This new hangout spot in the east combines food, art, and play in one hub



From cosmopolitan snacks and sizzling hot pot to vivid mural backdrops and barkada game evenings, this East-side center caters to all types of hangouts.

Foodies, art enthusiasts, and gamers—this new hangout space in the EAST has something for everyone.

From Neapolitan pizza and Okinawan steak to billiards tournaments and art-filled corners, the new East Wing at SM City East Ortigas is more than just a gourmet playground; it's also a lively social location.  Whether you're a foodie looking for world flavors, an artist looking for Instagram-worthy backdrops, or a gamer looking for friendly matches at the Game Park, this East-side hotspot combines your interests together in one elegant venue.




For the Art Squads: The Glow-Up by Kiefsix

Adding to the cool factor.  Kiefsix (Kiefer Indiongco), a Manila-based illustrator and creative director, created large, multicolored murals on bare walls.  His bright, basketball-inspired decorations transform the East Wing into an open gallery, serving as both an art crawl and a hangout hub.  EYO, a cheerful, sun-inspired mascot also developed by Kiefsix, provides a lighthearted guide through the space—always selfie-ready and Insta-friendly.

The East Wing lineup reads like a culinary world tour:
  • Paris Baguette – Bakery brand from South Korea serving pastries and cakes.

For the Gamers: Chill + Play at the Game Park

If your group consists of both foodies and gamers, the East Wing Foodcourt + Game Park is the place for you.  After a spicy Thai plate from Thaiwadee, ramen bowls from Buchiton, or K-cravings from Seoul Yummy, walk to the Game Park to relax with billiards, darts, or karaoke.  It's the perfect combination of meals and play, a barkada bonding formula that works every time.

Other food court favorites include Sizzling Plate, Dingers, TEXMEX, Hey Fried Rice, Lechon Belly Kitchen, Potato Corner, Kohi Manju, Barcada, and more.





Why It’s the Spot for Every Squad

Coffee runs, mural selfies, barkada hotpot nights, or game-time showdowns—it’s the kind of place that adapts to your vibe. And with EYO around to brighten every visit, the East Wing becomes the go-to hub for every squad in the East.
