EASTWEST and FOODPANDA Launches ULTIMATE FOODIE CARD

Looks like the folks from foodpanda and EastWest Bank are making your foodie adventures even better as they give you the ULTIMATE FOODIE CARD that has got ton of perks, something that's never been seen in the food delivery or restaurant and banking scene. Foodies are definitely special, and what this means for all of us is better benefits on top of the convenience owning an EastWest Bank Credit Card. 

For starters, there's CASHBACK on every foodpanda transaction like 10 percent til Php400 is reached, 3 percent til 3 percent is reached, 1 percent on Overseas spend, and 3 percent on domestic. 

Dani Jaramillo the Managing Director of foodpanda Philippines says "Thank you to our local partner EastWest Bank, Visa, as we now have a shared commitment for our digital first customers. We want to give more deals for our customers to make sure they get their instant cravings. You will get weekly Cashback, as we work hard with our partners, especially the ones who do small purchases very frequently. This just amplifies what we do, and hope you love the benefits the card brings. This also supports NFC and Google Pay."

Jerry Ngo of EasyWest Bank says "Food, Easy and Free, we are now celebrating the launch of the ultimate foodie card. We are pushing the boundaries for Filipinos, positioned for the millenials, so they can spend and get rewarded immediately with the things that they like. Food, experience and entertainment, hopefully with foodpanda and Visa, can be used not just here, but abroad. It's a celebration of food, being easy and free!"

It's super easy to apply via their QR codes, which only requires you IDs and a selfie video. 

Visa also said that it wasn't easy to bring to life but there's value to partnerships with people and entities you can trust. This is the 4th product to launch with the bank and the need to change is increasing because payments are changing, it starts today with the GenZ who wants things given now. The partnership with Foodpanda and EastWest Bank makes it easy.

This really fits the need of their consumers. Time to get rewards with those foodpanda purchases huh?!

Celebrate Christmas Early with foodpanda

The Philippines celebrate Christmas early, and it looks like foodpanda knows how to make it even better. Filipinos call it the Ber months, possibly to mimic Burrr, something folks say when it's cold outside. Aside from the change of weather, people gather for intimate or festive ones to celebrate the season or make memories. 

Gone are the days of spending hours in the kitchen because the convenience that foodpanda brings could help you enjoy the 4 months. No need to cook, with a flick of a button inside the foodpanda app, you could order from thousands of food establishments, get groceries and supplies in a jiffy. No need to bring huge pots and pans, utensils or drinks because everything is available there. 

As a treat, foodpanda is also taking a Php 100 off your meals with the voucher code PASKONA in food establishments like Mang Inasal, KFC, Popeyes, Pizza Hut, Kenny Rogers, Pickup Coffee, Angel's Pizza or grocery stores like Pandamart. That's a smart idea that everyone should have especially when you are so busy entertaining. This makes it more affordable and take a lot of stress in prepping for the countless Christmas parties, Tree Lighting events, and concerts you plan to go to during these months. New and existing accounts can use this til the 31st of December, details are on the app too!

Isn't that a good deal? Go download it now because I heard there's even more of it available there!

Experiencing PANDA PLATES: Flavors of the World in Quezon City

 

Manmaru Japanese Restaurant, Pandan Asian Cafe took out their best dishes!

There's often a discussion between friends and family where to eat, but I think this doesn't happen often in Quezon City. Here, we've got choices, choices that you don't have (I kid!). Oh how I love being in my hood, and people know it. Imagine, you can feel like you've been around the world just by going through several restaurants in Tomas Morato. This is the experience done courtesy of the folks from foodpanda. They properly call it PANDA PLATES: Flavors of the World in Quezon City. Hold on to your seats because this is good! 

Chili's Tomas Morato had Half Slab of Ribs, Truffle Burgers, Molten Chocolate and Salmon.

 

As you can see, Quezon City did not disappoint when it comes to food from around the world. We also went to BASTA Cafe in Kamuning, pick ups from Dulcinea in Tomas Morato, had deliveries from Amici in the Scout Area and end with a feast at CHILI's in Tomas Morato. You can literally walk to these establishments but might take a while in some of them. Good thing we've got the foodpanda app to ease the burden on folks during this rainy afternoon. 

The Quezon City Tourism Department's Ms. Yasi Jorge told us this is one of the city's best culinary destination and they're glad that foodpanda is doing it here. It has been a vibrant way of showcasing food culture, tradition and innovation. Every street offers new flavors, a new story, and great experience. They're happy to be a part of the gathering that makes food from this place shine. There's a lot of home grown restaurants and establishments in this place and they're raring to welcome guests even more. Added it's a culinary capital that is worthy to be explored. This gives emphasis to give support in everything local. The dining culture is alive and thriving in QC, and definitely more to explore!

Ms. Jade Legazpi foodpanda's Senior Account Manager also shared how they'll be launching promos specifically during Quezon City's founding anniversary. This was on October 12th where they gave up to 20 percent discount on QC restaurants, so make sure you follow foodpanda's social media channels so you wouldn't miss promos like it in the future. foodpanda's Jerome Mangahas also awarded winning participants in the days event. It was really fund and we didn't go home hungry, thanks foodpanda!

Can't wait to have another one of these food crawls happen soon!
