Classic meals to serve up all the smiles this Grandparents’ Day

It’s an understatement that the bond between child and grandparent is moving and universal. Whenever we need an extra dose of love, warmth, and wisdom, we turn to grandma and grandpa—and they always deliver. So, it’s just fitting to give back and celebrate that special relationship between the generations this Grandparents’ Day, happening on September 13.

Do something grand if you can, but we all know our grams and gramps will appreciate even the simplest gestures just as much, if not more. Make it heartfelt and do as they’ve done throughout the years by treating them to cozy and hearty classics available via the SM Malls Online app. No matter how your grandparents roll, we’re sure you’ll find that in our top picks of lolo- and lola-approved meals, everyone can taste the love.

Classic Savory

Established in 1950, Classic Savory has made its mark in the local dining landscape—with our lolos and lolas probably dining and savoring timeless Filipino-Chinese fare at one of their restaurants back in the day. 

At P2,350, their Supreme Set Menu 1 that’s good for a group of six gathers nostalgic and familiar flavors your grandparents will delight in. It includes Spinach & Seafood Soup, your choice of fried chicken (Classic, General’s Garlic Chicken, or Buttered), Chami, Classic Beef Stew, Spicy Seafood, and Chopsuey—all timeless favorites perfect for a milestone feast. Each set order comes with six servings of steamed rice and drinks.

Available at any SM branch of Classic Savory near you.

The Aristocrat Restaurant

A Rainy Day Bundle for P2,490 comes from another heritage restaurant, built in 1936, known for their classic barbecue specialties and family-style recipes.

Good for four, the set comes with your choice of soup (Sinigang na Tiyan ng Bangus or Sinigang na Hipon), Lumpiang Shanghai, Plain Pork Barbecue, three pieces of Plain Chicken Barbecue, a half-serving of Pork Spareribs Barbecue, a bowl of rice, and a pitcher house blend iced tea. Every dish reflects decades of good Filipino food and tradition.

Red Ribbon

Say it with cake! Make Grandparents’ Day twice as sweet with Red Ribbon’s newest Supreme Ube-Cheese Dedication Cake starting at P609. The two-in-one flavored confection combines soft ube chiffon with a whipped cheese filling, enveloped with creamy ube icing, and finished with delicate swirls of ube buttercream and whipped cheese icing topped with cheese slices.

Each slice is the ultimate sweet and savory balance, with the nutty sweetness and earthy taste of ube cutting right through the rich and salty punch of cheese for that old-timey Pinoy flavor contrast our grandparents lovingly grew up with.

Available at any SM branch of Red Ribbon near you.
