Who could ever forget those intimate events and concerts held at SM Megamall’s Satchmi? Brings us back to their “Feels” show that happened on Valentine’s Day of 2015–where the quaint shop’s location overflowed with avid music fans, the crowd of people reaching the halls outside.This was simply one of the many signs that Satchmi needed pave way for growth–literally. The brand recently opened their renovated (and bigger!) Megamall branch to the public just last Thursday, July 14, 2016.
Mainly recognized for their vinyls, Satchmi widened their assortment of goods to even more knick-knacks attractive to the young Filipino creative. Other than vinyls and assorted local CDs, the brand also carries handcrafted goods from Filipino suppliers, such as notebooks and various music and art paraphernalia. Of course, many have grown to become fans of their very own artisan coffee.
Everything about the new and improved Satchmi branch screams more: more products (including an exclusively curated camera accessories line from Film Folk), coffee equipment, and yes, they’ve finally got food!
With the help of chefs Him Uy de Baron and JJ Yulo, Satchmi dipped their toes into the world of gastronomy and came up with their own menu of sandwiches, bruschettas, and dessert. Naturally, all these yummy treats are best paired with the shop’s coffee.
Here are some of Satchmi’s new gastronomic offerings below! Though we would’ve loved to try ’em all, we at the Scout team could only eat so much in one sitting.
Satchmi’s Reuben is the go-to sandwich for every meat lover. We won’t have any problems dropping by just for this.
Going vegetarian? The melted brie and pickled beets is a healthy *and* satisfying option. The cheese here is so rich, it oozes out of the sandwich as soon as you take a bite.
The grilled 3 cheese with a side of tomato jam is great for merienda. As a self-proclaimed cheese addict, this has my stamp of approval.
Another appetizer for fellow cheese addicts, Satchmi’s cheesesteak soup is a stew made with bits of beef, bread squares, and of course, cheese.
This avocado with salmon toast is our favorite Scout’s favorite. All the calories, but we swear to the food gods that it is worth it.
This Panna Cotta with fresh fruits is best for when you’re only feenin’ for a bite of dessert.
Chocolate, whipped cream, and banana—where can you go wrong with this, really?
The caramel sauce on this New York cheesecake tops it off effortlessly.
Have some of Satchmi’s cappucino (which has been around before)
Or wash it all down with an iced mocha.
