Gather your besties for a pizza and pasta night at Pizzulu

Started out as a small-scale business with only a 30sqm space during the pandemic, Pizzulu has stood the test of numerous lockdowns and fast-evolving food trends. By serving fresh brick oven pizza, it has gone above and beyond in capturing the hearts of many Filipinos.

From an online business, it has established physical branches for people to dine in and enjoy their orders without the agony of waiting for the delivery to reach their doorstep. To top it off, their branch located in MOA Food Hall has a sleek and minimalist look that will make you post every corner on Instagram.

When eyeing a pizza for the gang, we recommend the Prosciutto & Arugula Pizza. The combination of the sweet and salty notes of the prosciutto and the freshness that comes from the arugula makes this elevated dish certainly worth a try.

Make sure to add a Burrata and a drizzle of the Truffle Honey to enhance the pizza’s flavor even more.

If you’re with seafood lovers, Pizzulu’s Squid Ink Spaghetti with Seafood Pasta won’t disappoint as it brings shrimp, mussels, and clams all in one plate. This tangy plate is more than just a good-looking dish, especially as it provides the briny taste we’re looking for.

What are you waiting for? Call your friends for a Friday dinner and utilize a Pizzulu discount code to order more food without breaking the bank.

Feast over a scrumptious roasted pig at Cebu’s Best Rico’s Lechon

One of the top reasons why we love traveling is to eat what locals eat. Case in point, we book a flight to the Queen City of the South in order to get our hands on the tasty roasted pig or as we like to call it, lechon. The good news is that we don’t have to travel far anymore as Cebu’s Best Rico’s Lechon is now in SM Mall of Asia along Seaside Avenue.

Many Cebu locals and Filipinos in general are firm believers that this food spot serves one of the juiciest charcoal-roasted pigs in the country. Every bite is oozing with flavor as the pig meat gives you a burst of organic spices. Dip it in the soy sauce and calamansi mixture and you’ll find yourself asking for more cups of rice on your plate!

We can’t forget the star of the show — the lechon skin. This crunchy and caramelized skin is an addicting eat that is usually the first to run out on the feast spread. No doubt that the crispy texture that this has balances out the softness and juiciness of the meat.

With or without a grand celebration, having lechon for your meal is always a good decision. It might even be your lucky day, so check out the SM Deals website. You might just stumble upon a Cebu’s Best Rico’s Lechon promo!

Regardless if it’s raining cats and dogs or the scorching heat of the sun is upon us, sipping a bowl of malatang warms not only our tummies but also our souls. Hailing from Sichuan, China, malatang when translated to English directly means “spicy, numbing soup.”

With its soup base ingredients consisting of peppercorns and chilis, this dish is similar to a traditional hotpot where various meats, vegetables, and sides are boiled into the broth. The aromatic spice that every malatang bowl gives always hits home as each serving is jam-packed with bold, fiery flavor.

When you’re around SM Mall of Asia, you surely won’t regret heading to Sichu Malatang for your delicious hotpot fix.
