SM Supermalls champions MSMEs at SM Dagupan's Bangus Festival Food Fiesta

 Dagupan sizzled with pride, flavor, and Filipino flair as SM Center Dagupan brought the heat to the city’s iconic Bangus Festival with its dynamic Bangus Festival Food Fiesta and up-to-70% summer sale, all while proudly championing local entrepreneurship through SM for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).

In a city known as the Milkfish Capital of the Philippines, the annual Bangus Festival was more than just a celebration — it was a heartfelt tribute to the hardworking people and rich culture that made Dagupan shine. And this year, SM Center Dagupan didn’t just join the party — it elevated it.

Savor Paldo's perfect mix of Korean tradition and culinary creativity at SM Podium

 

Manila just got a taste of royalty with the arrival of Paldo, another first-to-market brands in the Philippines. The first Korean fine dining restaurant is now open at SM Podium. Owned and brought to life by Ryan Bang, the restaurant delivers a dining

experience that’s both casual and refined.

Paldo, which means “eight provinces,” takes its patrons on a journey across South Korea

through dishes that represent the country’s rich and diverse food culture. From bold southern

flavors to delicate northern specialties, the restaurant brings the heart of Korea to Manila.

At Paldo, the goal is simple: to show Filipinos how kings and queens of Korea once dined,

without making it feel intimidating or out of reach. Here, fine dining is made casual and

affordable, while still holding on to the elegance and authenticity of royal Korean meals.

Experience the perfect mix of tradition and culinary creativity, where every dish celebrates the

finest of Korean cuisine by bringing out its rich flavors and textures.

One of Paldo's must-tries is Surasang, also known as the “King’s Meal”—a traditional full-course

spread once served to royals and aristocrats during the Joseon dynasty. It features an

impressive variety of mains and sides, including Doenjang Jjigae (soybean stew), Dakgalbi

(spicy stir-fried chicken), Braised Back Ribs, Royal Modeum Jeon (Korean-style savory

pancakes), and Japchae (stir-fried glass noodles).

For something more curated, try Chef Sam Kim’s Signature Set—a thoughtfully selected lineup

of traditional Korean dishes elevated with modern flair. The set includes Briquettes Bulgogi,

marinated pork grilled over charcoal, and Doenjang Jjigae, a rich soybean stew with snails, tofu,

mushrooms, and vegetables.

Both sets are served with a variety of carefully prepared side dishes, each chosen to round out

the meal and bring out the essence of Korean flavors.

Paldo also offers a range of drinks that perfectly suit the bold flavors of each meal, making

every bite even more satisfying.

Complementing the food is Paldo’s warm and elegant interior, with wood accents and earth

tones that transport diners straight to the heart of a traditional Korean setting—perfect for both

casual lunches and special dinners. It’s a great fit for SM Podium, offering a unique and

elevated dining experience in one of the city’s top lifestyle destinations.

Visit Paldo at the 5th level of SM Podium and enjoy a unique Korean fine dining concept.

Whether you’re gathering for a special meal or simply treating yourself, Paldo brings the rich

flavors and traditions of Korea to the heart of the city. There’s always more to enjoy and more to share at SM. Visit www.smsupermalls.com or follow @SMSupermalls on social media for more exclusive dining experiences.
