Only a few days before we go on lockdown for the nth time! I can’t even remember when was the last time I got the chance to eat outdoors. Even though I badly miss eating out, it’s still best to be safe during these challenging times so here’s a list of cafes and restos that are within our reach via PayMaya Mall. Just open your PayMaya app, tap the Maya Mall icon, choose Food, and click your chosen restaurant to open their order portals or websites for instant delivery.

Ordering in is made more rewarding with exclusive deals from PayMaya’s partner brands as well. Just last July, they offered huge cashbacks for every purchase and I’m sure that they’ll have more deals coming soon. While there are more than 10 choices in the PayMaya Mall, here are my top picks, which I’ve also already tried and “tasted”:

1. ArmyNavy 

MUST-TRY: Plant-Based Double Burger (P395) 

Did you know that ArmyNavy recently released a Plant-Based menu? Add on a jar of their new Cold Brew Coffee line to their veggie burger, burrito, soft taco, or quesadilla and you’re set for a delicious and healthy lunch. I swear by this!

2. Din Tai Fung 

MUST-TRY: Crab Roe and Pork Xiaolongbao (Starts at P295 for 5 pcs)

3. Popeyes  

MUST-TRY:  US Spicy Chicken Sandwich (P181 for a meal with fries and drink)  

Popeyes made waves when they first came to the Philippines in 2019 for their chicken buckets, burgers, and biscuits. If you haven’t tried any of those yet, now’s your chance – they deliver to select areas in Metro Manila via Central Delivery website. 

4. Frankie’s New York Buffalo Wings

You can also find the top fast food chains in the country like McDonald’s, Jollibee, Chowking, and more within the PayMaya Mall. On top of restaurants, PayMaya ramped up its mobile shopping offers under its PayMaya Mall to include the widest list of over 350 trusted brands in food, groceries, beauty, fashion, and many more. You can access this by downloading the PayMaya app here.

Hope you found something you like! Brace yourselves for more months of staying (safe) indoors.
