You decided to try something out of the ordinary by making your own choices without any family member knowing what meal they will eat for lunch for the day. You come across from Grab Food which is Senor Pollo that has a Whole Chicken with choice of 4 sides that are available in the branch you've decided to order for PHP 1,020.00 ($20.40).

Teaza Milk Tea Philppines

Carmina was craving Filipino taho, the kind we usually buy from vendors outside our home. Being stuck at home during the lockdown, we started looking for alternatives to satisfy our cravings. While browsing Grab Food, Carmina searched for "taho" on the app and stumbled upon Teaza Milk Tea. They offered a unique Taho and Brown Sugar Slush that piqued her curiosity, especially since it was part of their Soy Series. This new drink is available in two sizes: small for PHP 114.00 ($2.28) or large for PHP 138.00 ($2.76). You can customize the sweetness level too, choosing from 100%, 75%, 50%, or 25%. Carmina is enjoying her Taho and Brown Sugar Slush, which has made her too full to eat dinner, but that’s perfectly fine. Vanilla Milk Tea is available in Medium for PHP 90.00 ($1.80) or Large for PHP 102.00 ($2.04). Choose your tea type—Assam or Oolong—and customize the sugar level to your liking. It’s merienda time for Carmina, the perfect snack break between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM befo...

Pepi Cubano in the Philippines

Carmina decided to switch venues and explore cuisine from different countries. For now, we can travel through the flavors of food served in the Philippines and share these experiences with others. This time, I decided to try some Pepi Cubano sandwiches. Pepi Cubano features slow-roasted pork , ham, pickles, mustard, and cheese for PHP 190.00 ($3.80). Tito Choropan with chorizo hamonado , sliced jalapeños , cheese, and chimichurri sauce for PHP 170.00 (around $3.40). Tip: We asked for the chimichurri sauce to be served on the side to keep the Tito Choropan from getting soggy during delivery via Grab Food . Pan De Verdura , packed with roasted eggplant, bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese , is priced at PHP 210.00 ($4.20). Review from Carmina: I really liked the Pan De Verdura; all my favorite vegetables were included. I just made sure to inform them when placing the order not to add bell peppers to my sandwich. I could taste a hint of jalapeno, possibly from t...
