Here’s where to get food for your friends!
No barkada gimmick is ever complete without food, because no laughter is ever sweet enough without a happy tummy behind it. Food at every hangout is always a good idea, and it’s never a problem for anyone until it’s their turn to treat everyone. Paano na nga ba kung ikaw na ang taya? We’ve all had our fill of the usual fast-food joints—we need options!

On a budget? Here are 28 places where you can treat your barkada.
3M Pizza
The OG of affordable boxed pizza. Since 1969, 3M Pizza has been whipping up classic favorites such as Ham & Cheese and Hawaiian pizzas and serving them in food courts all over the Philippines. Over the years, more flavors have been added, among them distinctly Pinoy varieties such as the Skinless Longga and Pork Sisig pizza.
Narchos
Craving Mexican food? Take the guesswork out of ordering for everyone by creating your own cartel box—which allows you to customize a combination of nachos with quesadilla or tacos or both—or opting for 30 pieces of soft tacos with the Trenta.

Burger Bomb
A burger bomb is a bun with a filling exploding with flavors. You can order it by piece or in boxes of 6 or 12, in a variety of flavors. Want something savory and filling? Try Cheeseburger, Hickory BBQ, and Pizza.
Something cheesy? How about Keso de Bomba and Ube Cheese. Something different? Creamy Spinach, Creamy Pork Floss, or Atomic Bomb might just be up your alley. If you want something fruity though, there’s always the Mango Bomb and Pineapple Bomb.

Nigiri Station
The word ‘Nigiri’ directly translates to ‘to fingers’ and traditionally, this Japanese delicacy features a thinly sliced drapery of raw fish, laid over a cluster of sweet and salty vinegared rice. Nigiri Station, also situated in Angeles City, takes it a step further by adding more ingredients into the mix, offering flavors such as Beef, Bird, and Spam Bird aside from Salmon.

Wadashi
Another Marikina hotspot, and this one is for those craving hot ramen.
