Close to Home: Quick food delivery in Pasig

Delivery time: 22 minutes

Mazza serves flavorful and delicious Persian- and Mediterranean-inspired food that has become so popular around Metro Manila. Its beef shawarma (P85) and beef kebab rice meal (P95) stand up in taste to slightly more expensive restaurants like the popular Mister Kabab and Uncle Moe’s, but win in terms of price. A pleasant surprise though was the peppery peri-peri chicken (P120), certainly a curveball in a Persian joint, but nevertheless a pleasant surprise. The chicken was juicy, flavorful and interesting — our top recommendation at Mazza.

Restaurant: Binalot

Delivery time: An amazing 12 minutes!

Binalot serves hearty, home-style Pinoy meals. Go for the trusty tapa (P89) which comes with a side of kamatis and itlog na maalat. They’ve also got an interesting take on tapa in ‘tapadobo’ (P75) — exactly how it sounds: tapa cooked in soy-vinegar with a garlicky touch and fried egg on the side. Both are surprisingly generous considering the low price. Worth mentioning is that Binalot are intentional about using biodegradable materials as much as possible, with food wrapped in banana leaves and recycled paper which is probably part of why they can offer their good food for so cheap. Plus points for environmental friendliness.

There are a number of popular city-wide delivery companies around Metro Manila these days such as City Delivery and Quick Delivery. The downside with these services is additional delivery charges which can rise to a couple hundred pesos, depending on your location and the restaurant location — costs that are not clear until you speak over the phone with an operator.

The good thing for ERG residents is that Pasig offers some great options that are far more affordable and deliver much quicker — and they are within the neighborhood. Next time you need a quick meal and don’t feel like cooking, consider Mazza Shawarma or Binalot. Both establishments serve inexpensive comfort food that tastes good, and servings are quite generous indeed.
