Photos coutesy of Manila Daily Photo and Yuga's Photo gallery.

SM Mall of Asia is the largest shopping mall in the Philippines. It has many luxury stores and dining establishments. It's main attraction is the IMAX theater. I've only been there once though. Here's a compilation of some restos and dining places at SM Mall of Asia. All these reviews are from the forum at Female Network. I know I won't be able to eat at those restos I decided to just compile their reviews here in my blog for my own personal use.

Pomodoro Verde - pastas range from Php 160-250, pizzas Php 160-200 (large sizes Php 400+), salads Php 200-250, starters are below Php 250

Bedscene - the place has nice decor. Entree is around Php 300

Pink Pepper - cozy ambience. Must try is their Spicy Ribs

Gumbo - New Orleans foods (spicy foods and lots of seafoods). Big servings, pricey but worth it. Recommended dishes are the Grande Ribs, Jambalaya and Buffalo wings. Must try are the family feast, Black chicken, Honey glazed chicken, Cheesy baked oysters, Rockefeller oysters and crabcake. Minnesota mud pie with one block of ice cream for dessert is good.

Mojito Bar - their Mongojito is good and also affordable

Gram's Diner - good American food. Each meal consists of an entree, soup, coffee or tea. Good sandwiches, great shakes and great dessert (around Php 140 choco cake with vanilla ice cream)

Oki Oki - good Japanese food. Tempura is around Php 250, sashimi with wasabi, oyakodon around Php 170

Juanbambu - Asian food. Prices is less than 200 pesos, some combo meals. Good bagoong rice and cha gi, good green tea

Tandoor king - watered down indian food. Prices are less than 200 pesos. Good chicken kare and beef kofta

Kalye Juan - Pinoy foods. The foods are yummy but the place is small, have to wait longer to be seated

Crazy Roll - maki and sushi with a twist. Reasonably priced

Lamesa Grill - Good interior and concept. Must try is their platter of shrimp kebab, ribs, chicken and fish. Bread pudding dessert is good. Poor service. Small servings for the food

Burgoo - more spaceous compared to other restos

Bangus - good food, generous servings. Set menu (rice, sinigang, pork, 2 kinds of bangus is around Php 650)

Azul - Filipino-Spanish resto. Nothing to rave about their food. Paellas and other dishes are good for 2-3 persons, salads for 1-2. Poor service. A budget of Php 500/person will suffice.

Cafe Breton - they have the best epresso, but their Cafe mocha is too sweet. Firewall and Eden crepes are fine. Poor service.

Chocolat- great Deep dark choco cake Php 43/slice, Sugar Free Choco Mousse Php 54/slice. Must try plain choco, Bailey's choco, Carrot cake topped with choco icing. Lemon squares are also good.
