It might have been months (or years) since you last headed out and enjoyed a meal from your favorite restaurant. If you’re hesitant to dine in but really miss eating at the mall, consider outdoor dining, which is said to be a safer alternative when it comes to minimizing the risk of getting COVID-19. SM malls have plenty of open-air areas with socially distanced tables and adequate ventilation for a safe dining experience. Here are some restaurants where you can have a great meal in an outdoor setting. 

 

Shake Shack

1_SHAKESHACK

Make your way to Shake Shack for burgers that look and taste good. Pair any of their burgers with crinkle-cut cheese fries and a hand-spun shake, which come in yummy flavors like chocolate, salted caramel, and the Manila exclusive ube. Have you tried their dense, rich and creamy frozen custard - spun fresh daily at the Shack? You must! Their vanilla and chocolate recipes use only real sugar, no corn syrup, and milk. Munch on these goodies at the Mega Fashion Hall Terrace near the mall entrance, which is just a few steps away from Shake Shack.

Yabu: House of Katsu

3_YABU_KATSU

Yabu has made a name for itself when it comes to katsu or Japanese-style breaded cutlets. While you can get the usual pork, chicken, and seafood katsu sets, you can enjoy katsu baos and curry katsu here, too! Plus, the side dishes that come with each katsu set—shredded cabbage, miso soup, and rice—are all refillable.

Banapple

Banapple is popular for its huge servings at affordable prices. Case in point: the Hickory Smoked Barbecued Country Ribs come with a generous serving of rice and corn on the side; and the Lasagna Roll-Ups are packed with herby cream, Parmesan cheese, and tomato meat sauce. Banapple’s SM North EDSA branch has an al fresco setup, but you can also find outdoor seating options at the SkyGarden.

Champorado with a twist? You can get it at Providore. Their ube-flavored porridge is made richer with white chocolate tres leches sauce, topped with crispy dangit for that salty contrast. Avail of their Buy 1, Take 1 ube champorado deal until October 31! For heftier meals, you can choose from Providore’s bistro plates, pasta bowls, and baked goods. It’s located near SM Aura Premier’s The Pocket Park, where bikers can park their ride and get some grub.

Panda Express

 

7_PANDAEXPRESS

While American-Chinese fast-food chain Panda Express is known for their signature orange chicken cooked in a sweet, spicy, and tangy sauce, they also have the Kung Pao Chicken or chunks of stir-fried chicken thigh in a peppery sauce mixed with nuts and veggies. Other favorites on the menu include the Broccoli Beef, Eggplant Tofu, and Savory Shrimp. It’s just a couple of steps away from the Mega A Covered Walkway al fresco area!
