Garlic takes center stage as Krazy Garlik expands to a second location, opening at SM Mall of Asia on December 6. The restaurant marks the continued growth of The Bistro Group’s newest dining concept, following the launch of its maiden branch at One Ayala.
Located at Level 2 of the Entertainment Mall, the Mall of Asia branch features quirky interiors, a bar, and an al fresco dining area that offers a seaside view. The space can accommodate up to 104 diners, positioning it as a casual yet lively spot for both mall goers and groups looking to linger over shared plates.

The menu leans into bold flavors, with garlic used as the hero ingredient across dishes. Among the standout entrees are the signature 40 Kloves Chicken, Shrimp on a Roll, and the Bag O Seafood. Guests who enjoy heat can opt for the Harakiri Rice, a dish known for its intense spice level and robust seasoning–my personal favorite. 
Dessert takes an unexpected turn with KKK, short for Krazy Krema Katalana. The dish is the restaurant’s garlic infused take on crème brulee, offering a sweet finish that stays true to the concept’s playful approach.

To complement the food, Krazy Garlik offers a wide range of beverages, including alcoholic cocktails, signature drinks, and ice blended refreshments. Options include Nuts About You, Champorado Koko rama, Turon Krisp N Sip, Missing You Like Candy, Gold Rush, and Whimsical Clouds.
With its arrival at Mall of Asia, Krazy Garlik extends its whimsical take on comfort food to one of the metro’s busiest dining destinations, inviting diners to experience familiar dishes reimagined through the lens of garlic forward cooking.
