For the new year, let’s raise the standards.
This is the year you stop making compromises when it comes to your cravings. No rushed decisions. No “this is good enough.” And more importantly, no more meals that feel like an afterthought.
NON-NEGOTIABLE 1: Snacks Shouldn't Feel Like A Placeholder
Snacking isn’t something you do just to get by–it’s something you do because you actually want to eat. This year, snacks have to show up with flavor, personality, and zero shortcuts. Whether it’s something cheesy, crispy, or straight-up addictive, quick bites should still feel worth the stop.
● Pizza
Planet
Prepare
to blast off into a galaxy of flavors at Pizza Planet, located at the
Annex, Upper Ground Level of SM North EDSA. When the craving hits,
cheesy and gooey is the only right answer–and this fun, playful spot delivers
every time. It’s your sure fix for comfort food done right, serving an
out-of-this-world experience for kids, kids at heart, and anyone who takes
their pizza seriously.
● Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks
From Taiwan’s streets straight to your plate–Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks at the Foodcourt, SM City Fairview serves crispy, juicy hits you won’t want to miss. XXL Chicken, Handmade Oyster Mee Sua, and all the bold flavors.
NON-NEGOTIABLE 2: All-in Should Mean Actually Going ALL In
All-you-can-eat only works when it actually delivers. No half-hearted spreads. No playing it safe. This year, if you’re committing to unlimited, it has to feel generous, intentional, and satisfying from the first plate to the last.
● King’s Feast Luxury Buffet by Buffet 101
Feast like royalty at King’s Feast Luxury Buffet by Buffet 101, soon to open at the 5th Level of The Block at SM North EDSA. This luxurious all-you-can-eat experience features mouthwatering local and international flavors that never skimp on quality or taste, promising a truly decadent dining adventure fit for kings and queens.
● Mo-Mo Paradise
Say “more, more!” to good
food at Mo-Mo Paradise–the first in PH at the Level 3, Mega Fashion Hall
of SM Megamall. When the plan is unlimited hot pot, this is the place you go
straight to. Slow-simmered shabu-shabu and sukiyaki set the standard for
sharing, slurping, and lingering over a proper meal.
This is the year we stop dialing it down. Big flavors, strong profiles, and dishes that don’t hold back—because great meals should leave an impression. If you’re craving something with heat, depth, or attitude, subtle isn’t part of the plan.
● Siklab+
For local flavors with a
twist you won’t want to miss, head on over to Siklab+ at the
ground level of S Maison. This is the kind of place that resets your
expectations, where Paboritong Pork Sisig, Kuhol ni Tanggol, and Kalamay sa
Latik become the benchmark you compare everything else to.
When the craving is Thai,
you don’t experiment... you go straight to Thaiwadee, soon opening at
the Foodcourt of SM Southmall. Their Pad Thai and Tom Yum Goong stay true to
that
mix of heat, tang, depth, and all that you’re
looking for when you’re not in the mood to compromise.
● Royal Indian Curry House Bistro
Satisfy your curry cravings
at Royal Indian Curry House Bistro soon to open on the 5th Level of The
Block at SM North EDSA. When you’re in the mood for Indian food, bold flavor
and real spice aren’t optional—and this is where you go for it. From their rich
Murgh Makhani to their fragrant Hyderabadi Biryani, every dish hits exactly the
way it should.
NON-NEGOTIABLE 4: Eating Healthy Should Never Be Boring
Healthy doesn’t mean
boring, and it definitely shouldn’t feel like a compromise. With the first Salady
in PH at the Level 5 of the Fashion Hall in SM Megamall, choosing lighter meals
no longer feels like you’re missing out.
NON-NEGOTIABLE 5: Coffee Stops Should Actually Feel Like A Pause Worth Taking
Coffee isn’t just about the
drink, it’s about slowing down, sitting longer than planned, and pairing it
with something you’ll still think about later. Cafe Kulture brings that
energy to the Level 3, South MOA Sky of SM Mall of Asia, turning coffee and
pastries into a moment, not just a routine.
No overthinking, no settling. Just choosing what feels right in the moment, and knowing there’s always something new waiting the next time you come back.
