Getting a year older is a milestone many of us look forward to annually.

It’s a beautiful reminder of the journey that we’ve had in the past 365 days and it allows us to be grateful for the experiences that we’ve been through.

At the same time, we also get to share this special day with the people closest to our hearts. Bringing our friends and family together in one space lets us appreciate the beauty of life more and makes us feel the love around us.

Just like all Filipino gatherings, such feasts are never complete without delicious food to bond over. It’s ingrained in our tradition to either prepare a spread of dishes at home or head to a restaurant for a memorable birthday bash.

If your birthday is just around the corner, this article is for you. We’ve outlined 6 restaurants with birthday promo in SM Supermalls! Unlock more core memories with your loved ones as you spend your significant day with them.

Fill your stomach with an exceptional hotpot meal at Tong Yang

Even when it’s not drizzling, we cannot deny that hotpot season is always a good option when our heart longs for a warm, generous meal. Hotpot sessions give us the opportunity to customize our bowls according to our topping preferences and also allow us to be a chef as we cook the ingredients we’ve chosen.

Having your birthday celebration at a hotpot place hits home which is why Tong Yang is the first on our list. With more than a hundred seafood, meat, and vegetables to choose from, you’re surely up for a meal you won’t easily forget.

Relish in the classic dishes you and your family love at Shakey’s

No matter how many pizza parlors open shop in the Philippines, we always go back to a fun family restaurant — Shakey’s.

Famously adored for its thin-crust pizza, their version exudes a crispy yet still slightly chewy texture which balances the flavors from its toppings. There are also lots of pizza variants to choose from such as the classic Pepperoni Pizza Americana and their delectable Scallop Primo Pizza.

Not just that, but the kiddos are always so excited to munch on the well-seasoned mojos at Shakey’s. These sliced potatoes are an instant winner on the dinner table as they can be eaten alone or dipped in different sauces like Zesty Caesar, Garlic Ranch, Smoky Barbeque, and Cheddar De Luxe.

No other restaurant screams ‘family’ like Chili’s with its huge servings — feeding large groups and making sure each one leaves the place with a happy tummy. With over two decades of being in the food scene, it has certainly made a name for itself and has been part of many festivities.
