It was a lazy afternoon, last Tuesday. I was still waiting for client approvals, so I went to check out this new mall that just opened. I've heard there's an In-n-Out Burger Doppelganger in that mall. I had to go that day!

| I got this ticket at the parking. |
Wow. You can't even get Free parking from A.Venue mall, but I've seen auto card dispensers and exit booth. I'm sure they'll charge in the future.
When I got in the mall, staff were so polite. Everyone greeted me with a good afternoon sir, even the janitor. However, the 1st thing I noticed is that it felt like I was in SM Aura, only smaller. Here are some photos I took:
 |
| I see Nike! That's always good lol |
 |
| The classy TWG Tea, starting to pop out everywhere |
 |
| The cinema! I saw a photo of the seats. Looks great! |
 |
Escalators beside the balcony take you from the
ground floor to the sky garden. Very familiar.
|
 |
| Never seen a mall without Starbucks. |
 |
| Grocery? This mall is open until 10pm. I love! |
 |
| A lot of establishments are still not to open. |
 |
| Condos around the area are also being built. |
 |
| The entrance to the sky garden. That's where CaliBurger is! |
This is their version of the sky garden. They're still fixing a lot of areas. And yes! That's CaliBurger!
The mall is open from 10am to 10pm daily. Century City Mall is the 1st mall from Century Properties. Looks like they're following the steps of SM Malls, only backwards lol.
 |
| This is what I came here for! |
I miss California and In-n-Out. Well, I like Fuddruckers better but I still would go for those fresh burgers. In-n-Out is taking too long to bring their food to the world. CaliBurger is willing but they can't use In-n-Out because they don't own it! lol! So, they created their own In-n-Out inspired fastfood chain and brought it to the world! Now, it's in the Philippines!
 |
| I'm feeling excited! I want my "animal style".. no... "WildStyle" from the secret menu. They had to change a lot of things because In-n-Out had legal issues. The price is pretty much like if you're in the US. |
Cali Double P295

| Busy Kitchen! |
 |
| Of course the atmosphere is also fresh. That's a huge LED screen at the back. |
 |
| Everything is fresh! |
 |
| You know what this is. |
 |
| Got a cheeseburger and fries "Wild Style" plus choco milkshake. My total bill was P480 I really felt Cali on my 1st bite. |
 |
| Here's a close up of the wildstyle fries! Dressing, Melted cheese, grilled onions.. Yummehh |
They have a smoking area...
...with a view of Makati business district. I can imagine this prettier at night.
I even ran across a few celebrities. It's a must try for those who miss In-n-out and for those who want to know what the fuzz is about.
They're also opening a branch in Timog this week.
