I was on the YM with a friend and we were discussing healthy living. He mentioned that he needed to drink fruit shakes and head down to Jamba Juice. I said “there is one here in Manila that has just opened but I haven’t gone yet, though some friends were at the opening several weeks ago”. He said, “its a good juice bar” and that I should check it out. Well, I did and here is my Jamba Juice experience.
Bonifacio High Street, the main street retail complex in The Fort has expanded. It is called BHS Central.
It is double the size of BHS and has 4 buildings of creative office suits, retail spaces, chef-based dining outlets plus avant garde/fashion forward boutiques. All within a picturesque greenery and open park. It has an urban amphitheater, interactive water plaza, play fountain and water curtain cascades.
You can be sure there will be a lot of special events scheduled here next year.
Even before this structure is fully operational, you will see on the ground floor tables with bright yellow umbrellas standing prominently.

I just went yesterday. Was super packed due to being holidays, had to stand at the counter for like 10mins. A little disappointed they only had fresh orange juice, no vegetables or other fruits. May take my kids for the frozen blended thingies next time. Oh, and I had the banana oatmeal with brown sugar crumble on top. For more healthy options, I saw regular juice bars somewhere nearby, in Market Market I think…
Anywayz, I’m new to Manila, in Global City, would be nice to make some friends, maybe grab a smoothie sometime?
