CREATIVE DINING AREAS IN MALLS
Al fresco dining becomes a top of the world experience at The Podium in a lush garden setting amidst stunning skyscrapers and at SM Aura Premier’s Skypark with its safari-inspired theme
Dining with the metro skyline as a backdrop; pink flamingo inflatables serving as reminders for diagonal seating; smiley chairs and emojis; magical friends like Elly the Elephant and Benny the Bunny joining in the fun. These are some of the highlights of creative and innovative dining spaces in SM’s malls to make the recently allowed dining out experience more fun and exciting for customers while practicing health and safety protocols. Al fresco dining becomes a top of the world experience at The Podium in a lush garden setting amidst stunning skyscrapers, and at SM Aura Premier’s Skypark with its safari-inspired theme. Both The Podium and Aura also have set up dining areas in their respective atriums where customers can enjoy their ordered meals as they establish social distancing.
SM Megamall’s Event Center, on the other hand, has been transformed into a tropical paradise with inflatable flamingos and pink, purple and yellow inflatable floaters. In the area, which can accommodate up to 34 diners, pink inflatable flamingos and summery stickers also serve as reminders for diagonal seating arrangements as part of the health and safety protocols in the dining areas.
Also at SM Megamall, its Mega Atrium will bring a lot of smiles to customers with its Instagram-worthy displays of different emojis — some wearing masks and other protective equipment. There are also larger-than-life smiley chairs in the area, which has a maximum seating capacity of 18 persons.
The SM Mall of Asia has transformed its airy bright event center into an extended dining area where the mall’s magical friends — Leon the Lion, Haley the Hippo, Gerry the Giraffe, Macky the Monkey, Cyril the Squirrel, Benny the Bunny, Elly the Elephant, Hanna the Panda and Sebi the Zebra — can join in the set to make dining more fun. MOA’s friends in miniature are also placed on top of tables as reminders to stay one meter apart.
