Nobody expected that this pandemic will totally change our lives. From our daily routine to our usual hobbies and thing-a-ma-jigs that keeps us sane and connected with our loved one and friends. It all changed.

Some of us are fond of eating outside the comfort of our home. Maybe because you are not a good cook or you just enjoy the luxury of dining outside. Hence many of us now miss the ambiance of our favorite fast-food chain or your go-to restaurant and cafe where you and your partner or friends used to go to. To hang out, catch up or your favorite spot to enjoy sipping your favorite latte and with a good book.

EVERYTHING CHANGED!

Many establishments are now closing because they couldn’t afford to go bankrupt and instead save whatever they could to pay their employees and possibly debts. The best way that we can help these local and homegrown restaurants are to support them and buy from them. You may order food from them via Grab or Food Panda.

And after all this crazy whirlwind disaster and once the vaccine is out to the public and our government and WHO (world health organization) gave us a go signal that it is safe to mingle, get back to our old lives (which by the way the NEW NORMAL as they say), and we can all hang out to our favorite dining restaurant might as well check out these list of cafe and restaurant here in the south of Metro Manila.
