Mall of Kitchens: A one-stop-shop for kitchen needs for commercial/industrial and residential use







Next to make up and skincare, the second isle that I have been frequenting to is the kitchen wares and mini appliances when I am at the mall. Those mini ovens, big spoons and elegant stainless wares fascinate me to no end, upon watching "Master Chef with Gordon Ramsay" I dreamed of having those international wares and high tech ovens installed in my kitchen and whipped complicated dishes.



If you are the one who would start up a fast food business and is looking for those quality kitchen equipment, utensils, food service furniture, there is a Mall of Kitchens located in Makati. It is a one-stop-shop for kitchen needs for both commercial, industrial and residential use.

Mall of Kitchens (MOK) has recently been renovated to serve its customers better.


Modules for different business formats
MOK is now equipped with different modules for specific business formats making the place more customer friendly.  A look at the sprawling 2,500-square meter facility reveals set-ups (or business models) for a Café/Bar, Bakery, Hot Kitchen, Gelateria, Wine Room and Show Kitchen.    It also sports an airy vibe and more modern and hip interiors.




Each module features all equipment, small wares and furniture necessary to set up a business (e.g. coffee machine & grinder, blenders cake display case, dishwasher and smallwares such as glassware, cups and saucers for a start-up Café & Bar; a gelato machine and gelato mix ingredients for a Gelateria;  bakery ovens, proofer, spiral mixers, under counter chillers,  smallwares such as spatulas, sheet pans wire whisks,  and other baking needs for a Bakery or Pastry shop; a combi steamer oven, fryer, griller/ griddle, wash water commercial kitchen hood with UV light, conveyor pizza oven for a professional hot kitchen.




Some of the flagship equipment brands that can be found at MOK are Convotherm Combi Oven, Manitowoc Ice Machines, Frymaster Deep Fryers, Taylor Soft Serve Machine, Vittore Coffee Machines, Lincoln Conveyor Ovens, True Refrigeration Equipment, Vitamix Blenders, Winterhalter Dishwasher, Turbo Air Reach in chillers & Freezers, Menumaster Microwave Oven, Williams wine chillers and Kolb Deck Ovens which are top choices by hotel chefs, quick services restaurants, fastfood chains, coffee shops and other businesses in the foodservice industry.




MOK’s re-design also allows for simultaneous food demos.  On an ordinary day, you’ll see customers like hotel chefs, entrepreneurs and even homemakers listening to MOK’s sales and technical teams showing the features of kitchen equipment and how to use them and corporate chefs holding product demos.



“We have re-designed Mall of Kitchens in such a way that our customers would know what to expect and what to purchase in case they’re interested in a start-up business and for those who want to modernize and update their kitchens. All these are can be done in a bright, spacious, and a more relaxing, customer-friendly and kitchen like environment,” Norell Ortega, Vice-President for Sales, Foodservice Manila, said.

Ideas at the Kitchen aisle 
Aside from these business modules, MOK also refurbished the Smallwares Area, setting up new gondolas by category to make them easier to navigate.

The systematically organized aisles are filled with kitchen and dining essentials suited to the needs of customers.  Corporate clients as well as walk-in customers like homemakers, culinary students and foodies will be pleased to see a wide assortment of smallwares.






Aisles that are found by the right side of the mall carries a mélange of dining fundamentals like dinnerware, flatware, glassware, to houseware, crystals, pots and pans, condiments and consumables. Further inside, one can also find kitchen necessities like bakery, coffee, pizza, and bar supplies, utensils, food storage basics and cleaning tools. There are also dining table displays and stylish and elegant buffet set-ups   to give customers ideas on how to arrange their dining tables or prep their buffet for those special dinners.



  “Our products are priced competitively—if not lower, than others.   We have principals and suppliers from the USA, Europe, the Middle East, and other Asian countries,” said Jenny Carlos, Mall of Kitchens’ Vice President Sales for Smallwares.   “We also attend international trade shows to keep abreast of innovative and up-to-the-minute trends and designs for further customer satisfaction,” she added.





MOK’s smallwares brands include world-class products such as Rak Porcelain, Athena, De Buyer, American Metal Craft, Table Craft, and Zieher. “We sell products that one cannot find in other stores like some of our flatware and buffet set-ups which are being used by top hotels.  We give customers easy access to these,” Carlos explained.





Stories from the Kitchen
MOK is a division under Technolux, the country’s largest importer and supplier of a complete line of foodservice, small wares and laundry equipment for 41 years.

We used to have a small display area measuring 20sqm, then moved to a 400sqm showroom,” Carlos shared.   “But since we needed a bigger space to showcase our growing number of brands and over 3,000 SKUs of commercial equipment and smallwares. So MOK was opened in 2012. The store concept has since then morphed into a fully-integrated showroom and a culinary haven that allow the market to be in step with the trends in the foodservice and hospitality industry.”  
“What sets us apart from other distributors is that MOK is not only a showroom, it is also a retail store. We have sales executives to service our corporate clients as well as staff for walk-in customers. Our value added offering is that our customers can visit MOK, peruse our products and equipment and leave the store with their purchases. It is easy and convenient. Plus, parking is never a problem because we have a big parking area for customers,” Carlos added.

Value added services
As part of the excellent Technolux brand of service, MOK has well-trained and efficient sales executives who are willing to give sound advice and recommendations to customers.

 It also offers “Technolux By Design,” where clients can avail of consultancy and kitchen design from Technolux Kitchen and Laundry designers. This may be availed of for free upon purchase of their equipment.

 “We not only offer a wide range of worldwide brands but prompt after sales service as well - from equipment demos, purchase, delivery, and installation, and preventive maintenance programs as part of our commitment in serving the foodservice industry” Ortega explained.






Cooking up exciting plans at the kitchen

  5. A subsequent kitchen sink can be remembered for the kitchen island. Utilize a sink that is profound enough for washing huge pots and container, and consider outfitting the kitchen island with a waste disposal unit, waste disposal, reuse canister and even a dishwasher. Cleanup will be a lot simpler when these apparatuses are nearby the sink. Freezer Repair Vancouver
