What You Need Delivered Late at Night with foodpanda

What time is it? A few hours from 10pm? Nobody is going to cook for you, what a bummer! But don't fret! There's always foodpanda, and what better way to start to satisfy your late night cravings with good food from the folks that are still open during these hours!

Uncle John's has Cheesy Beef Empanadas, this is if you think a 2 piece Fried Chicken from the same place is actually too heavy. The Cheesy Beef Empanadas would be enough for a quick bite, but make sure they heat it up in the microwave before you get a bite, it's better when it's hot.

KFC has 10 piece Bucket and a Bucket of Fries. I'm also a Hot and Crispy kind of guy so if you're in the mood for more protein, I'd do that. Make sure you ask for Ketchup and hot gravy because who doesn't want that over hot white rice. I'm hungry just thinking about it!

Pizza Hut has Fivepair 8, which are wraps that's ultra cheesy. Don't forget the hot sauce because who doesn't want a spicy kick in every bite of that cheesy slice you've been wanting all day.

Pickup Coffee has Iced Kape Kastila and a box of 6 donuts. Because Coffee is life, you can have it with your favorite fluffy and wonderfully sweet donuts which you can also blitz a few seconds in the microwave. It's something that can perk you up when it's still your workhours, yes it's possible!

If you're looking for groceries, my pandamart branch is open when I need it, but if in case they're closed, there's always 7-Eleven, Watsons, or AllDay Supermarket. Best of all, you can use the code PASKONA as your voucher so you can get a lot off the original price or delivery rates, because they absolutely can! If you want more of this ideas, make sure you're following foodpanda on all their channels (and download the app!) or their website foodpanda.ph to know more about it!

Perfect Time to Watch and Dine at Gateway Mall and Pizza Hut!

It's the holidays and since it's also local movie season, I've managed to watch 2 MMFF entries at the Gateway Cineplex 10 just last week. It was surreal to actually go back to the cinemas and they made it also safe, which was so reassuring and the follow all protocols to a T. The city of firsts is actually going to make your movie watching experience even better til February, see they're launching 2 things if you're fond of dining out and watching a movie, either way, you'll benefit from this... sounds fun right?

 

First, you can get Php 100 off on your movie ticket purchase if you order Php 1000 worth of food from Pizza Hut. According to the fine print, you have to do it on the smae day so go and present your Pizza Hut recipe and get 2 tickets to get that discount.

 
If you prefer the other promo, you can get a whopping 20% OFF on Large Pan and Stuffed Crust Pizzas for every purchase of a movie ticket from the Gateway Cineplex 10. Since it's still not allowed to eat inside cinemas (because of government regulations and safety rules by IATF), you can keep your tickets right after the screening and dine in or take out pizzas so you can talk about the movie afterwards. That's huge savings especially if you're out on a date. Pretty good deal no?

If you wanna know more about it, go to Araneta City's channels gatewaycineplex10.com or pizzahut.com.ph when you're hungry! Go take a break at Araneta City, watch a movie, dine in and have fun with your family!

HOPE in times of Crisis

Ever wondered why the Maginhawa Community Pantry has been so successful? It's because they do something that makes sense, don't cheat the farmers, and a lot of good, kind hearted people that choose to help each other in times of need. Although there are thousands of them lining up to fill up their pantries, the help didn't really run out and even the local government noticed, a really good thing.

That little brouhaha over red tagging (by some people that this pantry wanted to also help) was definitely an issue, but hopefully it's been cleared. I wish the support QC is giving the organizer (over security) is enough so that they could still help more people who need it. The good deed has also spread like wildfire in other parts of the country, and I'm so happy that happened. We need to still have HOPE that in some way, we all would get through this no matter how impossible it may look like today.

I've seen some private entities are also lending a hand. Like Pizza Hut who sent 10 whole sacks of rice to the Maginhawa Community Pantry, that's going to benefit a lot of people especially since Filipinos consider this as staple. I hope other organizations, corporations do the same. Aside from that, I hope those who line up only get what they need so that others would benefit from it too. (Although I don't know if this is from the corp or their employees, it still is important to help when you can.)

We can't lose hope even if we feel so burdened these days. There are good Samaritans out there that would still love to do it. We need to look for the opportunity to help in times of crisis, look for organizations that do and share what you can. 

We can.
