The Art of Indulgence

Some chocolates are so good they become an experience all on their own—and that’s exactly what you get with Läderach. Switzerland’s world-famous chocolatier has finally arrived at SM Mall of Asia, marking its first store in the Philippines. Known for its silky pralines, crisp nut-studded slabs, and decadent truffles, each bite strikes the perfect balance of rich and refined. Whether you’re into bold, dark notes or creamy, melt-in-your-mouth goodness, this is Swiss chocolate done right. One visit and you’ll know—this is the gold standard of indulgence.

Brunch O’Clock

Who says brunch is only for weekends? With the first Brunch Bureau in SM now open at the 2nd Level of S Maison, we’ve made it easier to turn any time of day into an excuse for pancakes at 3 PM.
