Tech Meets Taste: World Kitchens Offers AI-Powered Experience at Gateway Mall 2
Inspired by the comfort food of the world, WORLD KITCHENS is a one-of-a-kind, first-of-its-kind 5-star dining destination created by Singapore’s food and beverage guru Andrew Tan Hock Lai. With 15 show kitchens and international chefs specializing in unique cuisines, this giant full-table-service restaurant offers a variety of international dishes at affordable prices. Serving great food at a single table, and using AI technology for seamless ordering, World Kitchens redefines dining as a global culinary experience.
Located on the 4th level of Gateway Mall 2 in Araneta City, World Kitchens is setting a new benchmark for tech-enabled dining in the Philippines. With a simple scan of a QR code, guests can browse menus from 15 distinct show kitchens, order a variety of dishes from different cuisines, and settle their bill—all without leaving their seat. This makes World Kitchens the first F&B concept in the country to introduce this kind of ordering setup.
This AI-powered ordering system removes the usual friction from group dining, letting guests focus on what truly matters: enjoying great food together.
In any other dining setting, this would mean hopping from one restaurant to another, scanning multiple menus, juggling separate bills. But at World Kitchens, it’s as simple as scanning a QR code. Each table is given a unique QR code that connects to a digital menu of the entire culinary spectrum of World Kitchens: Japan’s Kuro Maguro, Unagi Yukimitsu, and The You No Men; Spain’s Asador de Manila; Hong Kong’s HK Ma’s Bistro; India’s Prana; Singapore’s Chef Fung Private Kitchen; Italy’s Dario Pizza & More; and Pinoy favorites by Chef Jessie. Rounding out the experience are Lepak, which serves innovative cocktails, and Sticky Sweet for desserts and handcrafted wagashi. Whether someone craves sushi, biryani, pizza, ramen, or lechon, they can have it all—together and at once.
What truly sets this ordering system apart is how it learns and adapts to each diner. Upon placing an order, the system recommends curated pairings and sides that best complement the selected dish. On a guest’s next visit, the digital menu—if accessed through a logged-in account—remembers previous orders and offers personalized suggestions based on their dining history, creating a smarter, more customized experience every time.
This effortless blend of technology and taste results in a frictionless experience from start to finish, making World Kitchens more than just a dining destination. It’s a venue for connection, celebration, and culinary discovery.
