These specially-designed 22oz GULP and 12oz City Cafe cups, each with a unique barcode, will be available in over 3,000 7-Eleven stores nationwide from March 9 to April 27.

Whatever anyone says, breakfast is the most important part of the day. And for the times you are extra busy in the morning and have no time to whip up a complete meal, grabbing a box of cereals is the next best thing. Although let’s be real, cereals are not just for breakfast and they are not just for kids as well. Have you always wanted to switch it up a bit but don’t know where to begin? Below, we list down where you can get imported cereals and other breakfast snacks for a quick and easy bite. And yes, all of these are available in the metro:
As Nature Intended
Just one look at their website, you’ll already know you’re in the right place. As Nature Intended is an e-grocery offering local and international products that make eating healthy much more achievable and less intimidating. They have granola and overnight oats, and they also have frozen food, skincare, health supplements, and workout equipment and beverages.
The newest kid on the block, Coop Fresh is an online grocer with a wide assortment of fresh food: from vegetables to poultry. On the side, they have the usual home essentials and other food items — including cereals and granola.

ICYMI: Celebrity chefs, Ninong Ry and Panlasang Pinoy’s Vanjo Merano released separate videos over the weekend in what appeared to be a throwdown-slash-collaboration between the two. Both personalities appeared in each other’s videos and showed viewers their own take on cooking the oh-so-controversial tinolang manok.
Anyone who’s seen either of the videos surely know by now that the reason the two chefs got together is because of an ongoing Twitter debate between lovers and haters of the traditional Filipino comfort food. The said debate—which many refer to as Tinola Slander—started in March last year but continues to persist today. Last week, famous meme accounts, FTTM and Kabulastugan, posted a screenshot of a tweet about it on Facebook. In less than 24 hours, the said posts had already had more than 20,000 and 1,000 reactions respectively and have been shared at least 3,000 times.
It was these posts that apparently drove the attention of Ninong Ry, Vanjo, and even global food brand, Knorr, to the Tinola Slander debate. Netizens were quick to tag the three on it, asking them to show haters how to properly cook tinola. Needless to say, they were happy to oblige and just a couple of days later, the videos are now up, further proving that the power of social media—even a seemingly petty discussion about the culinary value of tinola—can get people to take action. In the case of the two chefs, it gave them a good reason to collaborate.
Ninong Ry’s Fusion Tinola:
Panlasang Pinoy’s Classic Tinola:
In Panlasang Pinoy’s video, he teaches how to make fool-proof traditional tinola. In the said video, he emphasized the importance of following small steps like making sure to properly sauté your aromatics and cook your chicken for a long time in low heat for maximum flavor. Meanwhile, Ninong Ry shows three different variations of the said dish: Tinola Risotto, Hainanese-Inspired Tinola, and a leveled-up version of the classic recipe. In all the recipes they prepared, both Ninong Ry and Vanjo emphasized the importance of using fresh ingredients and Knorr Chicken Cubes to ensure a truly hearty and meaty tinola. Knorr Cubes is a trusted kitchen aid that has been helping generations of moms feed their families with delicious and nutritious meals. It’s also well-loved by professionals for its ability to meati-fy any dish to make it more flavorful.
For years, Knorr has made nutritious meals more delicious for Filipino families. Today, select Knorr products have added essential vitamins and minerals to make your favorite dishes even more Nutri-Sarap. Join us on our mission for a healthier future for every Filipino by using Knorr in your everyday dishes. For more information, visit https://www.knorr.com/ph/nutri-sarap.html
This March, Hershey’s Philippines celebrates the real power of women. Inspired greatly by this purpose, it has transformed its iconic chocolate bar packaging into a canvas of the achievements and contributions of four extraordinary Filipino women.
In time for International Women’s Day, Hershey’s Philippines collaborated with four unsung Filipino heroes—Malou Perez, Kate Alvarez, Sabrina Tamayo, and Fredeswinda Samonte—all admirable women whose work has helped to inspire many Filipinos.
The limited special “HerShe” packaging features photos of these four phenomenal women laid out on designs that showcase their stories and contributions to their communities.
Malou Perez – Pawssion ProjectKate Alvarez – SOS Philippines (Survivors of Suicide and Depression)Sam Tamayo – Project SmileFredeswinda Gaspar Samonte – PGH’s Cancer Survivors Organization
Malou Perez heads PAWSsion Project, an organization rescuing and rehoming distressed cats and dogs, while Kate Alvarez created SOS – Survivors of Suicide and Depression, an online mental health support group. Sabrina Tamayo’s Project SMILE aids persons with disabilities by connecting them with employment and other sources of livelihood and support. Freswinda Samonte of PGH’s Cancer Survivors Organization works actively to help support cancer patients.
Nica Babia and Eunice Carbonel, two up-and-coming Filipina illustrators, created the artworks. These reflect the advocacies through vibrant designs and colors to celebrate these incredible women and feature their causes.
“The Hershey’s IWD packs were designed to give honor to our unsung sheroes who quietly, with bravery and kindness, touch and change the lives of many. The four women and what they’re fighting for have deeply moved us,” Babia said.
Carbonel shared, “I think what inspired me is how kindness is contagious and how it helps us have a sense of connection towards others. It does not have to be big, and it certainly does not have to be related to money.”
To learn more about this campaign, please visit the official Hershey’s Facebook and Instagram pages for more details.

With the help of overhead projectors, the dining table transforms into an immersive theatre where the tablecloth, plates, and utensils become backdrops for the little chef to show off his culinary prowess.

This online challenge invites chicken lovers to assess if Gang Gang Chicken really has the real taste they claim to have.
“Many chicken lovers are stuck with the same choices all the time because they are hesitant to try new things,” says owner Joey Marcelo. “They tend to stick with the familiar. All we’re saying is that there’s a chance they might be missing out. What if there’s something else out there that’s actually better than what you’re used to?
“With our Online Sabong Challenge, we’re giving them a chance to validate their preference. Try Gang Gang Chicken. If it tastes better than what you usually order then it’s great news because you’ve discovered your true preference. If it doesn’t then it’s still good news because you’ve validated your taste preference as well. Many of those who’ve joined the challenge have posted about their experience on their Tiktok and Instagram Reels and we like how it’s evolving.”
Now it’s your turn to go give Gang Gang Chicken a try! You can order online at ganggangchicken.com, or by visiting one of their branches in Mandaluyong, Marikina, Quezon City, and Pasig City. Gang Gang Chicken is also available on Grabfood and foodpanda.
