SM Supermalls is giving Kagay-anons more reasons to make everyday moments feel special with two new food destinations opening their doors this month. From a unique seafood dining spot to the region’s first Starbucks drive-thru, locals now have more choices to enjoy good food and good company without going far.

Zubaibai Seafood Restaurant has launched its newest branch at Level 5 of SM CDO Downtown, bringing a fresh take on Filipino seafood feasts. Staying true to local culinary heritage, the pork-free restaurant highlights the Balangay Seafood Boil, a signature platter served in a boat-shaped tray that keeps the seafood hot through built-in burners right at the table. Diners can expect generous servings, modern plating, and flavors that celebrate the richness of the sea.

Meanwhile, coffee lovers on the go can now get their favorite drinks without leaving their cars. Starbucks has officially opened its first drive-thru store in Northern Mindanao at the North Wing of SM City CDO Uptown.

The new branch makes it easier for those with busy schedules to grab a quick caffeine boost, whether it’s a classic Iced Latte or one of the brand’s seasonal blends. For an added treat, customers can pair their coffee with pastries like the Doughssant for a quick pick-me-up before work or errands.

SM Supermalls keeps finding ways to bring new experiences closer to everyone. Whether it’s sitting down for a seafood spread or grabbing coffee on the road, shoppers can expect more choices that fit every craving, schedule and taste.
