Foodies, art lovers, and gamers—this new hangout spot in the EAST has something for every squad.

From Neapolitan pizza and Okinawan steak to billiards showdowns and art-filled corners, the new East Wing at SM City East Ortigas is more than just a foodie playground—it’s a vibrant hangout spot.

For the Art Squads: The Glow-Up by Kiefsix

Adding to the cool factor? Manila-based illustrator and creative director Kiefsix (Kiefer Indiongco) transformed blank walls into massive, colorful murals. His basketball-inspired, bold designs turn the East Wing into an open gallery, making it as much an art crawl as a hangout hub. And with EYO, a fun, sun-inspired character also designed by Kiefsix, visitors get a playful guide through the space—always selfie-ready and Insta-friendly.

 

For the Foodies: A Passport of Flavors

The East Wing lineup reads like a culinary world tour:

It’s the ultimate fusion of dining and play—a barkada bonding formula that works every time.

And yes, other Food court staples also join the party: Sizzling Plate, Dingers, TEXMEX, Hey Fried Rice, Lechon Belly Kitchen, Potato Corner, Kohi Manju, Barcada and more.
