SM Aura Premier: Checking Out What's Partially Completed

Everyone is curious about the new SM Aura Premier which just had a grand opening with Sarah Jessica Parker.  Last weekend, the family decided to join the hype and went to check it out.

SM Aura Premier can easily be sighted from Market Market and Serendra.  Upon reaching the mall, we could see a lot of pedestrians crossing to and from it.  We entered the paid parking and spent nearly two hours just to find a vacant slot.  But, of course, we didn't let that diminish our excitement.

From the exterior facade of the mall, it looks long and wide.  But, once we entered we found it to be quite limited in space and narrow.  Some of the shops and all of the restaurants are still closed.  Most shops are clothing lines.  Uniqlo and Forever 21 occupies two floors.  There is a Sky Garden on top with fountains which are not yet functional.

Every one had no other choice but to eat at the food court on Food on Four which is beside the Cinema Theaters.  Good thing Brasas and Pepper Lunch was open.  We chose to dine at Brasas spending an hour to line up and only to find out that only three items were available.  We also dropped by Mother's Crepe to buy our favorite Jasmine Green Tea.   Overall, it was a day of patience and waiting and perhaps an unrewarded excitement.  If you havn't visited yet, I suggest you wait till everything is complete.
