I used to think that the food choices at SM Lanang Premier were pretty good with great casual dining options at its newly re-christened Northwing, its SkyGarden, as well as the fast food strip at the third level. What was missing though was the middle ground where there are better food choices. Enter the SM Food Hall.
Touted as Davao City’s newest food destination. The SM Food Hall was opened in SM Lanang Premier last November 11, bringing in more colors, flavors, and fun to the local food scene in the area. Located at the Northwing’s second level, it is the home to unique eight food concepts that serve a range of bites and delights—from local comfort food to international cuisines.
“SM Lanang Premier’s Food Hall will take families and friends together on an exciting adventure of flavours,” said SM Lanang Premier Food Hall manager April Nuqui. Feast on Filipino specialties like the Lechon Belly Especial at SALO from Manila. This Tagalog favorite offers comfort food choices, making the regular family “salo-salo” a great dining experience.
Seafood lovers get the best fruits of the sea from La-Ku-Sea-Na. The brand sounds like “La Cocina,” which is what it is—but it also means “seafood kitchen.” La-Ku-Sea-Na is the latest food concept of Fiesta Dabaw, a leading Davao City fast food chain since the 90s. The growing demand for Korean dishes and desserts makes Noonsaram a must-try at the SM Lanang Premier Food Hall. Noonsaram serves popular specialties such as Kimbap (seafood rolls), Bibimbab (steamed rice with meat and vegetables) and their famous Bingsoo and toasted bread.
The boxing-themed Red Corner Burger Cafe—famous for their Muhammad Ali, Pacman, and El Terible burgers—will soon enter the ring with their light and heavy weight specialties and knockout milkshakes. My personal favourite is Panda Shabu Shabu, a healthy new way to enjoy Chinese cuisine from the food group that created Vikings buffet.
For sweet lovers, Cherrie’s Ice Cream and Cookie boasts of homemade ice cream (with fresh milk coming straight from the farm) paired with scrumptious cookies that make the perfect dessert. Juice Co: The Juice Bar offers 16 refreshing fruit juices and yogurt drinks to-go—all are made with Davao’s bounty of fruit.
Those in need of a quick snack can have caramel, pizza, and truffle fries at Potato Corner Plus, the exclusive brand of Potato Corner for SM Food Halls. Potato Corner Plus carries new products and a new look, making snacking extra delicious.
The SM Lanang Premier Food Hall’s spacious dining area can accommodate over 350 seats. Natural lighting also makes every foodie’s table Instagram worthy, while the hall’s contemporary ambience makes it a food destination to always come back to.
