Tribu Kefi: Weaving Culture through Flavours

Tribu Kefi, a newly opened T’boli inspired café in the heart of General Santos City, showcases the culture through specialty coffee and curated dishes. The T’boli are an indigenous people of Mindanao, primarily living in nearby South Cotabato.

Each cup of our coffee is brewed with precision, championing the rich flavours of Matutum beans directly sourced from the highlands of Mindanao. You can taste in every sip the product of the craftsmanship of our local coffee farmers. Latik Latte, one of our signature drinks, not only looks cool on the eyes but refreshes in a way that is like no other because of its secret ingredient that brings out the latik’s nutty and sweet flavour. “Latik” is a traditional topping that makes use of coconut which is also abundant locally.

Our variety of food menu includes comforting Filipino breakfast and hearty pasta meals. However, what is most unique to us are the T’boli-inspired dishes like the Tudbulul which is a sweet and savory chicken dish inspired by the T’boli’s method of cooking.

Tribu Kefi is not only committed to delivering exceptional dishes but also to educate local diners about the history of every crafted dish served. Its goal is to serve and bring together communities that love to savor the richness of our local flavors, creating a space where people can connect, share stories, and celebrate Filipino taste and culture.

Tribu Kefi is located at Bila Boutique Hotel.

Add Spice and Everything Nice: Mala King Hotpot Opens First Branch in Arcovia City

Food enthusiasts are in for a fiery treat as Mala King Hotpot opens its first branch in Arcovia City, bringing the bold and authentic flavors of Chongqing, China—the undisputed land of mala—straight to the Philippines.

“Mala King was born out of our travels to Chongqing,” shared Kyle Yu, founder of Mala King. “We experienced the authentic malatang culture there—its bold flavors, the liberty to create your own bowl, and the cozy communal feel—and we wanted to bring that same experience here in Manila. We made sure everything is authentic, consistent, and premium, while still being reasonably priced. Mala King is about personal choices and quality with a premium dining experience in mind.”

At its core, malatang is all about bold flavor, customization, and convenience. What sets Mala King apart is how it balances authentic Chongqing hotpot culture with a distinctly Filipino dining preference—large portions, freedom to mix in favorite ingredients, and the joy of sharing meals where everything goes well together.

A World of Broths and Flavors

The Mala Original is infused with authentic Sichuan spices, customizable from one to five spice levels, and is highly recommended for those who love a perfect balance of spice, sweetness, and bold flavor. Golden Chicken delivers a nuanced yet hearty taste, capturing the natural essence of chicken and pairing beautifully with assorted meats, balls, and vegetables. Signature Tomato is bright, tangy, and refreshing, with the natural sweetness of ripe tomatoes. For something comfortingly familiar, Sukiyaki offers sweet and savory umami notes inspired by the Japanese classic. Premium Bulalo is a rich and hearty slow-simmered beef shank broth with marrow goodness, drawing inspiration from a beloved Filipino favorite. Finally, Spicy Tom Yum is a zesty Thai favorite, bold with sour, spicy, and aromatic herbal notes.

With broths inspired by Asia’s most well-loved soups, Mala King ensures there’s a flavor for everyone—whether you want something fiery, light, or soothingly familiar.

Enhance your hotpot experience with a wide selection of dipping sauces to match every craving. Go bold with spicy choices like gochujang, chili oil, or five spice. Add freshness with herby blends such as confit garlic purée, wansoy purée, and spring onion purée. Indulge in a touch of sweetness with apple-peach purée or hoisin sauce with caramelized onion. Or keep it classic with oils and sauces including soy sauce, light soy sauce, black vinegar, sesame oil, and sesame sauce. Each option is crafted to bring out richer, more flavorful layers in every bowl.

Build Your Bowl, Your Way

Filipinos love hotpot for its generous servings, freedom to add favorite ingredients, and versatility that makes every bite enjoyable. At Mala King, guests can create their own perfect bowl—whether as a dry mix or paired with broth. For roughly ₱500+ (20 toppings, noodles excluded), each serving already comes with rice and free ice cream, making it both indulgent and satisfying.

For those who prefer a different kind of indulgence, dry noodles can also be ordered using the same mechanics—grab, pick, choose, weigh, and pay—guaranteeing the same satisfying flavors of Asia in every bite.

Freshness and Premium Choices

Mala King takes pride in providing only fresh, consistently high-quality ingredients to enhance every bowl.

Diners can choose from a wide variety of meats, including premium chunk flap slices, marbled beef shank, tendons, and beef belly.

Seafood lovers will find a variety of options, including scallops, sea cucumber, bamboo clams, blue crabs, and squid flowers.

