The New Restaurants Worth Trying—and Dressing Up For—at SM Supermalls
Fashion folk don’t eat out of convenience. They eat with intention—between errands, after fittings, before alignment meetings that run longer than planned. To them, the best meals aren’t afterthoughts; they’re destinations. And lately, new restaurants at SM Supermalls have become a destination where good taste—on the plate and otherwise—meets.

This isn’t about eating more. It’s about eating better: knowing what’s worth your appetite, your time, and yes, even your outfit. From quick bites that still feel deliberate to meals you schedule the rest of the day around, these are the new dining haunts fashion folk are making room for.
The Snack You Grab Between Errands (That Still Feels Considered)
Snacking shouldn’t feel like settling. If it does, it’s not worth stopping for.
Pizza Planet at SM North EDSA has a distinctly quirky streak, with sci-fi interiors that feel like a Stanley Kubrick-George Lucas passion project. Fortunately, the pizza isn’t make-believe at all: stretchy cheese, proper crust, and diverse flavors that more than hold their own—proof that the food is doing the heavy lifting here.
Tasty and quick, Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks at SM City Fairview understands the assignment. XXL Chicken, oyster mee sua—the food here is straightforward and don’t require much explanation. The options are quick and exactly as craveable as promised, enough to tempt you to a bigger food trip to Taiwan after.
What to wear: The good fit you’re already in for a day’s worth of to-dos
The Buffet You Actually Dress Up For
All-you-can-eat only works when it feels intentional. Otherwise, it’s just noise.
This is indulgence done properly—and anything less isn’t indulgence at all. The spread at King’s Feast Luxury Buffet by Buffet 101 at SM North EDSA is generous without being chaotic, polished without trying too hard. Come hungry, pace yourself, and expect to stay longer than planned.
Hot pot is not a rushed affair, and the country’s first Mo-Mo Paradise at SM Megamall never treats it like one. Built for long tables and longer conversations, it’s the kind of place where lunch dates spill over to the afternoon. The slow-simmered shabu-shabu and sukiyaki are comforting, deliberate, and always hit the spot.
What to wear: Tailored, anti-fit separates for hours of indulgence. Plus points if the material is splatter-proof.
For When Subtle Is Not the Mood
Some days call for restraint. Others demand flavor with a sharp point of view.
Siklab+ at S Maison serves Filipino food with conviction. Classics are respected but never tiptoed around—the menu boasts familiar favorites with descriptive if not assertive names such as Paboritong Pork Sisig, Kuhol ni Tanggol, and Kalamay sa Latik. You don’t come here for nostalgia—you come here because you’re done being underwhelmed.
There is no second-guessing when the craving is Thai. You’ll want to head over to Thaiwadee at SM Southmall where the Pad Thai and Tom Yum Goong are flavorful, and deeply satisfying. Soon to open, Thaiwadee understands that classics don’t need reinvention—they just need to be done right.
Indian food doesn’t whisper, and neither does Royal Indian Curry House Bistro at SM North EDSA. From rich murgh makhani to fragrant biryani, the flavors are layered, spice-forward, and unapologetic. This is the meal you choose when you want something that announces itself—subtlety be damned.
What to wear: Dark co-ords to offset the bold colors of your Asian spread
Clean Eating Without the Punishment
Being “good” shouldn’t feel like a personality change.
Light, fresh, and genuinely filling, Korean chain Salady at SM Megamall and its healthy bowls and wraps prove that restraint can still taste great. This is where you go when you want to feel good after eating—not like you’ve endured something after depriving yourself.
What to wear: Palate-cleansing cloud dancer to echo the good you’ve been doing to your body
The Coffee Break That Turns Into a Moment
Coffee isn’t merely a pick-me-upper. It’s permission to slow down, to sit longer than planned, and perhaps order one more thing from the menu.
With pastries worth lingering over and drinks that feel considered, Cafe Kulture at SM Mall of Asia turns a routine stop into a pause. Come for their artisanal coffee, crepes, and donuts. Stay because the mood insists.
What to wear: A casual shirt and denim combo anchored by metal accessories. Très chic!
