Get Your 2026 Craving Non-Negotiables At SM Supermalls in the Metro



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.

SM Supermalls is starting the year by bringing in new dining spots that can transport you to a new era full of fresher concepts, bolder flavors, and better choices. Proving time and time again why it deserves to be your most beloved mall with spots that raise expectations, break routines, and make eating out feel fun again.

So before your calendar fills up with plan after plan, consider this your ultimate craving promise: to never negotiate when it comes to where and how you eat. Because if there’s one thing we’re not bringing into the year, it’s settling. 




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.




NON-NEGOTIABLE 3: Bold Flavors Are Not Optional

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.




  • Thaiwadee 
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.

The standards are set, so let your cravings do the rest.

You don’t need a plan for this part, you’ll know when you’re hungry. And when your craving finally calls, your favorite SM Supermalls has already answered with more new spaces, new names, and better food options than ever.

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.

CHURROSTAR Now Open at SM City Valenzuela



The Korean food craze shows no signs of fading, and it now has a delightful new stop in Valenzuela City. CHURROSTAR, a new twist on the classic churro, has officially launched at SM City Valenzuela, adding a lively, street-snack ambiance to the mall's expanding food scene.

Churros are more than simply a sweet treat at CHURROSTAR. Each one is created to order and fried to a perfect golden crisp, with a soft, chewy middle that virtually melts in the tongue. The aroma of warm dough and sugar permeates the store, making it nearly hard to walk by without stopping for a taste.

Customers can stick with traditional flavors like cinnamon or icing sugar or try something new. Dipping sauces range from chocolate and caramel to crowd favorites like ube and berry, combining traditional flavors with a modern, Korean-inspired twist. It's a dish that's as enjoyable to eat as it is to shoot.

Aside from the food, CHURROSTAR has carved out a market for casual indulgence. It's the ideal venue for a quick merienda, a post-shopping treat, or catching up with friends over a modern and comfortable sweet snack. It is intended to be a frequent stop rather than a one-time treat, with ample servings at reasonable costs.

CHURROSTAR's arrival reflects a larger shift in dining trends. Korean-inspired concepts are gradually influencing the local food scene, and malls such as SM City Valenzuela are becoming popular destinations for experiencing new flavors without leaving the north side.

Find CHURROSTAR on the second floor of SM City Valenzuela and prepare to satisfy your taste senses with something both familiar and delightfully new.
