SamgyupSalamat Under Korean Alley Getting Bigger

Samgyupsalamat was coined from the word "Samgyupsal" which is "Pork belly" in Korea, and "Salamat", which means "Thank you" in the Filipino. Combining the two, it makes "Samgyupsalamat". It is kind of a language play but to add a meaning on it, it means, "Thank you for eating Samgyupsal".

More and more customers a day to waiting customers in line.
That is our story. That is Samgyupsalamat’s story.

"SamgyupSalamat /Zoomanity Group in UnliCity At Century CityMall were very helpful in training the staffs. Customers were flocking in and we were not actually surprised since in all their locations, it’s always like that with customers waiting in line 'till 2 in the morning." - Sassy Punzalan (Operations Manager)

Samgyupsalamat Under Korean Alley are in 4 locations just in a span of less than a year. Locations are in Metropolitan in Makati, Residence Inn Tagaytay, Century City Mall in Makati and at Alabang Town Center.

World-class Pump Track Action at The Bike Playground’s First Anniversary

MANILA, Philippines – April 2018: As the first and only Bike Park in the country, The Bike Playground celebrated another milestone with its first anniversary event. Last April 7, 2018, The Bike Playground held the Red Bull Pump Track World Championships qualifier, an exhilarating global race series that took local pump track racing to new heights, and welcomed local biking enthusiasts from all over the country.

This was held as one of the qualifier events that are undertaken in cities around the world, which will culminate with the grand final to be held on September 7, 2018 in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. This is set to coincide with the world-renowned Union Cycliste Internationale Mountain Bike (UCI MTB) World Championships, where the official Pump Track World Champion will be named in the finals.

For the Philippine leg of the competition, Jericho Farr takes the win in Manila for the men’s category, with Lea Denise Belgica taking the top spot in the women’s.

With heart-pumping bike exhibitions to thrill the crowd, The Bike Playground’s anniversary also featured Dutch professional mountain biker Joost Wichman, winner of the 2013 UCI Championship, World Cup racer, Radon Factory rider & team manager, and celebrity in the biking world was present as a participant in the Philippine leg of the qualifiers.

The global race series is being jointly undertaken by Red Bull and Velosolutions. 

Velosolutions is globally known for its pump track and bike park construction, and is also the name behind the superior offerings of The Bike Playground’s first-rate facilities. Headed by international designer and mountain bike luminary Claudio Calouri, Velosolutions offers customized solutions for various cycling needs.

A top-notch facility that promotes cycling as an activity that can be enjoyed by all, the Bike Playground offers bike rentals and assistance from highly skilled coaches from the Philippine National Team. It also houses the country’s first indoor asphalt pump track, which can be used even during the rainy season. An outdoor trail and a kids’ track expands the list of spaces that can be enjoyed within the park.

The Bike Playground is located within Circulo Verde, a 10-hectare master-planned mixed-use community envisioned by its developers, Ortigas & Co., to become an active lifestyle destination. Situated in Circulo Verde, Calle Industria, Quezon City, the Bike Playground has become a favoured destination among bikers, who enjoy its range of offerings and fun events held especially for the biking community.