The vegetable selection is equally appealing, featuring lotus root, bamboo shoots, broccoli, cauliflower, water spinach, and seafood mushrooms.

To add texture and variety, guests can enjoy specialty balls like lobster balls, beef balls, cheese balls, and fish balls with fillings. Noodle options are also extensive, from egg noodles and konjac threads to soba and udon. For extra indulgence, diners can top off their bowls with extras like luncheon meat, siomai, wontons, seaweed, and sausage.

Sip and Refresh

The Mala King Signature is a smooth raspberry cooler with a tangy-sweet icy kick, crafted to refresh after every spoonful of spice. For something lighter, the Watermelon Breeze is juicy and summer-fresh, making it an ideal thirst-quencher for bold, savory dishes. Meanwhile, the Orange Sunrise delivers a bright, citrusy, and invigorating taste that cuts through rich flavors for a clean, revitalizing finish. Together, these drinks elevate every meal, making them the perfect partners for the Mala King hotpot experience.

McDonald’s Celebrates McSpicy Fans With The Launch of a New Twist: The Honey Mustard McSpicy

McDonald’s Philippines expands its iconic McSpicy lineup with the launch of the Honey Mustard McSpicy, offering fans a new take on a well-loved classic. Combining the signature spice and crunch of the now-available original McSpicy with a tangy-sweet twist, this latest innovation reinforces McDonald’s commitment to evolving its menu with fresh, exciting flavors.

The Honey Mustard McSpicy retains everything that fans of the original love — the crunch, the juiciness, and that unmistakable kick of spice — but introduces a thrilling new variety of flavor. Instead of the creamy mayo in the original, this limited-time version is finished with a silky amber-yellow honey mustard dressing, flecked with visible particles of spice that introduce a very mildly savory, zesty finish. It’s a marriage that strikes all the right chords: hot, sweet, and utterly irresistible.

“The McSpicy has always held a special place in our customers’ hearts,” said McDonald’s Philippines Marketing Director Ashley Santillan-Delgado. “With the Honey Mustard McSpicy, we wanted to surprise fans with something familiar yet refreshingly new — keeping the signature spiciness they love while adding a sweet twist that makes every bite even more exciting and flavorful.”

By reimagining one of its signature classics, McDonald’s continues to demonstrate that even classics can reinvent themselves in tasty new forms. Honey Mustard McSpicy calls to both die-hard fans and newcomers alike to rediscover the excitement of flavor only McDonald’s can provide.

“We love seeing how our customers bond over the McSpicy,” Santillan-Delgado said. “It’s not just a burger — it’s a flavorful indulgence. The new Honey Mustard McSpicy takes that experience even further, proving there’s always room for another favorite.”

The Honey Mustard McSpicy is a limited-time offering available in all McDonald’s restaurants across the country starting October 29, 2025. Along with the original variant, it is available solo or as a meal with fries and a drink, via dine-in, take-out, drive-thru and delivery.

Today, with the launch of the Honey Mustard McSpicy, McDonald’s capitalizes on the momentum, giving fans not only a comeback but an upgrade of the legendary burger.

McSpicy Hall of Flame

The introduction of the new Honey Mustard McSpicy and the return of the legendary McSpicy are McDonald’s Philippines’ ways of celebrating their customers. And to further reward their loyalty to the McSpicy, McDonald’s inducted five of the most loyal die-hard fans to the McSpicy Hall of Flame, “a (digital) wall of legends for the ultimate McSpicy fans…where the boldest, hottest, most loyal fans get their spot in McDonald’s history.” First batch of awardees include Jae Acosta (dubbed “Day One Devotee”), Kaye Lantoria (dubbed “Lunch Break Loyalist”), Joyce Avelino (dubbed “Faithful McSpicy Seeker”), Migi Rivera (dubbed “Consistent Commitment King”), and Joanne So (dubbed “Enlightened Spice Convert”).

McDonald’s also organized the McSpicy Challenge in some of its branches in Quezon City. Fans competed to eat a McSpicy Sandwich in record time without any drinks. Dubbed “Speedy Spice Slayers,” these fans were also inducted in the McSpicy Hall of Flamers: Christian Castillo (45 seconds), Joey Basbas (45 seconds), Mark Desamito, Jr. (1 minute 7 seconds), Khen Maichele Mendoza (1 minute 9 seconds), Mark Abulo (2 minutes 3 seconds), and content creator Papi Louie (2 minutes 6 seconds).

McDonald’s Philippines is still looking for additional fans to include in the McSpicy Hall of Flames. McSpicy fans with proven loyalty and fandom and affinity for the heat of McSpicy may stay tuned in McDonald’s Philippines social media pages for announcements on how to be included in the next batch of Hall of Flamers.
