Food, Art, and Play Come Together in One Place at This New Eastern Hangout



From cosmopolitan snacks and sizzling hot pot to vivid mural backdrops and barkada game evenings, this East-side center caters to all types of hangouts.

Foodies, art enthusiasts, and gamers—this new hangout space in the EAST has something for everyone.

From Neapolitan pizza and Okinawan steak to billiards tournaments and art-filled corners, the new East Wing at SM City East Ortigas is more than just a gourmet playground; it's also a lively social location.  Whether you're a foodie looking for world flavors, an artist looking for Instagram-worthy backdrops, or a gamer looking for friendly matches at the Game Park, this East-side hotspot combines your interests together in one elegant venue.


For the Art Squads: The Glow-Up by Kiefsix

Increasing the element of coolness?  Kiefsix (Kiefer Indiongco), an illustrator and creative director based in Manila, created enormous, vibrant murals on bare walls.  His daring, basketball-inspired designs transform the East Wing into an open gallery that doubles as a hangout and an art crawl.  Additionally, guests are given a playful tour of the area by EYO, a colorful, sun-inspired figure created by Kiefsix that is constantly Instagram-friendly and ready for selfies.

For the Gamers: Chill + Play at the Game Park

If gamers and foodies make up an equal portion of your group, the East Wing Foodcourt + Game Park is the perfect venue.   Enjoy ramen bowls from Buchiton, fiery Thai cuisine from Thaiwadee, or K-cravings from Seoul Yummy, and then unwind at the Game Park with pool, darts, or karaoke.   It's the ideal fusion of eating and playing, a time-tested strategy for fostering closer ties between barkadas.

Food court staples like Dingers, TEXMEX, Hey Fried Rice, Lechon Belly Kitchen, Potato Corner, Kohi Manju, Barcada, and Sizzling Plate do participate in the festivities.
