Samurai Steak House and Wabisabi for the family, and government brunch. is.

U Cafe
Ucafe was on the 2nd floor before, but it was withdrawn. . . I just moved to another place in the building. The readers taught me where to go, so I will first introduce how to get there. First, turn left at the location of the above image. Just because I was in Osaka, I entered the building and went straight past Akitaya.
Then you will come to the passage with the entrance of the condominium on your left. Walk straight down the stairs. I never thought that there was a condominium entrance in such a place, but if I lived in a condo on the upper floor here, Little Tokyo was close and I thought it was super convenient, so the entrance was It was good just to be found. The doorway at the back of the photo was closed on this day, but it was open as follows when we went later.
An entrance directly from the outside and an entertainment bar (possibly KTV) in front of you cafe.
It is a U cafe. This is a new store, although it is slightly different from what you imagined. The name is clearly written as “U cafe”. The rest depends on whether you can smoke following the previous store.
The inside of the store was quite unique. There was a tropical foliage plant, and a rare and valuable TV camera was exhibited. The Manila newspaper was sold at 80 pesos, and other Manila free papers were also placed, so it may be a good base for collecting information on Manila. Of course I was able to smoke and I had a power supply so I could charge my smartphone.
The menu is just a café, mainly drinks and snacks. Just like when you were on the second floor, it’s perfect for a short break or a meeting.

Rifle range
There is a gun shooting range near Super 8. No one was shooting that day, and it seemed like several Filipinos hang out. The fee is 1,000 pesos for residents in the Philippines and 1,500 pesos for foreigners. The price includes 9mm guns and 50 ammunition, target and armor usage fees. ID card (passport for foreigners) is required for use. Anyone who has an Icard will be considered a resident if they have an Icard.
I mentioned a little about this shooting range in the previous article.
Near the shooting range, there is also an archery practice range on the escalator side.

On the 8th floor of the Super 8 there is this Japanese restaurant, “MANPUKU Steak House”. If you are not conscious of it, it will be difficult to find. There are a lot of fencing grounds and gun shops nearby, and stores are located in an area that creates a slightly unique atmosphere.
