First Bite Energy: What’s New (and Worth Craving) In The Metro at SM Supermalls

There’s just something about trying a place before everyone else does, you know?

That first bite, first sip, first “okay wait this is actually good” moment all hits different when it’s new, or unexpected, or suddenly part of your usual mall loop.

Around SM Supermalls, new food spots are always dropping in. There are cafés for slow days, comfort meals for in-between moments, and first-in-the-country flavors that don’t stay new for long once people catch on.

It’s less about planning where to eat, and more like finding yourself already halfway to your next meal.

From Japanese comfort food to fresh café corners and region-first greens, here’s what’s starting to show up across SM Supermalls where everything is All For You.

Just-Opened Energy (and Soon-To-Be Favorites)

Some spots you’ll hear about first, some you’ll end up going just to try. These are both.

• BHC Chicken 

The Korean chicken spot everyone’s been waiting for is finally landing in the Philippines! BHC Chicken is soon to open its first-ever PH branch at the City Center, Upper Ground Level of SM North EDSA, serving crispy, flavor-packed bites worth lining up for.

• Gyukatsu Motomura Shinjuku 

Straight from Japan and finally making its way to your cravings list. Gyukatsu Motomura Shinjuku is soon opening at the City Center, Upper Ground Level of SM North EDSA with its famous gyukatsu sets cooked exactly how you like them.

• Calle Cafe 

A new café spot is soon joining your go-to rotation. Calle Cafe is opening soon at The Block, Ground Level of SM North EDSA, bringing cozy coffee runs and comfort food moments worth coming back for.

Fresh Finds, Lighter Picks

For days when you want something a little different but still good, there’s a new stop that keeps things fresh without overthinking it. The first-ever SaladStop! in the North Metro is coming soon to SM City Fairview at Central Walk, Lower Ground Level to bring feel-good meals for your everyday flow state, including their best-selling salads, wraps, and bowls.

Food plans don’t always start as plans. Sometimes they just happen in between walks, errands, and those small moments of curiosity, like ‘ayo, this looks good.’ That’s the kind of everyday discovery happening across SM Supermalls—new finds, new cravings, and new reasons to stay a little longer.
