Food Cravings, Comfort, and Everything in Between

It’s been said time and time again that “food is the ultimate equalizer; it can comfort, heal, spark memories, or bring people together.” Honestly, it’s hard to argue with that. There are definitely days—if not every day—when you just need to find the right taste to match your mood or moment. Some days it’s something savory, other days something saucy, fried, or just familiar enough to really make your day.

Now, where do you go to eat, whatever kind of day you’re having or whatever mood you’re in? At your most loved mall, SM, here are four reliable spots at SM Foodcourt in SM City Marilao and SM City Baliwag that get it right—matching your craving and your mood to max out your experience.

Sometimes, what you really crave is more than just food, it’s the cozy warmth of home sweet home. Salo delivers exactly that. With branches in most SM Foodcourts, it’s a favorite among balikbayans and locals craving for authentic local flavors. Every mouthful of Salo’s dishes is a heartwarming reminder of family gatherings, holidays, and celebrations. The lechon belly is not to be missed! Crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside, it’s the kind of dish that takes you instantly back home.

2. Sizzling Plate: Hot Plates, Every Time You Need It

Some days call for a little heat and a lot of fun, and the aromatic, sizzling plate comes through like a true friend, always there for you in both good times and bad. A familiar favorite that’s been around for ages, and can be found in most SM Foodcourt branches, Sizzling Plate is where you’ll find a piping-hot plate every time. Perfectly seasoned meat smothered in rich, savory gravy, with fragrant rice and vegetables on the side, make for a satisfying sizzling meal that’s a feast of flavor and memories.

3. Takoyadon: Japanese Flavors, No Passport Required

When you’re in the mood for Japanese and good company, Takoyadon is a solid pick that won’t give you jetlag. Found in select SM Food Hall branches, it offers bite-sized Japanese eats that are flavor-packed, and easy on the wallet. From takoyaki and yakisoba to donburi and udon, you and your friends can enjoy a casual bite while catching up. And the bonus? Zero-airfare.

4. Mr. Kimbob: Bibimbap For The Soul

Sometimes comfort comes in a warm, hearty meal of bibimbap, like the beloved Bibimbob from Mr. Kimbob that hits all the right notes. Warm rice, fresh vegetables, savory chicken, beef or pork, and rich sauce all stirred together make a bowl that’s pure comfort. It’s the kind of food that feels like a warm hug. Mr. Kimbob has branches in most SM Foodcourt.

EAT YOUR WAY TO GOOD FORTUNE AT SM

As the Lunar New Year gallops into 2026, the Year of the Horse ushers in a spirit of energy, ambition, and forward motion. Beyond the vibrant reds, lanterns, and fireworks, Chinese New Year celebrations are deeply rooted in what is served at the table, where every dish carries a wish for prosperity, health, unity, and abundance.

This season, SM City Grand Central, SM Center Sangandaan, and SM City Valenzuela curate a flavorful journey through auspicious Chinese New Year favorites that blend time honored tradition with modern, accessible dining experiences.

Longevity Noodles for a Strong and Healthy Year

Noodles symbolize long life and good health in Chinese tradition. The long, uncut strands represent longevity, making them a must have dish during Lunar New Year celebrations. The belief is simple: the longer the noodles, the longer and healthier the life. Shoppers can enjoy Panda Express’ Chow Mein, a savory stir fried noodle dish mixed with fresh vegetables and seasoned with a soy based sauce. Panda Express is located at the second level of SM City Grand Central.

Dumplings That Symbolize Wealth and Prosperity

Dumplings are among the most popular lucky foods during Chinese New Year. Their shape resembles ancient Chinese gold and silver ingots, symbolizing wealth, success, and financial prosperity. Serving dumplings during the festivities is believed to invite good fortune for the year ahead. Welcome abundance in the Year of the Horse with Wangfu Chinese Café’s lucky dumplings, available at the fifth level of SM City Grand Central.

Spring Rolls for Golden Beginnings

Spring rolls are named after the Spring Festival and are associated with renewal and fresh starts. Their golden, crispy exterior represents gold bars, symbolizing wealth and success. Eating spring rolls also signifies letting go of the old and welcoming new opportunities, perfectly aligned with the energetic spirit of the Year of the Horse. Enjoy a modern take on this symbolic dish with Kuya J’s Lumpiang Quesadilla, available at SM City Valenzuela.

Whole Steamed Fish for Abundance and Unity

In Chinese culture, the word for “fish” sounds like the word for “abundance”. This makes fish an essential dish during Lunar New Year celebrations. Serving the fish whole, with head and tail intact, represents completeness, family unity, and prosperity from beginning to end. Families can share this meaningful dish with Mandarin Sky’s steamed lapu lapu, available at SM City Grand Central, making it an ideal centerpiece for New Year gatherings.

Tikoy for Growth, Harmony, and Sweet Success

Commonly known as nian gao, tikoy symbolizes growth in prosperity and success. Its sticky texture represents strong family bonds and the idea that good fortune stays throughout the year. Traditionally enjoyed as a sweet dessert, tikoy promises a sweet and harmonious year ahead. Find the perfect tikoy at SM Supermarket in SM Center Sangandaan, and explore other Chinese New Year favorites such as hopia and kiat kiat at SM Hypermarket in SM City Valenzuela.
